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. This is because the client is displaying signs of distress and anxiety, and by staying with the client, the nurse can provide support, reassurance, and monitor the client's behavior. By remaining with the client, the nurse can assess the situation further and ensure the client's safety.
Choice B is incorrect as giving the client a PRN sleeping medication without further assessment may not address the underlying issue causing the client's distress.
Choice C is incorrect as encouraging the client to go back to bed may not be effective if the client is unable to sleep and is displaying signs of anxiety.
Choice D is incorrect as exploring alternatives to pacing the floor with the client may be important but should come after ensuring the client's immediate safety and providing support.
