Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anxiety is reduced when procedures are explained before completing them and when the nurse continues to talk to the patient during them.Limiting visitation has not been demonstrated by research to benefit patients.Explaining the unit routine is important but is not as specific to the patient as explaining a procedure right before doing it.Providing physical care is vital to critically ill patients,but may or may not reduce anxiety.
