1. Work settings should address the need for staff to debrief after difficult interactions and interventions. Staff meetings and educational sessions do not necessarily address the need to debrief. A medical record review may be appropriate for all the staff after an encounter with a patient who is aggressive and angry; however, this is not the best immediate response from the nurse manager.
