A patient with social anxiety disorder avoids all social situations, leading to significant impairment in their daily life. The nurse understands that this avoidance behavior is often maintained by:

  • Positive reinforcement from family.
  • The desire for isolation.
  • Negative reinforcement by reducing anxiety in the short term.
  • A genetic predisposition to avoid people.
