Psychobiological Disorder Questions
Question 1 of 5
When a client suddenly becomes aggressive and violent on the unit, which of the following approaches would be best for the nurse to use first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct approach is to call for sufficient help first (choice C) because it prioritizes safety for both the client and staff. By calling for help, the nurse can ensure that there are enough resources to safely manage the aggressive behavior and prevent harm. This approach allows for a team effort in de-escalating the situation and controlling it effectively. Providing large motor activities (choice A) may not be appropriate during an aggressive outburst as it can escalate the situation. Administering medication (choice B) should not be the first response as it does not address the underlying cause of the aggression. Conveying to the client that their behavior is unacceptable (choice D) may further agitate the client and is not likely to de-escalate the situation effectively.
