Rationale: The DSM-5 states that impairments in personality functioning and the individual's personality trait expression are not better understood as normative for the individual's developmental stage or sociocultural environment.The impairments in personality functioning and the individual's personality trait expression are not solely due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g.,a drug of abuse,medication)or a general medical condition (e.g.,severe head trauma).The nurse would question the diagnosis of a personality disorder in a client with sickle cell anemia,substance use disorder,or an intellectual developmental disorder.
