Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
Although SSRIs have long been used as first-line treatment for PTSD, there is scant evidence supporting this practice. Research supports treating specific symptoms as they arise.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: A
Children with anxiety often present with somatic complaints that do not have a physical cause. The nurse should inquire about the symptoms characteristic of all anxiety disorders, including impaired function or development related to anxiety. The nurse should not just instruct the mother to send the child to school, as this is not a helpful strategy in alleviating the problem. A thorough history is important, but most likely would have already been done in prior visits. Performing and documenting an abdominal exam are both important, but again will not provide specific assistance in this situation.
