Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
A congested, noisy environment is not conducive to maintenance of low anxiety. Moving the client to a less stimulating environment may be all that is needed for the client to lower his anxi-ety level. Each of the other options will be unnecessary if the nurse intervenes early.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
This indicates growth in learning the precipitants of anxiety. Option 2 is not realistic. Option 3 is beneficial but not related to the goal. Option 4 reduces egocentricity but is not related to the goal.
