A client tells the nurse, "My mother spent many years in a mental institution, and my father would abuse me when her mother was not around.". The nurse realizes the client is at risk for developing:
1. An eating disorder.
2. Poor relationships with the opposite sex.
3. A personality disorder.
4. Substance abuse.
3. A personality disorder.
Rationale:
Risk factors for the development of personality disorders include a family history of mental illness, a history of abuse, instability in family life, and a client history of other mental illnesses. The client's mother being in mental institutions and the client being abused created an unstable family life. The client is at risk for developing a personality disorder. The client may or may not be at risk for an eating disorder, poor relationships with the opposite sex, or substance abuse.
