Exhibits Which client statement(s) require(s) follow up teaching by the nurse? Select all that apply.

A. This statement reflects a misunderstanding of the diagnosis. Acute stress disorder (ASD) does not mean the client is "crazy." ASD is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation, and it is important for the nurse to clarify that mental health diagnoses do not equate to losing control or being "crazy." Follow-up teaching should focus on reducing stigma and providing accurate information about the diagnosis. B. This statement is generally accurate, as many individuals may experience similar symptoms after a traumatic event. Normalizing the client's feelings can help reduce isolation and encourage engagement in treatment, so no follow-up teaching is needed here. C. This statement is correct; individuals with ASD are at increased risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) if their symptoms persist. The nurse can confirm this information and discuss monitoring for ongoing symptoms. D. This statement is appropriate, as holistic approaches such as meditation can complement traditional treatment for anxiety and stress. The nurse should encourage the use of these techniques and provide resources if necessary. E. This statement requires follow-up teaching, as it may promote a negative outlook on treatment. While some individuals may need long-term medication, many people can successfully manage their symptoms through therapy and may not require lifelong medication. The nurse should discuss the importance of reevaluation and ongoing assessment of the need for medication. F. This statement is accurate and encourages proactive engagement in treatment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and other therapeutic techniques can help the client manage distressing thoughts, so no follow-up teaching is necessary.
