Use a face shield with a mask when providing care to the client.<\/strong><br>Using a face shield and mask is a protective measure but does not address the client&#8217;s emotional state or agitation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. Tell the client, \u201cYou seem to be very upset.\u201d<\/strong><br>This approach demonstrates empathy and acknowledgment of the client&#8217;s feelings, which can help de-escalate the situation. It shows the nurse is attentive and concerned about the client&#8217;s emotional state, which can help build rapport and trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Initiate seclusion protocol<\/strong><br>Initiating seclusion should be a last resort and is only appropriate if the client poses an imminent threat to themselves or others. It is important to first attempt de-escalation techniques before considering more restrictive measures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, acknowledging the client&#8217;s feelings with a statement like \u201cYou seem to be very upset\u201d is a key de-escalation strategy and helps in managing the situation effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about caring for clients in the emergency department.
