Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has been diagnosed with acute stress disorder. Which of the following client statements aligns with this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because acute stress disorder involves experiencing distressing memories, nightmares, or flashbacks after a traumatic event, which aligns with the client's statement of having nightmares related to a recent car crash.
Choice B mentions childhood abuse, which may indicate post-traumatic stress disorder rather than acute stress disorder.
Choice C involves avoidance behavior, which is more characteristic of post-traumatic stress disorder as well.
Choice D does not directly relate to a recent traumatic event, making it less likely to align with acute stress disorder.
