Question 1 of 5

A nurse performed these actions while caring for patients in an inpatient psychiatric unit. Which action violated patients' rights?

A. Told a patient he can't wear his steel-tipped boots in the facility. B. Told a patient he can't call his family because he's calmed down too much. C. Told a patient he can't save his scheduled medication for later. D. Inspected a food basket addressed to a patient before giving it to the patient.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because telling a patient he can't call his family because he's calmed down too much violates the patient's right to communication and contact with their family. This action restricts the patient's autonomy and social connection, which are essential aspects of patient rights. Patients have the right to communicate with their families unless there are specific reasons for restriction, such as safety concerns.
For the other choices:
A: Telling a patient he can't wear steel-tipped boots is a safety measure to protect other patients and staff.
C: Telling a patient not to save scheduled medication ensures proper treatment adherence.
D: Inspecting a food basket for safety before giving it to a patient is a standard precaution in a healthcare setting.
