A nurse is caring for a client who states. "When I get in the car to drive to work in the morning, my hands go numb. It is to the point where I can't grip the steering wheel." Which of the following conditions is the client likely experiencing?

B. Panic-level anxiety is characterized by intense and overwhelming feelings of fear and apprehension. Physical symptoms often accompany this level of anxiety, and shakiness or tremors are common manifestations. The individual may experience trembling or shaking of the hands, voice, or other parts of the body due to heightened physiological arousal.

A. Voice tremors can occur in individuals experiencing anxiety, particularly when they are feeling highly stressed or nervous. However, shakiness or trembling in the body is more characteristic of panic level anxiety.

C. Depersonalization involves feelings of detachment from oneself or one's surroundings, as if observing oneself from outside the body or feeling disconnected from reality.

D Poor concentration or difficulty focusing can occur in individuals experiencing anxiety, including panic level anxiety. However, it is more of a cognitive symptom rather than a physical manifestation such as shakiness or tremors.

C. This statement indicates an understanding of the needs of clients who are part of vulnerable populations because it demonstrates an awareness of the importance of client-centered care. Addressing the problem that the client believes is the most significant acknowledges the client's autonomy, respects their perspective, and ensures that their needs are prioritized.

A. This statement suggests a narrow focus on the immediate reason for the client's visit. While addressing the client's presenting concern is important, a limited assessment may overlook underlying issues or social determinants of health that could impact the client's well-being.

B. While privacy is important, asking clients for income or financial information may be necessary to assess their eligibility for financial assistance programs or to understand socioeconomic factors that may impact their health and access to care.

D. This statement suggests overlooking the importance of cultural competence in nursing practice. Cultural traditions, beliefs, and practices can significantly influence a client's health beliefs, behaviors, and preferences for care.
