Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Involving the anxious resident in a pleasant activity such as music therapy, conversation, or a craft can allay anxiety. Stimulation frequently adds to anxiety, and sedation does not address the need for anxiety-reducing coping skills.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Identification of specific fears helps crystallize the resident's concern and can help define the remedy.
