A client with antisocial personality disorder insists to the nurse that she deserves special privileges and should be exempted from the rules. The best response from the nurse is:

“We have to talk about this in a calm manner.”
“I am not the right person to talk to about these things.”
“What special privileges are you requesting from us?”
“Your requests are inappropriate and unacceptable.”

Explanation

Answer: D - Clients diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder are usually manipulative. The nurse must be direct and firm, and should set limits to control unacceptable behaviors. The other options can give the client an idea that there is a room for negotiation.
