A nurse is caring for a client who reports stress related to homelessness.
The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following types of stressors?

Choice A rationale:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine. It’s not a stress-related disorder.

Choice B rationale:

Acute stress disorder (ASD) occurs immediately after a traumatic event, not a year later.

Choice C rationale:

Episodic acute stress involves frequent bouts of stress, not flashbacks of a traumatic event.

Choice D rationale:

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder characterized by failure to recover after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions, such as flashbacks, as described in the scenario.

Choice A rationale:

While the Healthy People 2030 framework does utilize health data, it is not limited to the past 20 years.

Choice B rationale:

The framework does monitor risk factors, but not just nonmodifiable ones.

Choice C rationale:

Identifying viruses across the world is not a specific goal of the Healthy People 2030 framework.

Choice D rationale:

The Healthy People 2030 framework does establish health objectives for Americans. This is one of its primary functions.
