Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,5
Rationale 1: The health care provider must accurately diagnose the anxiety disorder, because treatment differs among the various types of anxiety disorders. Some anxiety disorders are debilitating and require effective pharmacotherapy.
Rationale 2: Some clients benefit from individual or group psychotherapy, which can help them identify and overcome the root causes of their worry and fear.
Rationale 3: A thorough health history is not used to determine the category of anxiety disorder.
Rationale 4: A thorough health history is not used to determine the region of the brain that is causing the anxiety disorder.
Rationale 5: When obtaining a comprehensive medication history during the initial client assessment, the nurse should observe any substances the client is taking that might worsen or cause anxiety symptoms. Sometimes discontinuing or substituting an alternate drug for these anxiety-promoting medications can lessen client symptoms.
