Simulated
A nurse enters the community room of an acute mental health unit and observes a client yelling at another client. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to the client?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Addressing the behavior directly by stating that yelling is unacceptable sets a clear expectation for conduct without escalating the situation. Assuming physical violence, imposing immediate punishment, or referencing disappointment from others could escalate tensions or fail to address the immediate issue constructively.
