Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Conducting a debriefing regarding the client with the unit staff is essential in ensuring continuity of care, discussing the client's behavior, potential triggers, and strategies for de-escalation. This promotes a collaborative approach and enhances staff awareness to prevent future aggressive behaviors. It also allows for sharing insights and improving the care plan.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Documenting the client's behavior once every hour is important for monitoring, but it does not address the need for a debriefing or evaluation.
B: Keeping the client in restraints until the prescription expires is not appropriate as restraints should be used for the shortest duration necessary and reevaluated regularly.
D: Requesting an evaluation of the client within 12 hours of restraint application is important, but it does not address the immediate need for debriefing and collaboration with unit staff.
