1. Including family members in the interdisciplinary treatment plan
2. Reducing the client's level of anxiety to prevent behavioral escalation
3. Identifying the precipitating stressful event and current problems
4. Including pertinent data in the client's medical record


ANS: 3
Identification of the precipitating stressful event and interpretation of the existing problem are fundamental to working with the client to reduce symptoms. 1. Including family in treatment planning is secondary to identification of the stressor and the problem. 2. Anxiety will remain high until the problem and the stressor are identified. 4. This intervention is not directly related to the question posed.
