Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Incorrect. Upper gastrointestinal series typically involve oral ingestion of a contrast medium, not an injection.
B. Incorrect. Clients are usually instructed to fast before an upper gastrointestinal series, not consume breakfast.
C. Incorrect. While it's generally advisable to have someone accompany the client for procedures involving sedation or anesthesia, fluoroscopy itself does not usually require sedation, and the client can typically drive home afterward.
D. Correct. Prior to an upper gastrointestinal series, clients are usually required to drink a contrast medium to outline the digestive tract for fluoroscopy imaging.

A. Discuss the client's feelings prior to the panic attack. B. Encourage the use of positive self-talk strategies. C. Instruct the client to use abdominal breathing. D. Administer an antianxiety medication.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Discussing the client's feelings prior to the panic attack may be helpful during a debriefing session but is not the priority during an acute panic attack.
B. While positive self-talk strategies can be beneficial for managing anxiety, they may not be effective during the acute phase of a panic attack when the client is experiencing overwhelming symptoms.
C. Instructing the client to use abdominal breathing helps to regulate breathing patterns and reduce the intensity of the panic attack by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
D. Administering an antianxiety medication may be necessary in severe cases of panic attacks, but it is not typically the first intervention. Non-pharmacological techniques such as breathing exercises should be attempted first.
