Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Teaching about manifestations of anxiety might be important, but addressing the immediate needs of the anxious client takes precedence.

Choice B rationale:

Completing the assessment is important, but if the client is becoming increasingly anxious, immediate intervention is needed.

Choice C rationale:

Reassuring the client of their safety is a priority intervention for managing escalating anxiety. This can help to provide a sense of security and prevent the situation from worsening.

Choice D rationale:

Administering an anti-anxiety medication should not be the first step, especially without assessing the client's current condition and considering non-pharmacological interventions first.

A. Asterixis B. Weight gain C. Abdominal pain D. Constipation

Weight gain is not typically associated with pancreatic cancer and may not be a relevant manifestation to include.

Choice C rationale:

Abdominal pain is a common manifestation of pancreatic cancer and should be included in the teaching.

Choice D rationale:

Constipation is not typically associated with pancreatic cancer and may not be a relevant manifestation to include.
