The nurse should determine that the purpose for holding a debriefing session with clients and staff after clients have witnessed a peer being taken down after a violent outburst is to process feelings and concerns related to the witnessed intervention.

Answer to Question 2

The nurse should assess that tense facial expressions and body language may indicate that a client's anger is escalating. The nurse should conduct a thorough assessment of the client's past and current violent behaviors and develop interventions for de-escalation.
