The charge nurse of the psychiatric unit observes clients in the day area. Which client is exhibiting symptoms of a conversion disorder?

A. An adolescent who becomes extremely anxious about going outside: This behavior is indicative of agoraphobia or another anxiety disorder, not a conversion disorder. Conversion disorder involves neurological symptoms without a medical cause, rather than fear-driven avoidance. B. A middle-aged man who is troubled with shortness of breath and is diaphoretic: These symptoms suggest a possible cardiovascular or respiratory issue or a panic attack. Conversion disorder typically presents with sensory or motor deficits rather than autonomic signs of acute physiological distress. C. An older adult who continuously troubled by a headache and back pain: Chronic pain may indicate somatic symptom disorder, but conversion disorder is characterized by sudden neurological deficits without organic pathology, not ongoing generalized pain. D. A young woman who suddenly goes blind with no indication of organic pathology: Sudden, unexplained loss of vision without a medical cause is characteristic of conversion disorder. Symptoms are neurological in nature, arise in response to psychological stress, and cannot be explained by identifiable organic pathology.
