Drinking, or using other substances to relieve anxiety, is not recommended and can lead to substance misuse. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension/Understanding TOP: Nursing Process: Evaluation MSC: Psychosocial Integrity 3. The nurse’s aide is taking vital signs on a client admitted with severe anxiety.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge/Remembering TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Psychosocial Integrity 5. A client presents to the emergency dep artment with symptoms of severe anxiety. Which question or statement by the nurse would be most important? “Have you been using alcohol or other drugs recently?” “You look fine to me. Why are you so anxious?” “Does anyone else in your family have anxiety?” “What problems are you having in your life right now?” Answe r: A Withdrawal from cigarettes, alcohol, or other drugs can precipitate anxiety. A family history may be contributory but should not be prioritized before the possibility of withdrawal.
