A nurse is assessing a client who reports using cocaine 1 hr ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. A client who has a new diagnosis of major depressive disorder: While major depressive disorder can significantly impact functioning and may require treatment, it typically does not meet the criteria for ACT, which is primarily designed for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness.

B. A client who has repeated acute care admissions due to schizophrenia: Repeated acute care admissions due to schizophrenia suggest significant challenges in managing the illness and maintaining stability in the community. This client may benefit from the intensive support and comprehensive services provided by ACT to prevent future hospitalizations and promote community integration.

C. A client who has requested family therapy following the death of a family member: Family therapy may be an appropriate intervention for supporting this client's grieving process and addressing family dynamics. However, it does not necessarily indicate the need for ACT, which is focused on individuals with severe and persistent mental illness.

D. A client who has physical injuries following an incident of partner violence: While this client may require support and interventions to address the effects of partner violence, it does not specifically indicate the need for ACT unless there are underlying severe and persistent mental health issues contributing to the situation.

A. Paranoid personality disorder: Individuals with paranoid personality disorder tend to be distrustful, suspicious, and perceive others as malevolent or intending harm. They may exhibit hypervigilance and have difficulty confiding in others.

B. Histrionic personality disorder: Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by excessive emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. Individuals with this disorder may engage in seductive or provocative behavior to gain attention and may display shallow or rapidly shifting emotions.

C. Narcissistic personality disorder: Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Individuals with this disorder often have an inflated sense of self-importance and may exploit others to achieve their own goals.

D. Antisocial personality disorder: Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a disregard for the rights and feelings of others, a lack of empathy or remorse, and a pattern of irresponsible and often criminal behavior. While individuals with antisocial personality disorder may engage in manipulative behaviors, they do so for personal gain rather than seeking attention or admiration.
