A nurse on a mental health unit is leading a group therapy session for a group of clients. Which of the following statements should the nurse expect from a client who has an anxiety disorder?

A. "I check my breasts for lumps every day, but I'm still really scared about getting breast cancer.": This statement reflects obsessive-compulsive tendencies, with repetitive checking driven by intrusive thoughts, rather than generalized anxiety disorder. B. "I have had several negative pregnancy tests, but I know they are all wrong.": This represents a delusional belief, which is more characteristic of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, not an anxiety disorder. C. "I double-check my pills because I think the pharmacist may be putting poison in them.": This indicates paranoid thinking, suggesting a psychotic or paranoid disorder rather than a primary anxiety disorder. D. "I feel really nervous when my partner goes to work, and I am home alone during the day.": This reflects generalized anxiety or situational anxiety, characterized by excessive worry about everyday events and situations. This type of statement is consistent with the expected presentation of a client with an anxiety disorder.
