abandonment and aloneness May include depression, anger,

Borderline Personality Disorder Relationships move through these
predictable stages: Idealization and overvaluation Disappointment when unrealistic
needs for maintaining self esteem are unmet

on “narcissistic injury” Typically, this pattern is repeated- on
the job, in marriages, and in friendships

![Page 15: Mental Health Nursing: Personality Disorders By Mary B. Knutson, RN, MS, FCP](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649d5a5503460f94a3a3c4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Examples: Nursing Diagnosis Personal identity disturbance r/t early
developmental arrest e/b difficulty defining self boundaries
Self-esteem disturbance r/t physical abuse during childhood e/b verbalized unhappiness with his/her accomplishments
Impaired social interaction r/t rejection of sociocultural values e/b stated belief that rules to not apply to him/her
High risk for self-directed violence r/t need to punish self e/b repeated burning of feet when criticized
![Page 16: Mental Health Nursing: Personality Disorders By Mary B. Knutson, RN, MS, FCP](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649d5a5503460f94a3a3c4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nursing Care Use realistic, short term goals:
Pt will use verbal communication instead of acting out
Pt will verbally identify angry feelings when they occur during one-to-one interactions
Learning to relate more directly and openly causes anxiety
Increase anxiety-producing activities gradually while increasing environmental supports
![Page 17: Mental Health Nursing: Personality Disorders By Mary B. Knutson, RN, MS, FCP](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649d5a5503460f94a3a3c4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nursing Interventions Establish a therapeutic
relationship Family involvement Therapeutic milieu therapy-
including expectation of mature, responsible behavior
Encourage journal writing Limit-setting and structure Protection from self-harm Focusing on strengths Behavior modification
![Page 18: Mental Health Nursing: Personality Disorders By Mary B. Knutson, RN, MS, FCP](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649d5a5503460f94a3a3c4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Coping Mechanisms Projection- places responsibility for
antisocial behavior outside of oneself Splitting- the inability to integrate
the good and bad aspects people/object Expresses contradictions Inconsistent lack of impulse control “All good” or “all bad” perceptions
Projective identification- part of oneself is projected onto others, and subconsciously the person tends to respond as expected
![Page 19: Mental Health Nursing: Personality Disorders By Mary B. Knutson, RN, MS, FCP](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649d5a5503460f94a3a3c4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Nursing Implications Staff members must communicate
well so consistent messages are given when patients resist rules
Remember that manipulative patients sometimes lie
It is important to confront the pt who consciously lies or acts out
Loss of control may be dealt with by room restriction
Reality orientation may be necessary

Evaluation
Patient Outcome/Goal Patient will obtain maximum
interpersonal satisfaction by establishing and maintaining self-enhancing relationships with others
