Question 4 of 5
Which of the following actions is the best example of aggressive behavior?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Telling the medication nurse, 'I am not going to take that, or any other, medication you try to give me' can be considered an aggressive behavior. This statement shows a refusal to cooperate and a confrontational attitude, which are characteristics of aggressive behavior. Walking away to take a tray is not inherently aggressive; it could be a neutral action. Expressing anger assertively is not aggressive but rather a healthy communication of feelings. Crying and withdrawing reflect emotional distress, not aggression.

A patient has been admitted due to severe depression. What symptoms should the nurse anticipate during the assessment?
