A client tells the nurse that she needs a bed near the door because she has a fear of being trapped in a room and not able to get out. The nurse realizes this client's fear could be related to:
1. A traumatic event.
2. Genetic predisposition.
3. Informational transmission.
4. Observing others.
1. A traumatic event
Rationale:
Factors that predispose a person to develop phobias, such as the fear of not getting out of a room, include traumatic events. Genetic predisposition would mean that others in the client's family have the same fear. Informational transmission means the fear would be explained or demonstrated through the media. Observing others would mean that the client has seen others demonstrate the same fear of not being near the door.
