Answer 1

Correct answer: option b

Rational:

1. For a aggressive client we have to know the reason for behaviors, so we have to tell the patient to list out the things that make him angry. So option b is correct.

2. Option a: role model is the next step of intervention. After finding reasons for angry.

3. Option c: its unrelated action. So its incorrect.

4. Option d: it also incorrect. Once we found reason for angry then we can assist the patient to reduces the stress.
