Answer to Question 1

C
Having the patient return to his room to write about his feelings, do deep-breathing or relaxation exercise, or talk about his emotions with a supportive person can help the patient regain control and lower feelings of tension and agitation. The responsibility of patient/milieu management is not one that may be delegated to ancillary staff.

Answer to Question 2
