The client was an awkward child who was ridiculed by his father for his inability to catch a ball
As an adult, the client developed panic attacks at the time his company established after-work team sporting activities. The advanced practice nurse determines that the client's anxiety occurs in relation to:

ANS: 1
This scenario illustrates the behavioral model, which attributes the etiology of anxiety disorders to an earlier traumatic experience. 2. The symptoms are not related to a physiologic cause. 3. There is no evidence of a deficiency. 4. This is not supported by data in the scenario.
