A nurse is caring for a 9-year-old child who mimics shooting a gun with their hand whenever someone enters the room or tries to interact with them.

 This is an example of which manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorder? 

Choice A rationale
Having a mother who had you when she was in high school does not necessarily indicate a protective factor. It could mean that the mother was not fully prepared for the responsibilities of parenthood, which could have led to a less stable upbringing.
Choice B rationale
Having parents in the military and moving a lot since birth can be a source of stress and instability for a child. Constantly changing environments and having to adapt to new schools and make new friends can be challenging and anxiety-inducing.
Choice C rationale
Having a supportive and understanding teacher can be a significant protective factor for an adolescent with an anxiety disorder. A teacher who listens well can provide a safe and supportive environment for the student to express their feelings and concerns, which can help alleviate anxiety.
Choice D rationale

Having a sibling with health problems can be a source of stress and anxiety for a child. The parents’ attention might be primarily focused on the sibling’s health issues, which could lead to feelings of neglect or added pressure to be the “healthy” or “problem-free” child.

Choice A rationale
Using EPA registered insect repellants is a form of primary prevention, as it aims to prevent tick bites, which are the primary mode of transmission for Lyme disease.
Choice B rationale
Checking your clothing and body for ticks after being outdoors is a form of secondary prevention. If a tick is found and removed before it has had a chance to transmit the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, this can prevent the disease from occurring.
Choice C rationale
Wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants while outdoors is another form of primary prevention, as it can help prevent tick bites.
Choice D rationale
Notifying your health care provider if you notice a rash (especially a bull’s-eye rash, which is a common early symptom of Lyme disease) is a form of tertiary prevention, as it involves managing the symptoms of an existing disease.
