Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using clear, calm statements and maintaining a confident physical stance is the most appropriate nursing intervention for a client with Paranoid Personality Disorder who becomes violent. This approach helps to prevent escalating the situation and avoids reinforcing paranoid beliefs. Providing objective evidence or empathizing with the client's paranoia may not be effective in calming the client down, and initially restraining the client may escalate the situation further.
