Question 1 of 5

Which client would the nurse address first on an adolescent inpatient unit?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because verbal abuse poses an immediate risk to the safety and well-being of others. Addressing this behavior first is crucial to ensure a safe therapeutic environment. The other choices, A, C, and D, do not pose an immediate threat to others' safety. Client A's behavior, although inappropriate, is not directly harmful to others. Client C's demand for attention may be disruptive but does not present an immediate safety concern. Client D's history of self-mutilation is concerning but does not indicate an immediate risk to others on the unit. Prioritizing the client diagnosed with conduct disorder who is verbally abusing a peer addresses the most urgent situation.
