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
C
Rationale
Your behavior will be disappointing to your provider.' focuses on the providerÔÇÖs feelings, not addressing the behavior. 'IÔÇÖm taking away your privileges for the rest of the week.' is punitive and doesnÔÇÖt address the issue immediately. 'Yelling at others is unacceptable.' directly addresses the behavior and sets a boundary. 'Why did you hit another client?' assumes an action not observed and could escalate the situation.
