Certain personality traits cause pts to violate the expectations of the sick role and elicit corrective or punitive responsed from caretakers, esp in medical settings. Match the personality trait below with the statement about sick role behavior that best matches it. Answers may be used once or not at all
A) Dependent strivings
B) Antisociality
C) Narcissism
D) Borderline traits
E) Compulsiveness
F) Schizotypy
G) Suspiciousness/mistrust (non-psychotic paranoia)
H) Passivity
I) Histionicity
1) Pts exaggerate their complaints but present them so vaguely, that psycians doubt they are real
2) Pts are reluctant to seek medical care and may have trouble forming an appropriately dependent relationship with a physcian or complying with recommendations
3) Pts are reluctant to resume normal responsibilities and detach from the role of recipient of care
4) Pts have difficulty acknowledging signs of illness in themselves
5) Hospital staff often find themselves disagreeing with one another over legitimacy of the pt's distress; pts may alternate between angry rejection of offered help and undue passivity or neediness

2)Paranoid pts mistrust physicians. They tend to scrutinize every bit of evidence or information they are given, and will often be non-compliant out of fear of unforseen, negative consequences.

1) is Factictious ( I am not sure y it used passivity to describe it)
These pts feigned symptoms in order to assume sick role. External motives absent. Dramatic but vague presentation. May exhibit pseudologia fantastica. Also known as Munchausen's Syndrome
