Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The appropriate nursing diagnosis is sleep pattern disturbance. The client is not having illusions, nor is her fear of the fire unrealistic. She is not experiencing ego disintegration.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Tricyclic antidepressants and SSRIs are known to be useful in reducing anxiety and are sometimes useful in treating the anxiety disorders. Benzodiazepines are an excellent choice for the treatment of symptoms of anxiety; however, they are extremely addictive and should only be given in the case of true anxiety disorders. Calcium channel blockers are not used in treating anxiety disorders.
