A nurse is caring for a 21-year-old female who has a phobic disorder. Which of the following is the most effective nursing intervention when caring for the client?
  1. Encourage the client to identify the source of anxiety.
  2. Help the client develop problem-solving strategies.
  3. Encourage use of effective relaxation techniques.
  4. Encourage the client to keep a journal.
Explanation
Answer: A - The most effective intervention is to encourage the client to identify the source of anxiety. Anxiety is often displaced as a phobia. Writing on a journal can be helpful, but its role in treating phobia is limited. Problem solving is more appropriate to clients with clients who are diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Relaxation techniques are not enough to approach phobia.
