Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Medication should be given promptly when a client is experiencing severe anxiety. The client should
be told when his next dose will be forthcoming and reassured that it will be given promptly. This
intervention can be helpful in lowering his present state of anxiety. Options B and D: Sending the
client away to lie down or to watch television will not lower his anxiety. However, staying with him
could be helpful. Option C: Joking is inappropriate because the severely anxious client has difficulty
processing information and will be unable to differentiate joking from fact.

Answer to Question 2

D
Voyeurism is the viewing of others in intimate situations such as undressing, bathing, or having
sexual relations. Voyeurs are often called peeping Toms.. Option A: A homosexual individual
would be interested in watching members of the same sex. Option B: Exhibitionists are interested in
exposing their genitals to others. Option C: Pedophiles seek sexual contact with prepubescent
children.
