Answer to Question 2

B
Despite the fact that everything that could be done in each violent event was done, the staff members are still experiencing high levels of stress more often. If feasible, the nurse will provide ways to manage the staff's higher level of stress during this time. The only selection that offers an avenue for immediate stress management is scheduling frequent breaks.
