A nurse is preparing to administer benztropine 2 mg IM every 12 hr to a client who is experiencing an extrapyramidal reaction. Available is benztropine 1 mg/mL for injection. How many ml should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Discuss the problem in a community meeting with the other clients on the unit present.

While open communication and community meetings can be valuable in certain situations, discussing a client's disruptive behavior in front of others may breach their privacy and dignity. It's important to address such matters privately and respectfully.

B. Escort the client to her room each time the nurse observes the client socializing with other clients.

This action might be seen as overly punitive and restrictive. Isolating the client based on their behavior without addressing the underlying issues doesn't promote a therapeutic approach to the situation.

C. Talk to the client and identify the specific limits that are required of the client's behavior.

This is the correct option. Talking to the client directly allows the nurse to address the behavior, express expectations, and set clear boundaries. This approach promotes open communication and gives the client a chance to understand how their actions are affecting others.

D. Tell the other clients to ignore the client's lies.

While it's important to encourage other clients to manage their reactions to disruptive behavior, simply telling them to ignore lies might not address the root cause of the issue. The nurse should aim to address the behavior itself and create an environment where all clients feel respected and safe.

A.In the context of severe anxiety, clients might engage in attention-seeking behaviors as a way to express their distress or seek support. However, wild fidgeting remains a more direct and common manifestation of severe anxiety.

B.Severe anxiety can lead to various physical and psychological manifestations. "Wild fidgeting" is a common physical manifestation of severe anxiety. It involves restlessness, rapid movements, and an inability to sit still. Fidgeting can be a way for individuals to release excess energy and manage their heightened anxiety levels.

C.While severe anxiety can lead to a variety of behaviors, threatening behavior is not a typical or direct manifestation of severe anxiety. Such behavior may be more indicative of other mental health issues or agitation.

D.Severe anxiety is more likely to cause impairments in concentration, focus, and problem-solving abilities rather than mild difficulty. Severe anxiety can lead to cognitive overload and make it challenging for individuals to think clearly and solve problems effectively.
