A nurse is assessing a client who has posttraumatic stress disorder following the occurrence of a natural disaster. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to identify the client's support systems?

A. "Do you have difficulty sleeping at night?" – While sleep disturbances are common in PTSD, this question assesses symptoms rather than support systems. B. "How do you feel about the current status of your life?" – This question may provide insight into the client’s emotional state but does not directly assess their support systems. C. "Have you noticed changes in your eating patterns?" – Changes in appetite can occur with PTSD, but this question focuses on physical symptoms rather than support systems. D. "Are you comfortable discussing the disaster with your family or friends?" – This is the best choice because it directly assesses whether the client has a support system in place and feels comfortable relying on them for emotional support.
