Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Inspect the client's personal belongings. Inspecting the client's personal belongings helps to ensure that the client does not have access to items that could be used for self-harm, such as sharp objects or medications. Assign the client to a private room. Assigning a client who has attempted suicide to a private room can increase isolation and the risk of self-harm, as they are not easily observed. Tuck bedcovers over client's hands and arms. This intervention is not effective and could potentially restrict the client's movement, increasing feelings of distress. Remove utensils from the client's meal trays. Removing utensils, especially sharp ones, from meal trays helps to prevent the client from using them to harm themselves.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Increased body temperature: Alcohol consumption typically causes vasodilation, which can lead to a decrease in body temperature, not an increase. Cardiac dysrhythmias: Large amounts of alcohol can affect the heart's electrical system, leading to cardiac dysrhythmias. Hypotension: Alcohol is a vasodilator, which can lead to a drop in blood pressure (hypotension). Bradycardia: Alcohol typically causes tachycardia (increased heart rate), not bradycardia (decreased heart rate).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Disulfiram will prevent my cravings for alcohol.' Disulfiram (Antabuse) is a medication that causes a severe adverse reaction when alcohol is consumed, acting as a deterrent. It does not prevent cravings for alcohol. 'One should expect hand tremors to start less than 24 hours after I stop drinking.' Hand tremors are one of the early signs of alcohol withdrawal and typically begin within 6 to 12 hours after the last drink. 'Withdrawal symptoms should last about 5 to 7 days once they begin.' Alcohol withdrawal symptoms usually peak within 24 to 48 hours and can last up to 72 hours, though some symptoms may persist longer in severe cases. 'It is important that I take Vitamin C to prevent liver cirrhosis or other liver damage.' While vitamin supplementation is important for overall health, taking Vitamin C does not specifically prevent liver cirrhosis or other liver damage.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Ignore the incident since it is an attention-seeking behavior: Ignoring the incident is not appropriate because the client may be in distress or at risk of harm. Stay with the group and ask another client to go and check on the situation: Asking another client to check on the situation is not appropriate, as it is the nurse's responsibility to ensure the safety of all clients. Follow the client to determine the cause of the behavior: Following the client allows the nurse to assess and intervene appropriately to ensure the client's safety and address the cause of the behavior. Ask the group what they think about the client's behavior: Discussing the behavior with the group is not appropriate in an emergency situation and does not address the immediate needs of the distressed client.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Atypical antipsychotic: Atypical antipsychotics can be used to manage severe aggression and agitation, especially in individuals with underlying psychiatric disorders. Hypnotic: Hypnotics are used for sleep disorders and are not indicated for managing aggression. Antipyretics: Antipyretics are used to reduce fever and are not relevant to treating aggression. Antabuse: Antabuse (disulfiram) is used to treat alcohol dependence and is not indicated for managing aggression.
