Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Free-floating anxiety is anxiety that is always present and is accompanied by a feeling of dread. The client's anxiety lacks the specificity of signal anxiety or anticipatory anxiety and the lack of a plausible threat differentiates it from fear.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
In the nursing assessment of the client with anxiety, a priority assessment is determining whether the client poses a threat to himself or herself or to others.
