When admitting a client to the unit, the nurse would do which of the following to help the client feel a greater level of control over the situation in order to reduce anxiety?
 
  1. Call him Charles, so he feels that he is among friends.
  2. Ask him whether he would like his shaving kit in the bathroom or by his bed.
  3. Tell him that he has to take off all his clothes and put on a hospital gown.
  4. Show him to his room, and then leave him alone for a while to adjust.

Rationale: By giving the client choices, the nurse helps to relieve some of the client's anxiety by giving the client a measure of control for how his care will be provided. Calling the client by his first name is disrespectful. Placing the client in a hospital gown, while necessary, makes the client feel like less of an individual. Leaving the client alone in a strange environment could make him feel more anxious and alone.
