Mr. Li, a 63-year-old Chinese immigrant, is extremely agitated today. Which activity do you expect the licensed nurse will recommend?
  1. Competitive sports
  2. Bingo
  3. Trivial Pursuit
  4. Daily walks
Explanation
Answer: D - The licensed nurse will likely ask you to assist Mr. Lee with daily walks. In this manner, the client will be diverted from the hostile feelings and will be calmed down. Walking with the client signifies the patient care technician’s genuine interest and a willingness to listen to the client’s concerns, thoughts, and feelings. The other activities entail competition with other clients that could further aggravate the client’s agitation.
