参考答案: B

参考解析: A client with panic disorder typically confines movements to increasingly smaller areas to avoid confronting fears, which may dominate her life and limit everyday activities. The overall goal of care is to help the client function within her environment as effectively as possible. Panic disorder with agoraphobia doesn't impair ability to perform self-care activities. Controlling symptoms isn't the overall goal; furthermore, helping the client function effectively will help control symptoms. Although participation in group therapy may help the client control symptoms, encouraging such participation isn't the overall goal of nursing care.
