3. Referral to local employment agency
4. Guidelines on conducting activities of daily living
2. Information on the treatments available

The nurse should plan to provide the client with information on the treatments available for post-traumatic stress disorder. Information on exercise and activities of daily living will most likely not help the client's symptoms. Referral to the local employment agency may or may not be necessary.
