A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing a panic attack. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

The correct answer is B: Sit with the client to provide a sense of security. During a panic attack, the client may feel intense fear and distress. Sitting with the client can offer reassurance, comfort, and a sense of safety. This can help the client feel supported and may help reduce the intensity of the panic attack. Encouraging the client to watch television (A) may be too stimulating and distracting during a panic attack. Administering atomoxetine (C) is not appropriate as it is not indicated for immediate relief of panic attacks. Teaching the client how to meditate (D) may not be effective in the acute phase of a panic attack.
