Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The priority nursing diagnosis in this situation is identifying the risk for violence towards others as the student is exhibiting aggressive and accusatory behavior towards fellow students. The student's altered thought processes and social isolation are also concerns, but do not pose an immediate danger to others as the risk for violence does. The risk for self-directed violence is not mentioned in the scenario.
