Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing care for a client who has recently returned from active combat and lost a close friend during combat. Which statement by the client indicates that they are experiencing traumatic grief?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the statement "I should have been the one who was killed instead of my friend" indicates survivor guilt, a common symptom of traumatic grief. This statement reflects intense feelings of responsibility for the death of the friend and a belief that the client should have died instead. This can lead to significant emotional distress and difficulty in coping with the loss.
Choices A, B, and D do not directly indicate traumatic grief. Statement A could suggest social withdrawal or agoraphobia, B may indicate a desire to suppress emotions to appear strong, and D reflects physiological symptoms of anxiety or PTSD.
