Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should check the client's blood pressure before administering the antianxiety drug because physiologic manifestations of panic attacks can include increased blood pressure. Temperature, blood sugar, and RBC count are not adversely affected by antianxiety drugs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Constipation results from the action of the antianxiety agents, which slow intestinal transit time. An increased fiber intake would help combat the constipation. Constipation does not result from an overdose of the drug or from oral administration.
