Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
If a client becomes agitated during an assessment, it is appropriate to tell the client that you can continue the assessment later. Performing the assessment faster or persisting is likely to exacerbate the client's anxiety. It would be inappropriate to tell the client that his current anxiety will serve a later purpose.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Numerous medications from a variety of drug classes have the potential to cause anxiety. This contribution is more common than anxiety resulting from an organic brain change, a cognitive deficit, or a fluid and electrolyte imbalance, though each is a clinical possibility.
