During the admission process, a client with symptoms of manic behavior has pressured speech punctuated with profanity. what is the most therapeutic approach for the nurse to use to manage this client's behavior?

There are choices for this question namely:

a. Thoroughly explaining the type of behavior allowed in the facility

b. Encouraging interaction with another client who is exhibiting similar behavior.

c. Quietly stating that the use of profanity is unbecoming and will not be tolerated

d. Allowing for the expression of hostility in a safe manner without being judgmental

The correct answer is "allowing the expression of hostility in a safe manner without being judgmental". In this kind of approach, the health practitioner offer catharsis and allows the patient to express himself but moderates the event so that other people within the radius, whether patients or other healthcare practitioners, are undisturbed by the behavior. This approach will show acceptance despite the patient's condition as well as protection of other individuals.
