>>Done with Introductions - Consider Scott's past behavior

As you introduce yourself to Scott you think about how Scott behaved in the emergency department. You recall that he was agitated and mad that he was required to stay in hospital for further assessment. You read in his chart that he was swearing and shoved a nurse. 

As a result, you stand near the door while you assess Scott's level of engagement.

Which statements by a patient indicate an increased likelihood of violent behavior?

  • A. "People push me, but they can only push me so far.”
  • B. "I have a right to feel angry, and right now I am angry.”
  • C. "You are really stupid. I’d get better nursing care from a monkey.”
  • D. "A man has to do what a man has to do when somebody crosses him.”
  • E. "This is frustrating; I wish people would leave me alone. That’s what would help me right now.”
