Cevap
The correct actions are to verbally intervene to set clear limits, redirect the participant's focus back to the activity, and debrief the encounter privately with the nursing student afterward.
A therapeutic environment requires clear, consistent boundaries to ensure both physical and emotional safety. When a client violates these boundaries, the nurse must intervene promptly using the least restrictive measures possible. Verbally establishing clear limits and redirecting the client's attention to the ongoing activity are appropriate, non-restrictive first-line interventions. Additionally, a therapeutic milieu involves supporting the healthcare team; therefore, processing the event afterward with the student nurse is a crucial component of maintaining staff well-being and clinical development.
