    A nurse is collecting data from a client who has posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a sexual assault. Which of the following is an expected finding?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Constant need to talk about the event: Clients with PTSD often avoid discussing the trauma due to distress. B. Increasing feelings of anger: Anger and irritability are common emotional responses in PTSD due to heightened arousal and difficulty regulating emotions. C. Sleeping 12 hr or more each day: PTSD is typically associated with insomnia or nightmares, not hypersomnia. D. Increasing sense of attachment to others: Clients with PTSD often experience emotional detachment and difficulty maintaining close relationships.
