護理師正在照護一位經歷嚴重焦慮的病人。病人說：「我感覺我要死了。」護理師應首先採取下列何項行動？
A nurse is caring for a client experiencing severe anxiety. The client states, 'I feel like I'm going to die.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take FIRST?
- AAdminister a prescribed anxiolytic medication.給予處方之抗焦慮藥物
- BStay with the client and provide reassurance.✓ 正解陪伴個案並提供安慰
- CEncourage deep breathing exercises.鼓勵進行深呼吸運動
- DAsk the client to describe their specific fears.請個案描述其具體的恐懼
當病人經歷嚴重焦慮（Severe anxiety）並表達「瀕死感」時，首要任務是確保病人的安全與穩定情緒。護理師必須留在病人身邊（B），這能提供即時的心理支持與安全感，降低病人的恐慌程度。在病人情緒激動時，應先建立穩定環境，再進行後續的呼吸練習（C）或藥物處置（A）。若離開病人，可能導致其焦慮惡化至恐慌發作。
When a client experiences severe anxiety and expresses a sense of impending death, the first task is to ensure the client's safety and stabilize their emotions. The nurse must remain with the client (B); this provides immediate emotional support and a sense of safety and reduces the client's panic. When the client is emotionally agitated, a stable environment should be established before subsequent breathing exercises (C) or pharmacologic intervention (A). Leaving the client may allow the anxiety to deteriorate into a panic attack.
