ATI Mental Health Exam 3 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse on an inpatient mental health unit is admitting a client who has panic-level anxiety. After showing the client to his room,which of the following nursing actions is most therapeutic at this time?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Remain with the client for a while. This is the most therapeutic action because it provides immediate support and reassurance to the client experiencing panic-level anxiety. Remaining with the client shows empathy, comfort, and a sense of safety, which can help calm the client and establish trust. This action also allows the nurse to assess the client's current state and provide further assistance or intervention if needed.



Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because suggesting rest in bed may not address the client's emotional needs, having the client join a therapy group may be overwhelming at this point, and medicating with a sedative should be a last resort after other supportive measures have been attempted.
