Answer to Question 1

B
Efforts to ensure the safety of others when a client is agitated and aggressive toward others include such interventions as seclusion. Seclusion is putting someone in a usually empty or padded room or cell by him- or herself. This form of treatment is used to prevent imminent harm to self and others and is a less-restrictive approach than use of restraints.

Answer to Question 2

C
Psychiatric liaison nursing is more focused on assisting the health care providers, while the other three options focus on services provided to the patient as an individual. The psychiatric liaison nurse serves as a consultant for health care providers. He or she focuses on encouraging tolerance among members of the nursing staff, as well as promoting and developing the professional self-esteem of the nurses.
