Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing a panic attack. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Offer the client high-calorie fluids: This is not a priority during a panic attack. Addressing physical needs comes later. Administer an antianxiety medication to the client: Medication may be part of treatment but is not the immediate priority. Teach the client relaxation exercises: Relaxation exercises are valuable but should be introduced after the acute phase of the panic attack has passed. Remain with the client in a quiet area. Remaining with the client provides reassurance, safety, and emotional support, which are critical during a panic attack.

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client whom the nurse suspects has experienced abuse by a nonpartner. Which of the following principles does the nurse demonstrate by reporting their concern to a supervisor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Human dignity: While reporting supports the client's dignity, this principle focuses more on respecting inherent worth rather than safety. Ethical decision-making: This refers to the process of resolving ethical dilemmas but is not specific to reporting abuse. Trusting relationships: While trust is important, this principle does not directly relate to reporting suspected abuse. Nonmaleficence: Nonmaleficence is the ethical principle of doing no harm. Reporting suspected abuse aligns with the nurse's responsibility to protect the client from harm.
