A nurse on the behavioral health unit is leading a group regarding risk factors for anxiety. At the completion of group work, which comment made by a client would indicate the need for further teaching?
A) "A lack of social interaction places me at risk for anxiety."
B) "My personality could place me at risk for anxiety because I am shy."
C) "Chronic illness is not a risk factor unless I am also unemployed."
D) "I experienced a traumatic event that placed me at risk for having this anxiety disorder."
Answer: C
Chronic illness is a risk factor for anxiety disorders with or without the unemployment factor. For some clients multiple stressors, such as chronic illness with loss of employment, are risk factors. So this statement indicates a need for further teaching. The other statements are accurate and therefore do not require further teaching.
