A nurse is caring for a client who reports stress related to homelessness.
The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following types of stressors?

Choice A rationale:

Arranging for him to receive the sacrament of the sick may not align with the beliefs of a Seventh-Day Adventist.

Choice B rationale:

Seventh-Day Adventists observe the Sabbath from Friday evening to Saturday evening, so not scheduling diagnostic tests for Saturday respects this belief.

Choice C rationale:

Assigning same-gender caregivers may not be a specific requirement for Seventh-Day Adventists.

Choice D rationale:

Offering him a kosher dietary menu may not align with the dietary practices of a Seventh-Day Adventist, who typically follow a vegetarian diet.

Choice A rationale:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine. It’s not a stress-related disorder.

Choice B rationale:

Acute stress disorder (ASD) occurs immediately after a traumatic event, not a year later.

Choice C rationale:

Episodic acute stress involves frequent bouts of stress, not flashbacks of a traumatic event.

Choice D rationale:

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder characterized by failure to recover after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions, such as flashbacks, as described in the scenario.
