The nurse who follows the social psychiatry model of etiology of anxiety understands that the four stages of anxiety are explainable as:
 
  1. Individual responses to the environment ranging along a continuum from adaptive to formation of symptoms of mental or physical illness
  2. A generalization from an earlier traumatic experience to a benign setting or object that can be modified by new learning
  3. A genetically predetermined response to environmental stress
  4. Related to degrees of warning to the ego that it is in peril from internal threats

Question 2

A client is agitated, using profanity, and verbally threatening other clients. A priority nursing di-agnosis for the client would be:
 
  1. Ineffective coping
  2. Powerless
  3. Risk for other-directed violence
  4. Impaired verbal communication

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
This theory speaks of anxiety existing along a continuum, a feature that corresponds to the four stages of anxiety. Option 2 is an explanation based on behavioral theory. Option 3 is a biologic theory. Option 4 is an inaccurate statement derived from the psychodynamic model.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
These behaviors should be assessed as signaling high potential for escalating aggressive behavior unless intervention takes place. Identifying the nursing diagnosis facilitates thoughtful, timely, and effective early intervention designed to prevent loss of control and need for highly restrictive alternatives.
