ATI Mental Health Practice B 2023

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Remain with the client for a while. This is the most therapeutic action as it provides immediate support and reassurance to the client experiencing panic-level anxiety. Remaining with the client allows the nurse to offer a calming presence, demonstrate empathy, and help the client feel safe and supported. It also helps to establish a therapeutic relationship and can assist in de-escalating the client's anxiety.

A: Suggesting the client rest in bed may not address the client's immediate emotional needs and could be perceived as dismissive.
C: Medicating the client with a sedative should only be done after a thorough assessment by a healthcare provider and is not the initial therapeutic action.
D: Having the client join a therapy group may be overwhelming for someone experiencing panic-level anxiety and may not be the most appropriate intervention at this time.
