Answer to Question 1

A
When a client is placed in restraints, a provider's orders must be obtained. A client would only be placed in restraints if the client behavior is dangerous to self, others, or when other less-restrictive measures such as a time-out have not worked. Permission from the hospital administrator is not necessary when applying restraints.

Answer to Question 2

B
Psychological treatments for anxiety disorders focus on assisting the client to learn to identify common stimuli of anxiety or fear responses. Treatment can help the client to develop plans to respond to those stimuli with nonanxious responses and problem solve when unanticipated anxiety-provoking situations arise.
