The ER (emergency room) staff experienced a violent client who had demanded pain medication and threatened the staff if he did not receive it. The ER nurse called the police, and the emergency room physician talked to the client in a calm manner.
 
  The physicians ploy to ask questions regarding the clients level and location of pain was an attempt to: 1. Distract the client.
  2. De-escalate the situation.
  3. Determine the clients real reason for seeking treatment.
  4. Assess the clients level of pain.
