A client lost control of his behavior, broke a window, and made verbal threats to staff and other clients. The client was placed in mechanical restraints. The nurse will explain the reason for restraints to the client by saying:
 
  A) The length of time you'll be in restraints is undetermined.
  B) The staff will monitor your behavior closely.
  C) This is what happens when you lose control.
  D) This is a means of keeping you and others safe.

Question 2

Persons with a mental illness and a substance abuse problem need to be treated using a stage-wise approach. One of the initial things staff can do to effectively initiate this treatment approach is to:
 
  A) Provide a series of short-term hospitalizations that apply leverage to pressure the client into adhering to a prescribed treatment regimen.
  B) Establish rules that will enhance the client's recognition of staff as authority figures who know what is best for the client's care and well-being.
  C) Use heavy confrontation, intense emotional pressure, and discouragement of the use of medications since all medications have the potential to be addictive.
  D) Provide immediate help with a situational crisis the client is experiencing to promote trust in the client and have the client buy into the treatment process.
