This statement by the nurse effectively communicates consequences for the client's refusal to comply with unit rules, which can be an effective strategy for managing behavior in a residential program. Option A might be helpful, but it doesn't address the immediate situation of the client pushing a staff member. Option B might lead to a power struggle and resistance from the client. Option C allows the client to avoid participation, which is not helpful in addressing the behavior issue.
