A client who recently returned from duty in Iraq is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The client’s family questions what this means. How should the nurse respond to the family?
1. “The client might experience sweating, increased heart rate, and blushing when asked to speak to an audience.”
2. “Whenever in an enclosed, small space, the client might experience an attack of sweating, racing heart, shortness of breath, and trembling.”
3. “The client might experience nightmares, hallucinations, or flashbacks, accompanied by a racing heart, sweating, shortness of breath, and trembling.”
4. “It might be common for the client to repetitively wash his hands over and over without apparent reason.”
