A person was abducted and raped at gunpoint - which assessment finding indicates the person is in the acute phase of rape trauma syndrome?

A. Shock and disbelief: These are hallmark signs of the acute phase of rape trauma syndrome. Immediately after the assault, survivors often experience emotional numbing, confusion, and difficulty processing the reality of what happened, reflecting the body’s initial crisis response. B. Fears and phobias: These symptoms typically develop later in the long-term reorganization phase, when survivors begin to internalize the trauma. They may avoid certain places, people, or activities that remind them of the assault, but this is not part of the acute phase. C. Decreased motor activity: While some survivors may present with withdrawal and limited movement, this is considered part of the controlled style of acute reaction, but shock and disbelief more consistently define the acute phase overall. D. Flashbacks and dreams: These are characteristic of the reorganization phase and are linked to post-traumatic stress disorder. They occur after the initial shock response, as the survivor begins to relive and process the trauma over time.
