Question 1 of 5
A nurse is manning a phone line for trauma and crisis support. A client on the phone inquires, 'Could you explain how trauma-related disorders develop?' Which response should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: A

Trauma disrupts one's sense of safety, leading to psychological distress and symptoms associated with trauma-related disorders, such as PTSD. Genetics (option
B) play a role in susceptibility, but trauma exposure is the main trigger. Chemical imbalances (option
C) can be present but are not the sole cause. Physical harm (option
D) is not always necessary for trauma-related disorders to develop. Other choices are irrelevant or incorrect.
