ATI LPN Mental Health Level 4 test II Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has panic disorder. The client tells the nurse she is suddenly feeling very apprehensive, has a sense that something catastrophic is going to happen, and that she sees bugs flying around her room. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Reinforce reality with the client. While reinforcing reality can help in addressing the client's hallucinations (seeing bugs), it may not be the immediate priority when the client is experiencing severe panic. Instruct the client to take deep breaths: Helping the client to take deep breaths can provide immediate relief from acute anxiety by promoting relaxation and helping to reduce the physiological symptoms of panic. Once the client is calmer, other interventions can be considered. Assist the client to identify the cause of the anxiety: Insight into triggers is more appropriate after the acute episode resolves. Administer an antianxiety medication to the client: While this may be necessary, it is not the immediate first action in this scenario.
