A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has somatic symptom disorder. Which of the following would be a likely comorbidity of somatic symptom disorder?

A. "Smoking during pregnancy can place the child at an increased risk for developing anger and aggression." This statement reflects an understanding of how prenatal exposure to harmful substances can affect a child's development and increase the risk of aggressive behaviors later in life.
B. "Clients who live in areas of high pollution are at an increased risk for developing anger and aggression." Research indicates that environmental factors, including pollution, can have negative effects on mental health and behavior, potentially leading to increased aggression.
C. "Families who have financial hardships are at an increased risk for developing anger and aggression." Financial stress can contribute to increased tension and conflict within families, which can lead to higher levels of aggression.
D. "Clients who live in areas of high crime are at an increased risk for developing anger and aggression." Living in high-crime areas can create a sense of fear and instability, potentially leading to aggressive behaviors as a coping mechanism or a learned response to the environment.
E. "Clients who live in suburban areas are at an increased risk for developing anger and aggression." This statement does not accurately reflect evidence-based risk factors for aggression, as suburban areas are not generally associated with higher levels of aggression compared to urban or high-crime areas.
F. "Families who live in low-income housing are at an increased risk for developing anger and aggression." Economic stressors associated with low-income housing can lead to increased conflict and aggression within families, making this statement valid.

A. Insist the client report the incident. While reporting the incident may be important, it is not appropriate to insist that the client do so, as this can create additional pressure and may lead to feelings of coercion. The client should be allowed to make their own choices regarding reporting.
B. Touch the client for reassurance. Touching the client without their consent can be intrusive and may not be welcome, especially after a trauma. It's essential to respect the client's personal space and boundaries.
C. Ask the client a series of questions about who assaulted them. While gathering information may be necessary, bombarding the client with questions immediately after a traumatic event can be overwhelming. It’s better to allow the client to share information at their own pace.
D. Allow the client to control the conversation. Empowering the client to control the discussion fosters a sense of safety and autonomy. It allows them to share their feelings and experiences when they feel ready, which is crucial for their emotional healing after an assault.
