Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Agoraphobia is the fear of places or situations where the individual feels unable to escape. Because of these fears, the individual may not leave the home. Social phobia is a fear of social or performance situations where embarrassment may occur. Hematophobia is the fear of blood. Pathophobia is the fear of disease.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The role of the professional nurse caring for clients with phobic disorders is to provide comfort to the client and family and alleviate emotional distress. The nurse supports adaptive coping while empowering the client by providing information, accessing resources, and communicating therapeutically. The nurse should not encourage the client to confront fears or tell the client that the hospital is a safe place. The client may or may not be prescribed medication for the disorder.
