A nurse in a mental health facility is reinforcing teaching to a newly licensed nurse about how to perform an Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) test on a client. The charge nurse should identify that the AIMS test is used for which of the following conditions?

A. Voice tremors are associated with moderate anxiety, where the individual begins to exhibit physical signs of distress but still retains some level of focus. At panic-level anxiety, communication becomes severely impaired, often resulting in unintelligible speech or complete loss of verbal ability.
B. Depersonalization, a dissociative symptom in which individuals feel detached from their own body or reality, is a hallmark of panic-level anxiety. During this state, individuals may experience a sense of unreality, feel as though they are outside their body, or believe that their surroundings are distorted, contributing to a profound sense of fear and disorientation.
C. Shakiness is a physiological response observed in moderate to severe anxiety due to increased autonomic arousal. However, at panic-level anxiety, the body is in a state of extreme crisis, often leading to more severe symptoms such as hyperventilation, loss of motor control, and derealization rather than mere shakiness.
D. Poor concentration is characteristic of moderate to severe anxiety, where cognitive function begins to decline due to excessive worry. However, in panic-level anxiety, cognitive function is severely impaired, and the individual may be unable to process information coherently, often leading to complete disorganization of thought.

A. Suspiciousness of others: Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by pervasive distrust and suspicion of others, leading to difficulty forming relationships. Clients may misinterpret benign actions as malicious and hold long-standing grudges.
B. Requiring frequent reassurance from others: This is more characteristic of dependent personality disorder, where individuals struggle with self-confidence and rely on others for decision-making and emotional support.
C. Inflated sense of self: This is commonly seen in narcissistic personality disorder, where individuals display grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others.
D. Lack of feelings of remorse: This trait is associated with antisocial personality disorder, where individuals exhibit disregard for the rights of others, manipulative behavior, and a lack of guilt or remorse for their actions.
