Speak to him and check if can be any help to de-stress him/her so that problem is solved. If not able to help solve the problem motivate him/her to tackle it so that mood changes and he/she is positive to face it and deal with it.

Try to avoid him/her when in that state. If you have to try to use communications methods other than face to face. If you have to do it, start with what you know might decrease the level of nervousness and go for it.

The employee should stop the nervous boss early.If the employee does not do so, the situation develops and up to a direct insults and personal insults, then the boss will consider himself a master and his staff are slaves.Employee not to do so during the bos nervous, in order not to worse the situation and increasingly complex, as they prefer to make the discussion at a later date after the boss become calm.

I noticed in most of the cases, nervousness comes from pressure. Soothing and offering to help is the best thing to calm the boss down. 

 

but keep in mind not to ask for a raise .
