Ans: B Feedback: Bandura developed his ideas after being concerned about violence on television contributing to aggression in children. He believes that important behaviors are learned by internalizing the behaviors of others. His initial contribution was identifying the process of modeling: pervasive imitation, or one person trying to be similar to another. Erickson identified eight stages of psychosocial development. Skinner proposed that if a behavior is reinforced or rewarded, the behavior will probably be repeated. Freud's psychoanalytic model identified the human mind as composed of conscious and unconscious mental processes.

A client is being discharged from the psychiatric unit this afternoon, and a nurse needs to teach the client about discharge medications.

A) When his anxiety stabilizes at its current level B) When his anxiety decreases to a mild level C) When he is completely free of anxiety D) When his anxiety escalates to the panic level

Severe anxiety interferes with learning. Anxiety should be relieved as much as possible, but it would be unrealistic to expect that the client would become completely free of anxiety.
