Answer to Question 1

D
Regardless of the situation, the fundamental principle underlying all interventions with agitated, escalating, hostile, aggressive, or violent patients is to use the least restrictive measure that will provide for the safety of everyone involved. The other options either should not guide practice or are of secondary importance.
