Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has become violent and is threatening self-harm following a crisis. After ensuring enough staff are available,which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Acknowledge the client's emotions. This is the first action the nurse should take because it helps establish rapport and build trust with the client in a crisis situation. Acknowledging the client's emotions shows empathy and validates their feelings, which can help de-escalate the situation. Administering a sedative (choice
A) should not be the first action as it may escalate the client's aggression. Performing a debriefing (choice
B) can wait until the immediate crisis is under control. Placing the client in restraints (choice
D) should be a last resort and only used when the client or others are in immediate danger.
