A client consistently fails to accept the consequences of his or her own behavior. The nurse identifies this behavior as characteristic of:
1. Immaturity.
2. A lack of structure.
3. A need for medication.
4. A personality disorder.
4
Rationale: The failure to accept the consequences of behavior is a trait common to people with all types of personality disorders. The failure to accept the consequences of behavior is due to the individual's self-perception rather than immaturity or a lack of structure. Medications are not a first line of treatment for personality disorders.
