Question 1 of 5

A nurse on an inpatient mental health unit is caring for a client who is experiencing panic level anxiety. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Shakiness. During panic level anxiety, the body's fight-or-flight response is activated, leading to physical symptoms such as trembling or shakiness. This is due to increased adrenaline levels causing muscle tension. Voice tremors (
A) may occur but are not as common as shakiness. Depersonalization (
C) is more associated with dissociative disorders rather than panic anxiety. Poor concentration (
D) is a potential symptom, but shakiness is a more immediate and common physical manifestation of panic level anxiety.
