Question 1 of 5
The nurse notes that a client with a history of self-mutilation has increased body tension and is pacing in the hallway. Which nursing intervention is most important at this time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Alerting staff to monitor the client closely addresses the immediate risk of self-harm indicated by increased tension and pacing. Time alone may increase risk. Setting expectations is important but not immediate. Room searches are preventive but not the priority during acute distress.
