Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: The nurse is experiencing Peplau's moderate level of anxiety or situational anxiety. Benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Xanax) are effective for anxiety at low doses and insomnia at higher doses. SSRIs such as citalopram (Celexa) take at least 2-4 weeks to become fully effective. Buspirone, a nonbenzodiazepine anxiolytic, can take up to 4 weeks to achieve effect. The beta-blocker propranolol (Inderal) can prevent physical symptoms of anxiety and may be prescribed to control symptoms of performance anxiety only.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Peplau identified four levels of anxiety: mild, moderate, severe, and panic. The patient experiencing the panic level of anxiety may present with delusions and hallucinations, diaphoresis, dilated pupils, labored breathing, muscular incoordination or purposeless hyperactivity, palpitations, sense of impending doom, sleeplessness, trembling, unusual behaviors, and withdrawal into self.
