Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing a panic attack. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Encourage the client to take slow, deep breaths. During a panic attack, slow, deep breathing can help the client regulate their breathing, reduce hyperventilation, and promote relaxation. This technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system, counteracting the sympathetic nervous system's fight-or-flight response. Placing the client in a crowded area (
B) may exacerbate the panic attack by increasing feelings of overwhelm. Speaking loudly to the client (
C) may escalate their anxiety. Administering a stimulant medication (
D) is not appropriate as it can worsen the symptoms of panic.
