Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, E

The client diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder who is exhibiting extreme anxiety needs immediate pharmacologic intervention, a quiet and calm environment, and reassurance of his or her safety. The client should not be given paperwork to complete. Asking the client what is causing the anxiety and encouraging the client to discuss what caused the syndrome to develop are not effective interventions for acute anxiety related to this disorder and should not be done.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The client is reliving a traumatic event and has nightmares of being shot. This information would support the diagnosis of Post-Trauma Syndrome. The other diagnoses might be appropriate; however, Post-Trauma Syndrome would be the priority diagnosis at this time.
