Question 1 of 5

A client with a history of pulmonary emboli is scheduled for the insertion of an inferior vena cava filter. The nurse checks on the client 1 hour after the primary health care provider has explained the procedure and obtained informed consent from the client. The client is lying in bed, wringing his hands, and states to the nurse, 'I'm not sure about this. What if it doesn't work and I'm just as bad off as before?' Which concern for the client should the nurse identify at this time?

A. Anxiety and depression B. Inability to handle the treatment regimen C. Lack of knowledge about the surgical procedure D. Fear about the potential risks and outcomes of surgery

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: This client has indicated the surgical procedure and its outcome as the object of fear. Anxiety is present when the client cannot identify the source of the uneasy feelings. Presently there are not indications that the client is depressed. A client's inability to handle a treatment regimen would be when the client is not making needed adaptations to deal with daily life. Lack of knowledge would be when there is a lack of appropriate information.
