Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Controlling breathing will help ease a panic attack or for anyone in distress. Guide patients to control breathing by breathing in slowly through the nose for 4 counts; hold breath for 2 counts; and blow air through the mouth as if blowing up a balloon slowly for 4 counts.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Offering firm reassurance and protection until the episode subsides provides safety for the patient. Teaching about anxiety and ways to decrease anxiety are not appropriate because a patient who is having a severe panic attack cannot learn at this level of anxiety. The patient is unable to focus on a physical activity at this level of anxiety.
