Answer to Question 1

D
Distraction or a quieter environment at the first signs of agitation would be an appropriate intervention. The individual is most likely experiencing a catastrophic reaction, which is a severe overreaction out of proportion to the initial stimulus. In such cases, distraction and removing the client from the stimulus may be appropriate. However, this intervention may not always be effective with all clients experiencing a catastrophic reaction.

Answer to Question 2

B
