Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires a crisis intervention for acute anxiety. Which of the following actions is the highest priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Protecting the client from injury. This is the highest priority because ensuring the client's physical safety takes precedence in a crisis situation. If the client is at risk of harming themselves or others, immediate action must be taken to prevent injury. Determining the cause of anxiety, ensuring the client feels safe, and identifying coping skills are important but secondary priorities once the client's safety is assured. In a crisis situation, physical safety is paramount before addressing underlying causes or providing emotional support.
