Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Health care staff should be aware when and where to store health instruments that may be
used as weapons. The son should be informed of the clients condition, but with the history
and the escalation of his behavior the nurse should be prepared to protect himself and others.
Ignoring the son and limiting visitation may cause the violent behavior to escalate.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. Limiting visiting hours addresses one of the risk factors contributing to violence in health care.
Having an open door policy for visitors in which visiting hours are not restricted, and
visitors are not required to check in when they enter can lead to increased violence.
