A nurse is discussing the risk factors for somatic symptom disorder with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following is a risk factor the nurse should include?

Choice A reason: A history of childhood trauma, including abuse or neglect, is a significant risk factor for somatic symptom disorder. Early adverse experiences can influence emotional regulation and stress responses, increasing the likelihood of developing somatic symptoms later in life. Choice B reason: Somatic symptom disorder can occur at any age and is not specifically associated with advanced age as a primary risk factor. Choice C reason: Coronary artery disease is a medical condition and does not predispose an individual to somatic symptom disorder, which is psychological in origin. Choice D reason: Obesity is a physical health condition and is not recognized as a risk factor for somatic symptom disorder.
