What is the significant advantage of planning to use the humanistic nursing model in providing care to clients with anxiety disorders? The nurse:

1. Remains detached and has less opportunity to become anxious
2. Is expected to be fully available and in relationship with the client
3. Uses techniques derived from classical and operant conditioning
4. Is primarily concerned with milieu management

Question 2

The nurse designing a teaching plan for family members of clients with agoraphobia should make it a priority to plan to:

1. Discuss the importance of supporting client independence
2. Advise family members to avoid discussing the client's progress
3. Include signs and symptoms of impending relapse of the phobia
4. Teach strategies for promoting improved hygiene and grooming

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The humanistic nursing theory sees nursing as an interactive process occurring between two per-sonsone needing help and one willing to give help. The nurse is identified as being part of, ra-ther than an observer of, the interactive helping process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Clients with agoraphobia need positive reinforcement and support for becoming more independ-ent relative to leaving the home unaccompanied. Families are apt to assume the roles of the com-promised member and take on that member's tasks, such as shopping. They must support the in-dependence afforded by recovery. 2. There is no need to restrict discussion of progress; in fact, positive feedback is warranted. 3. The signs and symptoms of relapse are obvious, because the client becomes more reluctant to leave the home. 4. Hygiene and grooming deficits are not asso-ciated with agoraphobia.
