Which intervention helps reduce dyspnea and anxiety in hospice clients?

  1. Administering anxiolytics

  2. Encouraging frequent naps

  3. Providing complete bed rest

  4. Using a high-flow oxygen mask

The correct answer is: Administering anxiolytics

Interventions such as encouraging frequent naps and providing complete bed rest may help alleviate physical symptoms that contribute to dyspnea and anxiety, but they do not directly address the underlying causes. Similarly, using a high-flow oxygen mask may provide temporary relief, but it is not as effective as administering anxiolytics which directly target and reduce anxiety in hospice clients. Administering anxiolytics can help ease both dyspnea and anxiety, making it the most effective intervention for reducing these symptoms in hospice care.
