NCLEX RN Practice Question

A nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with borderline personality disorder who becomes angry, raises their voice, and begins pacing during a group therapy session. What is the most appropriate initial action for the nurse to take?

  • Ignore the behavior to avoid reinforcing attention-seeking tendencies.

  • Ask the client to remain in the session to observe group dynamics and manage their emotions more effectively.

  • Encourage the client to step outside the group with the nurse to discuss their feelings in a calm environment.

  • Warn the client that disruptive behavior will result in them being removed from the group.
