Answer to Question 1

2. Information on the treatments available

Rationale:
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.

Answer to Question 2

3. Specific risks factors for certain diseases

Rationale:
Taking a family medical history helps the nurse determine which diseases are prevalent in the family. The nurse can then teach the risk factors and help the client make the appropriate lifestyle changes. The nurse cannot predict diseases that the client will encounter. Laboratory tests and referrals are appropriate after a client has been diagnosed with an alteration.
