Detailed explanation-1: -Rationale: Rituals provide a means for the individual to control anxiety. If not permitted to carry out the ritual, the client probably will experience unbearable anxiety.
Detailed explanation-2: -Practice Active Listening The best nurses listen to what patients say, taking their concerns and questions seriously. Active listening skills provide a great deal of anxiety relief for patients. This includes asking open-ended questions, asking about their feelings, and taking interest in what they are saying.
Detailed explanation-3: -The nurse must first assess the person’s anxiety level because this determines what interventions are likely to be effective. Treatment of anxiety disorders usually involves medication and therapy. A combination of both produces better results than either one alone.
Detailed explanation-4: -Surveillance interventions include detecting changes from baseline data and recognizing abnormal response. Nurses rely on the senses to detect changes: observing the appearance and characteristics of clients; hearing by auscultation, pitch, and tone.
