Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Anxiety is characterized by feelings of worry, fear, and apprehension about future events or uncertain outcomes. In this situation, the client's concerns about her husband's chronic illness diagnosis, his treatment, and financial implications (due to his inability to work) indicate that she is experiencing anxiety. These worries are typical responses to stressful life events and uncertainties. Shock is a sudden and intense emotional reaction typically experienced immediately after a traumatic or unexpected event. While the client may initially experience shock upon hearing her husband's diagnosis, ongoing worry about treatment and financial concerns suggests a more prolonged state of anxiety rather than acute shock. Withdrawal refers to a disengagement or retreat from social interactions or activities. There is no indication in the scenario that the client is withdrawing from social interactions. Rather, she is actively expressing concerns and seeking support, which is inconsistent with withdrawal. Anger involves feelings of hostility, frustration, or resentment towards others or situations. While anger could potentially arise in response to the stressors described, the primary emotion expressed by the client in this scenario is worry and concern, which aligns more closely with anxiety than anger.
