1. Anxiety
2. Self-care deficit
3. Altered thought processes
4. Ineffective individual coping
Answer: 2
Explanation: During the 19th century, psychiatric nurses attended mainly to the physical needs of patients and did not pursue systematic interpersonal work with them. Psychiatric nursing practice was primarily custodial. Nursing care that systematically addresses anxiety, coping, and altered-thought processes did not come about until the mid-20th century.
