When working with individuals who have a personality disorder. The nurse is aware of the importance of incorporating which nursing measures. (Select all that apply).

A. "Why do you think you are being lied about and poisoned?": This question may come across as confrontational or challenging, potentially increasing the client's anxiety or defensiveness. It's important to acknowledge the client's feelings rather than questioning their beliefs directly.

B. "You are mistaken. Nobody is lying about you or trying to poison you.": This statement is dismissive and may cause the client to feel invalidated. It is crucial to acknowledge the client's feelings and experiences, even if they are not based on reality.

C. "Who is lying about you and trying to poison you?": This question may unintentionally reinforce the delusional thinking by suggesting that someone is indeed lying or trying to poison the client. It's essential to avoid validating or encouraging the delusional content.

D. "You seem to be having very frightening thoughts.": This statement acknowledges the client's emotions without directly challenging the delusional content. It shows empathy and creates an open and non-confrontational environment, allowing the client to express their feelings and experiences.

A. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome, treated by discontinuing antipsychotic medications: The symptoms described (uncontrollable tongue movements, stiff neck, difficulty swallowing) are more indicative of tardive dyskinesia than neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is characterized by hyperthermia, autonomic dysregulation, altered mental status, and generalized muscle rigidity. Treatment involves discontinuing antipsychotic medications and supportive care.

B. Agranulocytosis treated by administration of clozapine (Clozaril): Agranulocytosis is a rare but serious side effect of clozapine, not a treatment for the symptoms described. The symptoms presented are more consistent with tardive dyskinesia.

C. Tardive dyskinesia treated by discontinuing antipsychotic medication: This is the correct answer. Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary and abnormal movements, including tongue protrusion and facial grimacing. It can result from long-term use of antipsychotic medications, and discontinuing or reducing the dose of the antipsychotic is a primary intervention.

D. Headache treated by administration of Hydrochlorothiazide: Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and edema, not headache or the symptoms described, which are more indicative of tardive dyskinesia.
