Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Threats or demands are verbal cues that indicate potential for violence. Crying is not a violence risk factor. Pacing and exhibiting clenched fists and jaws are behavioral, not verbal, cues of risk for violence. Nothing in the client's statement of concern about others' fears is indicative of impending violence.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Aggression is a physical or verbal threat that reflects rage, hostility, and potential for physical or verbal destructiveness. Aggressive behavior violates the rights of others. Pacing and singing are disruptive to others but do not violate anyone else's rights. Refusing to take medication and treatment noncompliance could arise for a multitude of reasons and is not necessarily driven by aggression. Crying does not reflect any threat or violation of others' rights.
