Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

"A. Identify one nurse to interact with the client  B. Pull the fire alarm to obtain help quickly  C. Direct other clients away from the area  D. Speak to the client in an authoritarian manner  E. Discreetly notify security to assist  F. Identify with the client's position and reason for agitation"

Answer:

A. Identify one nurse to interact with the client

C. Direct other clients away from the area

E. Discreetly notify security to assist

F. Identify with the client's position and reason for agitation

Explanation:

First, the nursing team must remain calm and understand that the client is in a situation of stress and possibly mental exhaustion, for this reason, the nursing team must act quickly and maintain the integrity of everyone.

Ideally, first, only one nurse should be chosen to interact with the client, as a tumultuous environment can increase stress. For this reason it is also important to remove other patients from the area, preventing them from getting hurt.

The nurse chosen to interact with the patient must ask what he is feeling, to understand the situation, what is bothering him and the patient and think of a better strategy on how to solve this problem.

The rest of the nursing staff should call the security team to assist, if necessary.

(This is only my opinion by the way, so you can change anything you want)
I think that Amy should stay out of it personally, but find a way to report the doctor for bringing his religious beliefs into his MEDICAL job. It seems like it would be her responsibility as a proffesional to make sure the patient gets to do what she thinks is right. Dr. Williams shouldn't have to tell his patients about his religious beliefs, because it shouldn't matter in a MEDICAL practice. There is both an ethical and legal problem with his action. A patient should get to make their own choices unless they want to endanger themsleves or others. That is wrong ethically that he took away someone's control over that choice. Opinions and beliefs shouldn't come into this kind of thing. Legally, it is wrong for the same reason. He has no right to do that unless someone's health is at risk.
