A client living in a beachfront community is seeking help with an extreme fear of bridges, which is interfering with daily functioning. A psychiatric nurse practitioner decides to try systematic desensitization.
 
  Which explanation of this treatment should the nurse provide? 1. Using your imagination, we will attempt to achieve a state of relaxation.
  2. Because anxiety and relaxation are mutually exclusive states, we can attempt to substitute a relaxation response for the anxiety response.
  3. Through a series of increasingly anxiety-provoking steps, we will gradually increase your tolerance to anxiety.
  4. In one intense session, you will be exposed to a maximum level of anxiety that you will learn to tolerate.
