NCLEX RN Practice Question

A client hospitalized with generalized anxiety disorder expresses distress about being assigned to a shared room, saying, 'I feel overwhelmed being surrounded by people.' What is the most appropriate intervention for the nurse to take to promote the client’s comfort and security?

  • Encourage the client to use techniques such as deep breathing to adapt to their shared environment.

  • Provide the client with stress-relieving activities to distract them from their discomfort in the shared space.

  • Explain that shared rooms are part of the hospital’s standard layout and ensure staff support is readily available.

  • Work with the client to identify a more calming and appropriate placement within the facility.
