Which statement about the treatment of clients with panic disorder is inaccurate?
 
  A) Benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium) are the long-term pharmacological treatment of choice because of their nonaddicting quality.
  B) Treatment includes identification of triggers that escalate anxiety symptoms.
  C) A select group of antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs) has been found helpful in long-term treatment.
  D) Relaxation exercises, guided imagery, and meditation are effective in preventing or reducing anxiety symptoms.

Question 2

A psychiatric nurse has worked with a client throughout the client's 6-week, short-term outpatient psychiatric treatment and is guiding the client to formulate follow-up independent self-care plans.
 
  The nurse gently teases the client about a momentary lapse into an old maladaptive behavior. The client responds by smiling and saying, You're right See? I am so much better now The old me would have stormed out of here cursing if you had said that the first day we met. The client's response indicates that the nurse's primary purpose in this use of humor with this client succeeded because it promotes the client's: a. acceptance of a lifelong problem
  b. insight and control of symptoms
  c. awareness of the need for long-term treatment
  d. conscious use of defense mechanisms
