Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with generalized anxiety disorder. Which intervention is most effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Encourage deep breathing exercises. Deep breathing exercises can help the client with generalized anxiety disorder to calm their nervous system, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. This intervention is effective in managing anxiety symptoms by increasing oxygen flow, slowing heart rate, and promoting a sense of calm.
Choice B (Promote high-stimulus activities) would likely exacerbate anxiety symptoms by increasing arousal and stress levels.
Choice C (Administer an antidepressant immediately) may be a part of the treatment plan but is not the most effective immediate intervention.
Choice D (Instruct the client to suppress worries) is not helpful as it can lead to increased tension and further anxiety.
