A nurse is caring for a client who becomes agitated and verbally aggressive in a group setting. Which intervention is most appropriate to use as part of a behavioral management strategy?
Restrict the client from leaving the group setting until they stop being agitated.
Provide verbal education about appropriate behavior in the middle of their agitation.
Discipline the client to discourage further aggressive behavior.
Redirect the client to a calmer and less stimulating environment.
Redirecting the client to a less stimulating environment is an appropriate behavioral management technique. It addresses the client's agitation by minimizing external triggers and providing a calm space, which promotes emotional regulation. Other interventions, such as restricting the client from leaving the group or attempting to discipline them, may escalate the situation and are not considered evidence-based strategies for managing agitation. Educating about behavior is important but is better suited for a moment when the client is calm and receptive.
