1. Since learning that he will have a trial pass to a
new group home tomorrow, Bill's usual
behavior has changed. He has started to pace rapidly, has become very distracted, and
is
breathing rapidly. He has trouble focusing on anything other than the group home issue
and
complains that he suddenly feels very nauseated. Which initial nursing response is most
appropriate for Bill's level of anxiety?
1. "You seem anxious. Would you like to talk about how you are feeling?"
2. "If you do not calm down, I will have to give you prn medicine to calm you."
3. "Bill, slow down. Listen to me. You are safe. Take a nice, deep breath."
4. "We can delay the visit to the group home if that would help you calm down." -

have
visited. What defense mechanism(s) is this patient using to deal with his feelings?
