You are caring for a patient who came into the emergency department in a severe state of anxiety following a care accident. What would be appropriate nursing intervention for the patient?

Remain with the patient.
Put the patient in a quiet room.
Teach the patient to deep breathe.
Encourage the patient to talk about their feelings.

Explanation

Answer: A - Remain with the patient to prevent the patient from becoming overwhelmed and feeling abandoned. The primary focus of the nurse would be to put the patient at ease. It would not be possible to teach the patient to deep breathe or get them to talk until the anxiety has decreased. It would be okay to place the patient in a quiet room as long as you remain with them.
