Question 1 of 5

A client diagnosed with chronic respiratory failure is dyspneic. The client becomes anxious, which worsens the feelings of dyspnea. The nurse teaches the client which method to best interrupt the dyspnea-anxiety-dyspnea cycle?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Relaxation and breathing techniques are effective in interrupting the dyspnea-anxiety-dyspnea cycle by calming the client and improving respiratory efficiency. These techniques help reduce anxiety, which can exacerbate dyspnea, and promote controlled breathing to enhance oxygenation. Guided imagery may be helpful but limiting fluids is unrelated to managing dyspnea or anxiety. Biofeedback and coughing techniques are not primarily indicated for this cycle. Distraction and increased dietary carbohydrates do not directly address the cycle and may not provide immediate relief.
