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?

Choice A reason: Sleeping excessively is not typical of PTSD. Clients often experience insomnia, nightmares, or hyperarousal rather than prolonged sleep. Choice B reason: Clients with PTSD usually avoid discussing the traumatic event due to distress. A constant need to talk about the event is not characteristic of PTSD. Choice C reason: Increasing anger is a common symptom of PTSD. Clients may experience irritability, hypervigilance, and heightened emotional responses due to trauma-related triggers. Choice D reason: PTSD often leads to social withdrawal and detachment, not increased attachment. Clients may feel isolated and struggle with trust.
