Your client is exhibiting signs of increased anxiety while in the Intermediate Care Unit. She states that the noise is driving her crazy. Your first steps to relieve her anxiety include all of the following EXCEPT:
 
  1. turning down the volume of the monitors in her room.
  2. sitting with her and describe the various sounds she is hearing in the hallway and on the unit.
  3. asking noisy individuals to lower the volume of their voices.
  4. offering a sedative.

Question 2

Your client, who is in pre-op, is trying to get off her stretcher and leave the unit. She is screaming that they should do her surgery tomorrow; she has other things planned for today.
 
  She becomes very combative and is very difficult to reason with; she has no known psychiatric history. You suspect:
  1. preoperative anxiety.
  2. manic depression.
  3. personality disorder.
