    HESI RN EXIT 1 PROCTORED EXAM

    The nurse is providing education to a client who experiences recurrent levels of moderate anxiety to situations and perceived stress. In addition to information about prescribed medication and administration, which instruction should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Center attention on positive upbeat music . While positive music can be helpful for some individuals in managing anxiety, it may not be effective for everyone, especially those experiencing moderate anxiety. B. Find outlets for more social interaction: Increasing social interaction may be beneficial for managing anxiety for some individuals, but it may not address the underlying issues contributing to recurrent moderate anxiety. C. Practice using muscle relaxation techniques: Muscle relaxation techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation or deep breathing exercises, can help reduce physical tension and promote relaxation, which can be effective in managing anxiety symptoms. D. Think about reasons the episodes occur: While understanding triggers for anxiety episodes is important, simply thinking about the reasons may not provide immediate relief or effective coping strategies for managing anxiety symptoms.
