Answer to Question 1

2
The most common problems are the environment, the care provider, and the client.

Answer to Question 2

B
Getting the patient's attention is fundamental to intervention. The nurse should make eye contact and smile while repeating the patient's name until the patient focuses on the nurse. Once the nurse has the patient's attention, gently touching the patient in a reassuring manner could be appropriate. Striking out usually signals fear or that the patient perceives the environment to be out of control; approaching from behind would startle the patient and increase her fearfulness, increasing the risk of acting out violently.
