The nurse is planning an approach that will be most effective in developing a therapeutic relationship with a client. Which disorder(s) will the nurse best employ a matter-of-fact approach with the client? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: A matter-of-fact approach is effective for clients with schizotypal personality disorder as it helps in dealing with their eccentric behaviors and distorted thinking without reinforcing their odd beliefs.

Choice B reason: Clients with avoidant personality disorder may benefit more from a supportive and encouraging approach due to their sensitivity to rejection and feelings of inadequacy.

Choice C reason: For narcissistic personality disorder, a matter-of-fact approach might not be as effective because these clients often require admiration and may not respond well to a straightforward style.

Choice D reason: An antisocial personality disorder client may respond better to a matter-of-fact approach as it sets clear boundaries and expectations without emotional engagement, which they may exploit.

Choice E reason: Paranoid personality disorder clients may find a matter-of-fact approach beneficial as it provides clear and direct communication, which can help reduce their suspicions.
