Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Distraction with a quiet activity and with interpersonal contact frequently distracts the patient and allows the nurse to regain control.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The current Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) prohibits the use of antipsychotic drugs to control nonaggressive behavior. However, antipsychotic drugs may be prescribed for the control of constant yelling and hitting others.
