Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Atypical antipsychotic: Atypical antipsychotics can be used to manage severe aggression and agitation, especially in individuals with underlying psychiatric disorders. Hypnotic: Hypnotics are used for sleep disorders and are not indicated for managing aggression. Antipyretics: Antipyretics are used to reduce fever and are not relevant to treating aggression. Antabuse: Antabuse (disulfiram) is used to treat alcohol dependence and is not indicated for managing aggression.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Share findings with other caregivers. Sharing information with other caregivers is important for continuity of care but is not a direct intervention for managing anger and aggression. Set limits on client behaviors. Setting limits on behavior is necessary, but it should be done within the context of a trusting relationship. Establish and maintain a trusting relationship: Building a trusting relationship is the foundation for effective therapeutic interventions, including managing anger and aggression. Offer prn medication: Offering prn medication can help manage symptoms but should be part of a broader therapeutic strategy.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Take a time-out: A time-out is generally used for de-escalating situations in less severe cases and may not be effective if the client is already physically aggressive and a risk to staff. Administer oral medication: Administering oral medication can help to calm the client, but it may not be immediately effective if the client is already aggressive and out of control. Call a family member or friend: Calling a family member or friend may provide emotional support, but it is not a direct intervention to address immediate physical aggression. Apply restraints: When a client is physically aggressive and poses a risk of injury to themselves or others, applying restraints may be necessary to ensure safety. This should be done following proper protocols and as a last resort.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Planning to give his CD collection to his girlfriend: Giving away prized possessions is a common warning sign of suicidal intent, indicating that the person is preparing for their absence. Preferring to eat his meals while watching TV: This behavior is relatively normal and does not necessarily indicate suicidal intent. Stating that he wants to be with his peers more than with his parents: Wanting to spend time with peers is typical for adolescents and does not specifically indicate suicidal intent. Telling his parents that he doesn't want to talk about the attempt: Not wanting to discuss the attempt could be due to embarrassment, guilt, or other reasons, but it is not as direct an indicator of ongoing suicidal intent as giving away possessions.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Facilitate time alone for the client. Allowing time alone is not appropriate for a suicidal client as it increases the risk of self-harm. Make a no self-harm contract. A no self-harm contract can be part of a suicide prevention plan, where the client agrees to not harm themselves and to seek help if they feel the urge to do so. Administer antianxiety medication: While medication can help with anxiety, it is not a primary intervention for immediate suicide prevention. Prevent family/friend visitation for 48 hours: Preventing visitation can increase feelings of isolation and is not an appropriate intervention for suicide prevention.
