Explanation:

Veterans often face unique stressors and health - related challenges due to their military service, which can increase their risk for poor health outcomes such as mental health issues (PTSD, depression), chronic pain, and other physical and mental health problems. A social services consult may not always be required, veterans' health benefits are subject to certain criteria and not always guaranteed, and veterans are still affected by socioeconomic factors like any other population.

Answer:

The client is at an increased risk for poor health outcomes.
