After losing her home to a hurricane several years ago, the client says, "I get very nervous during a thunderstorm and want to hide under the bed." What is the nurse's best response?
1) But it is just a thunderstorm. You would have warning if a hurricane was approaching.
2) I understand. That is normal and is nothing to worry about.
3) That is post-traumatic stress disorder. You might want to see a counselor.
4) What do you do when you feel this way?
