recently admitted to a long-term care centre following a cerebrovascular
accident (CVA), sees her husband walking hand-in-hand with another
female client and shouts at him to stop his inappropriate behavior, the
practical nurse should respond by:
1. *Invite Mrs. Hazel Into the Family Care Room to Discuss the Issue and
Her Concerns*: This approach provides a private and supportive
environment for Mrs. Hazel to express her feelings and concerns. It
allows the practical nurse to listen empathetically, provide information
about Mr. Hazel's condition and behavior, and discuss appropriate ways
to address the situation.
The other options may not be as effective or appropriate:
B) Approach Mr. Hazel and Redirect His New Female Friend to Another
Area of the Unit - While it may be necessary to redirect Mr. Hazel and the
,other client to ensure their safety and comfort, this action alone does not
address Mrs. Hazel's concerns or provide her with the support she needs.
C) Apologize to Mrs. Hazel and Promise That It Will Not Happen in the
Future - Apologizing may be part of the response, but making promises
about future behavior without a plan to address the underlying issues is
not sufficient. It is important to work with Mrs. Hazel to develop a plan
that addresses her concerns and supports Mr. Hazel's needs.
D) Advise Mrs. Hazel That Shouting Is Inappropriate and Is Upsetting the
Other Clients - While it is important to maintain a calm and respectful
environment, addressing Mrs. Hazel's behavior without acknowledging
her feelings and concerns may alienate her and fail to provide the
support she needs.

admitted to a long-term care centre following a cerebrovascular
accident (CVA), is tired and angrily refuses his morning care, the practical
nurse should:
1. *Allow Mr. Hazel to Sleep and Assist with His Care When He Awakes*:

agitation and aggressive behavior. It is important to approach care in a
manner that is considerate of the client's physical and emotional state.
The other options may not be as appropriate or effective:
B) Advise the Colleague to Speak Louder and Slower to Ensure That Mr.
Hazel Understands - While clear communication is important, speaking
