Extract:
Question 1 of 5
An out-of-control client is verbally abusive and physically aggressive with staff members who are at increased risk for injury. Which intervention is most appropriate?
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.
