A client on the psychiatric unit is in an uncontrolled rage and is threatening other clients and staff. Which of the following personnel can legally place the client in seclusion?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Only a registered nurse or higher (e.g., physician) can legally initiate seclusion due to the need for clinical judgment. LPNs, orderlies, and security lack this authority.
