The Staff Observes That a Young Male Manifests Oppositional Behavior

The staff observes that a young male manifests oppositional behavior when he interacts with male staff. He has recently been placed in the custody of his father, since his mother has been deployed in the military. The client told the nurse that his mother relied on him a lot when he lived with her.

Identify the appropriate interventions for the client when he feels oppositional toward the staff.

A) Encourage the client to "take five to revive."
B) Provide opportunities for the client to get to know the staff.
C) Ask the client if he is upset.
