A nurse is initiating a plan of care for a newly admitted client who has schizoid personality disorder. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

The correct answer is B: Give the client a choice of solitary activities. Individuals with schizoid personality disorder tend to prefer solitary activities and have difficulty forming close relationships. Offering a choice of solitary activities respects their need for independence and solitude, promoting their sense of control and autonomy. This intervention can help the client feel more comfortable and engaged without the pressure of social interaction.
A: Identifying splitting behaviors is more relevant to borderline personality disorder, not schizoid.
C: Helping the client identify sources of anger may not be as beneficial since schizoid individuals often have limited emotional expression.
D: Setting limits on the client's social contact is not appropriate as schizoid individuals prefer solitude.
