Answer 1

Different strategies used by the nurse to implement trauma informed care and promote recovery for the person who experiences a borderline personality disorder are -

• Safety is always the number one priority for nurses before intervention and the first thing they do is assessing if there are evidence of self harm or suicide attempt. Sometimes even written contracts are made that they won't harm themselves or others during the whole process.
• Since these kind of patients are very sensitive toward every thing that's why the second thing that nurses do is promoting independence wherever possible within limits and boundaries.
• Nurses try to communicate their expectation with the patient as well as try their level best to manage the expectation of the patient.
• Being genuine and treating the patient with full respect and maintaining their privacy is another strategy used by nurses. Creating a relationship of trust is the basic motive behind this.
• Nurses also encourages patients to discuss about their feelings, the emotions they are having but the behavior or the manipulation. An open discussion like this helps a lot in treating such patients.
• The nurses try to identify the conditions that trigger the worst side of their behavior and try to eliminate them by setting limits and creating an environment where they feel more comfortable.
