Question 1 of 5
A nurse is educating a client about the risk factors associated with the development of anxiety disorders. Which client is most likely to develop an anxiety-related disorder?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Clients who have had multiple adverse childhood experiences and whose parents both have a history of anxiety disorders are at a higher risk for developing anxiety-related disorders due to genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Adverse childhood experiences can impact brain development and increase vulnerability to anxiety disorders. Additionally, the genetic component from parents with anxiety disorders further increases the likelihood of developing these disorders. This combination of genetic and environmental factors significantly raises the risk of developing anxiety-related disorders.
Incorrect choices:
A: Positive childhood experiences may provide resilience against anxiety disorders, so this client is less likely to develop them.
B: While unemployment and family history of cancer can be stressors, they do not directly correlate with anxiety disorders.
C: Lack of education may impact mental health but is not as significant a risk factor as genetic predisposition and adverse childhood experiences.
