    Anxiety NCP

    Uploaded by

    JULIANNE BAYHON
    The nursing interventions were aimed at reducing the patient's anxiety related to uncertainty and fear of the unknown by maintaining a calm demeanor, establishing trust, keeping the patient in a quiet low-stimulation environment, educating on treatability of anxiety disorders, initially supporting defenses, monitoring the nurse's own feelings, and staying with the patient during panic attacks with simple directions. However, after 24 hours the goals of being free from injury, discussing feelings, responding to relaxation, reducing anxiety, and being free from attacks were not met.

    client; displaying
    warmth, answering
    questions directly,
    offering
    unconditional
    acceptance; being
    available and
    respecting the
    client’s use of
    personal space.
    Rationale:
    Therapeutic skills
    need to be directed
    toward putting the
    client at ease,
    because the nurse
    who is a stranger
    may pose a threat to
    the highly anxious
    client.
    3. Remain with the
    client at all times
    when levels of
    anxiety are high
    (severe or panic);
    reassure client of
    his or her safety and
    security. Rationale:
    The client’s safety
    is utmost priority. A
    highly anxious
    client should not be
    left alone as his
    anxiety will
    escalate.
    4. Move the client to a
    quiet area with
    minimal stimuli
    such as a small
    room or seclusion
    area (dim lighting,
    few people, and so
    on.) Anxious
    behavior escalates
    by external stimuli.
    Rationale: A
    smaller or secluded
    area enhances a
    sense of security as
    compared to a large
    area which can
    make the client feel
    lost and panicked.
    5. Maintain calmness
    in your approach to
    the client. The
    client will feel more
    secure if you are
    calm and inf the
    client feels you are
    in control of the
    situation.
    Rationale: Provide
    reassurance and
    comfort measures.

    6. Educate the patient


    and/or SO that
    anxiety disorders
    are treatable.
    Rationale:
    Pharmacological
    therapy is an
    effective treatment
    for anxiety
    disorders; treatment
    regimen may
    include
    antidepressants and
    anxiolytics.
    7. Support the client’s
    defenses initially.
    Rationale: The
    client uses defenses
    in an attempt to
    deal with an
    unconscious
    conflict, and giving
    up these defenses
    prematurely may
    cause increased
    anxiety.
    8. Maintain awareness
    of your own
    feelings and level of
    discomfort.
    Rationale: Anxiety
    is communicated
    interpersonally.
    Being with an
    anxious client can
    raise your own
    anxiety level.
    Discussion of these
    feelings can provide
    a role model for the
    client and show a
    different way of
    dealing with them.
    9. Stay with the
    patient during panic
    attacks. Use short,
    simple directions.
    Rationale: During
    a panic attack, the
    patient needs
    reassurance that he
    is not dying, and the
    symptoms will
    resolve
    spontaneously. In
    anxiety, the client’s
    ability to deal with
    abstractions or
    complexity is
    impaired.
