Psychology Assignment Help| The PMHNP is evaluating Jared, a 47-year-old male

The PMHNP is evaluating Jared, a 47-year-old male who is brought to care by his wife because ―he’s not the

man I married 20 years ago.‖ According to his wife, she and Jared have been married for 20 years, have two

children, and have lived a ―normal‖ life. Jared owns a local construction company and their marriage has been

a solid one, characterized by the typical day-to-day issues that occur in most marriages, but otherwise happy.

For the last 2-3 months, she says Jared has completely changed. He will get angry for no apparent reason and

even broke a lamp once. He tells stupid and offensive jokes that no one else thinks are funny, and even had

someone call the police when he continued to make inappropriate remarks to a woman in a restaurant. Jared

seems unsure what to say, but his wife is adamant that this is a totally different man from the one she has

known. The PMHNP knows that Jared should be evaluated for:

A. Borderline personality disorder

B. Structural brain damage

C. Substance abuse disorder

D. Cognitive impairment
