Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports experiencing flashbacks of a traumatic event that occurred a year ago. The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following stress-related disorders?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTS
D). PTSD is characterized by flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive memories of a traumatic event that occurred in the past. In this case, the client reporting flashbacks of a traumatic event that happened a year ago aligns with the criteria for PTSD.
A: Episodic acute stress involves repeated episodes of acute stress, not necessarily related to past trauma.
B: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder and is not directly related to experiencing flashbacks of a traumatic event.
C: Acute stress disorder (AS
D) is a short-term condition that occurs immediately after a traumatic event, typically lasting for a few days to a month. Flashbacks persisting for a year would not align with ASD criteria.
Therefore, the correct answer is D as it best fits the client's symptoms of ongoing flashbacks related to a traumatic event from the past year.
