The manner of anger expression is not the only important aspect of assessment. The difficulty in regulating the frequency and intensity of anger must also be assessed, along with the extent to which anger is creating problems in work or intimate relationships. The nurse should also assess for the presence (or absence) of coping techniques such as calming or diffusion through vigorous exercise.
