ATI Mental Health Exam III | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because asking an 8-year-old child to return to their room after yelling at other children during a group therapy session is the least restrictive alternative among the choices. This option allows the child to calm down and refocus without using physical restraints, isolation, or medication. It promotes positive behavior management techniques and respects the child's autonomy.


Choice A is incorrect because confining an adult client with physical restraints is a highly restrictive measure that limits their freedom and movement.
Choice B is also incorrect as placing an adolescent in a secure, quiet room can be considered restrictive and isolating.
Choice D is incorrect because giving an adult client antipsychotic medication after aggressive behavior may not address the root cause of the behavior and can have potential side effects.
