A nurse is assessing a client who has vision impairment related to acute angle-closure glaucoma. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

A) Administer a sedative medication to the client: While sedative medications can help manage acute anxiety, they should not be the first intervention. Medication administration comes after attempting non-pharmacological strategies to de-escalate the situation.

B) Encourage strenuous physical activity to decrease tension: Strenuous physical activity can sometimes exacerbate anxiety rather than alleviate it, particularly during a panic-level episode. It might not be safe or effective for immediate calming.

C) Encourage the client to explore feelings that contribute to anxiety: Exploring feelings is more appropriate once the client has been calmed. During a panic-level anxiety episode, the client may not be able to engage in reflective thinking or communication effectively.

D) Speak to the client using short and simple statements in calm voice: Using short, simple statements in a calm voice helps to provide clear and concise communication, which can be grounding and reassuring for someone experiencing panic-level anxiety. This approach helps to de-escalate the situation by reducing confusion and agitation.

A) Place the child in a tub bath of tepid water: While tepid water can help in some situations of hyperthermia, it is not suitable for hypothermia. A more controlled and gradual rewarming method is necessary to prevent further complications such as rewarming shock.

B) Cover the child's head with a hat: Covering the child's head with a hat is an important step in rewarming because a significant amount of body heat is lost through the head. This helps in retaining body heat and stabilizing the child’s temperature.

C) Administer acetaminophen every 4 hr: Acetaminophen is typically used for reducing fever and managing pain. It is not indicated for treating hypothermia, as it does not aid in rewarming the body or addressing the underlying hypothermic condition.

D) Obtain a specimen for blood cultures: While obtaining blood cultures might be necessary if there is a suspicion of infection, it is not a primary intervention for treating hypothermia. Immediate focus should be on rewarming and stabilizing the child.
