Question 1 of 5

Anxiety occurs in degrees, from a level that stimulates productive problem solving to a level that is severely debilitating. At a mild, productive level of anxiety, the nurse should expect to see which of the following as a cognitive characteristic of mild anxiety?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: At a mild, productive level of anxiety, cognitive characteristics include accurate perceptions, as the client can focus and process information effectively. Slight muscle tension and occasional irritability are more psychomotor or affective responses, not cognitive. Loss of contact with reality occurs at severe or panic levels of anxiety, not mild.
