Question 1 of 5

A nurse is collecting data on a client who is experiencing anxiety. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? A. Hyperventilation B. Bradycardia C. Drowsiness D. Peripheral vasodilation Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Hyperventilation B. Bradycardia C. Drowsiness D. Peripheral vasodilation

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hyperventilation. When a client is experiencing anxiety, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to an increase in respiratory rate to supply more oxygen to the body. This results in hyperventilation, which can manifest as rapid, shallow breathing. Bradycardia (
B) is a decrease in heart rate, which is unlikely during anxiety as the body typically responds with an increase in heart rate. Drowsiness (
C) is more commonly associated with conditions like depression or sedative use, not anxiety. Peripheral vasodilation (
D) typically leads to a decrease in blood pressure and warm skin, which are not typical signs of anxiety.
Therefore, the nurse should expect hyperventilation as a common finding in a client experiencing anxiety.
