Anxiety Disorders Practice Tests

Anxiety can look like chest pain, restlessness, or ritualized behavior, and the nurse must sort urgency from routine care. Work through scenarios on panic attacks, performance anxiety, phobias, generalized anxiety, OCD, and trauma-related hyperarousal. You’ll choose immediate calming measures, teach grounding and breathing, plan gradual exposure for phobias, and reinforce medication education for SSRIs, SNRIs, buspirone, beta blockers, and short-term benzodiazepines. Questions emphasize safety, monitoring adverse effects, and evaluating response over time. Placed under Psychosocial Integrity → Mental Health Disorders → Anxiety Disorders, these cases sharpen assessment and stepwise interventions that reduce distress without creating new risks.
