Answer to Question 1

C
Behaviors that require the most immediate limit-setting are verbal and physical aggression, self-destructive behavior, fire setting, alcohol or drug use, manipulation, inappropriate sexual behaviors, and attempts to leave the hospital without consent. In this case the verbal aggression toward the roommate requires immediate intervention to prevent further escalation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Anger toward the nurse is often displaced anger that has arisen from some situation or significant person in the patient's life. Nurses feel the brunt of the anger because they are handy and might be considered by the patient to be a safe object for the displacement. Knowing that the nurse is not the true object of the anger allows the nurse to plan a therapeutic strategy for helping the individual manage the emotion. None of the other options provides an accurate basis for planning intervention.
