A nurse is caring for an adolescent who has been subjected to abuse and neglect since early childhood. This is an example of which type of trauma?

Choice A rationale
While a family history of anxiety disorders can increase the risk of developing such disorders, positive childhood experiences can serve as protective factors, reducing the likelihood of developing an anxiety disorder.
Choice B rationale

Although a family history of cancer can cause stress and anxiety, especially if the client is recently unemployed and potentially struggling with financial instability, this does not necessarily mean they are most likely to develop an anxiety disorder. Unemployment can indeed be a source of stress, but it is not a direct cause of anxiety disorders.
Choice C rationale
Not graduating from high school or not completing the GED test can lead to lower socioeconomic status and fewer job opportunities, which can be stressful. However, these factors alone do not make someone most likely to develop an anxiety disorder.
Choice D rationale
A client who had multiple adverse childhood experiences and whose parents both have a history of anxiety disorders is most likely to develop an anxiety disorder. Adverse childhood experiences, such as abuse and neglect, are significant risk factors for the development of anxiety disorders later in life. Furthermore, having parents with a history of anxiety disorders suggests a possible genetic predisposition.

Choice A rationale

Being credible, collaborative, and consistent are important qualities for a nurse, but they do not specifically address the ethical and empathetic aspects of nursing care during a pandemic.
Choice B rationale
Being transparent and honest are important, but politeness does not necessarily equate to empathy. Furthermore, this choice does not address the collaborative aspect of nursing care, which is crucial during a pandemic.
Choice C rationale
Being transparent, collaborative, and consistent are all important behaviors for providing ethical and empathetic nursing care during a pandemic. Transparency ensures that patients and their families are fully informed about their care, collaboration ensures that all members of the healthcare team are working together for the benefit of the patient, and consistency ensures that care is reliable and dependable.
Choice D rationale
While honesty and caring are important, consistency alone does not necessarily equate to ethical and empathetic care. This choice does not address the importance of transparency and collaboration in nursing care during a pandemic.
