Good morning to everyone!
Townsend (2009) defines anxiety as, "Vague diffuse apprehension that is associated with feelings of uncertainty and helplessness" (p. 852). Anxiety effects patients both in, and out, of the hospital setting.
The following case study, taken from Kelly (2012) pertains to three lawyers, each exhibiting different signs and symptoms. After reading all three, select one (1) and discuss the signs and symptoms, along with various treatment options available. Please include nursing interventions that would help to decrease anxiety, and those that should be avoided as they may increase the patient's level of anxiety.
