    Ati Nur 114 Mental Health Proctored Exam

    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?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Poor concentration is associated with mild to moderate anxiety, not panic-level anxiety. B. Shakiness is a manifestation of mild to moderate anxiety or physiological stress, rather than the extreme symptoms seen in panic-level anxiety. C. Voice tremors are typical of moderate anxiety or nervousness, not the severe, overwhelming symptoms of panic. D. Depersonalization (a feeling of being detached from oneself) is a hallmark of panic-level anxiety, where the client may feel unreal, disconnected, or as if they are outside their body, reflecting the extreme intensity of the anxiety and impaired reality perception
