Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exposure-based homework assignments for patients with PTSD often involve gradually and systematically confronting fears related to their trauma in a controlled and therapeutic manner. Watching a war movie could serve as a form of imaginal exposure to combat-related stimuli, helping the patient to process and desensitize to traumatic memories in a safe environment. The other options do not directly involve exposure to combat-related stimuli.
