Answer 1

Answer:

C) Let's go to the conference room and talk for a while.

Explanation:

The best option is to take the client out of the dayroom and take him to a quiet room where the client can relax and not be stimulated. By taking the client out of the dayroom and into the conference room, the nurse will be able to have the attention of the person to talk to him and, at the same time, help the client to relax.
