Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
An introvert is a quiet individual who relates better to the inner world of ideas, thoughts, and feelings. He or she prefers to be a follower and usually lets other initiate and direct interactions. An extrovert is an outgoing person who relates more easily to people and things in the environment, likes to take charge of situations, and has little difficulty socializing.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Nursing staff and clinicians are experienced in assessing the client's potential for violence and have specific protocols to utilize when this occurs. The nurse should be familiar with these protocols. The nurse should neither try to confront the client nor create a disruption. Initiating any type of conversation when the client is confrontational would not be appropriate. Running from the room and yelling may cause increased agitation in this client. Telling the client that her behavior is unacceptable does not resolve the current situation. The most appropriate nursing action in this situation would be to leave the client's room and summon help.
