Question

question: 14 of 26 time elapsed: 00:20:34 a nurse is providing teaching to a newly licensed nurse who is caring for a client experiencing aggression related to posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd). which of the following statements made by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching? \the client has an increase in dopamine which results in aggressive behavior.\ \the client has dysregulated serotonin levels which results in aggressive behavior.\ \the client has a decrease in histamine which results in aggressive behavior.\ \the client has an increase in y-aminobutyric acid which results in aggressive behavior.\

Explanation:

Dysregulated serotonin levels are linked to impulsive/aggressive behaviors, including in PTSD. Dopamine increase is not the primary link to PTSD aggression; histamine decrease is unrelated; GABA (inhibitory) increase would reduce aggression, not cause it. This statement reflects accurate understanding of neurochemical correlates of PTSD-related aggression.

Answer:

"The client has dysregulated serotonin levels which results in aggressive behavior."
