Cevap
The nurse should establish a behavioral contract, redirect the client to a quiet area during escalation, and schedule regular one-on-one interactions.
Maintaining a therapeutic environment when a client is highly disruptive requires a multifaceted approach. Establishing a behavioral contract provides clear, objective boundaries. Redirecting an escalating client is a safe, immediate, and least-restrictive way to protect the milieu. Scheduling brief, regular interactions provides the client with positive attention, reducing their need to act out to gain the nurse's focus.
