The nurse is collecting data from a client with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)

The client is easily startled by loud voices. Clients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may exhibit hyperarousal symptoms, including exaggerated startle responses and hypervigilance. The client talking constantly about the traumatic experience is a possible finding in PTSD but not specific. The client is constantly drowsy and sleeping 11-12 hours daily is more associated with depression than PTSD. While the client may have satisfying personal relationships, it does not address the question of what finding to expect with PTSD, making choice C incorrect.

Reasons why the other choices are not answers:

Choice A, the client talking constantly about the traumatic experience, is a possible symptom of PTSD, but it is not specific to the disorder and may also indicate other disorders.

Choice B, the client being constantly drowsy and sleeping 11-12 hours daily, is more indicative of depression than PTSD and also does not address the question of finding expected with PTSD.

Choice C, the client reports satisfying personal relationships with family and close friends, does not address what finding is expected with PTSD, making it an incorrect answer.

Answer: B. Cloudy dialysate outflow.

Rationale:

A) Blood-tinged dialysate outflow.
While blood-tinged outflow can be concerning, it may not always indicate a severe complication, especially if it is minimal. It should be monitored and documented, but it does not require immediate reporting unless it becomes excessive.

B) Cloudy dialysate outflow.
This finding is significant and warrants immediate reporting to the provider as it may indicate peritonitis, an infection of the peritoneal cavity. Prompt intervention is critical to address potential complications associated with dialysis.

C) Dialysate leakage during inflow.
Dialysate leakage can occur and might be due to improper catheter placement or other issues. While it requires attention, it is not as urgent as cloudy dialysate outflow and can typically be managed without immediate escalation.

D) Report of discomfort during dialysate inflow.
Mild discomfort during inflow can be common, especially in the initial stages of peritoneal dialysis. It should be noted and assessed, but it does not necessarily require immediate reporting unless it is severe or persistent.
