Question 1 of 5
Following a train accident, the nurse triages a group of victims. When the nurse asks how one of the clients is feeling, the client states matter-of-factly, 'Look at all the rescue trucks. It's like watching a movie.' Which defense mechanism does the nurse identify that the client is using?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dissociation involves detaching from reality to cope with trauma, as seen in the client’s detached, movie-like perception of the accident. Regression, projection, and denial involve different coping mechanisms not reflected in this statement.
