Answer to Question 1

A
When dealing with a patient who is escalating, the nurse initially assesses the patient's ability to use self-control and to respond to verbal cues. Speaking in a calm, soft voice and calling the patient by his or her formal title (unless the patient has insisted on being called by a first name), the nurse attempts to deescalate the patient by engaging him or her in a conversation that allows the expression of concerns. The remaining options either appear to threaten the client or have the nurse determine the topic of the conversation rather than focusing on the client's concerns.

Answer to Question 2

A
Nurses who advocate for consumer empowerment for patients with mental health disorders assist patients in achieving a sense of personal responsibility, in collaborating with health professionals to determine their treatment plans, in being respected for the legitimacy of their points of view, and in using resources from the entire community rather than just the formal mental health system.
