Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is having difficulty sleeping and is pacing the floor. The client's head down, and he is wringing his hands. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Remain with the client. The nurse should stay with the client to provide support, reassurance, and safety. By staying with the client, the nurse can observe any changes in behavior or potential safety risks. This also helps in building trust and rapport with the client. Giving a PRN medication (
B) without assessing the underlying cause is not appropriate. Encouraging the client to go back to bed (
C) may not address the client's underlying anxiety. Exploring alternatives to pacing (
D) is important but should come after ensuring the client's immediate safety and emotional support.
