![Page 15: Psychosocial Interventions Grad C. Green, MSN, APRN, BC Assistant Clinical Professor Department of Mental Health University of California, San Francisco](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd55503460f9499c46c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Interaction with an Agitated Patient
• Verbal interaction takes time
• Haste and urgency by the physician or nurse intensifies the patient’s sense of isolation, anxiety, withdrawal, and feeling of helplessness
• You must be able to shift your pace of work when interacting with a hostile or agitated patient – for your safety especially
![Page 16: Psychosocial Interventions Grad C. Green, MSN, APRN, BC Assistant Clinical Professor Department of Mental Health University of California, San Francisco](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd55503460f9499c46c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Building a Relationship
• Ask the patient what is wrong
• Ask what the patient thinks would help– Doesn’t matter whether you disagree– Convey interest, flexibility
• Try to respect any request, at least in token
• Inform the patient of your understanding– Allow them to respond, acknowledge
differences

Building a Relationship
• Offer at least some reasonable choices directed at their comfort, sense of autonomy– “Would you like a blanket over you?”– “Is there a medicine you would prefer?”– “Would you like the lights dimmed or go
to a quiet area?”
• If unengageable, proxy decision maker– Consider what the patient might choose
![Page 18: Psychosocial Interventions Grad C. Green, MSN, APRN, BC Assistant Clinical Professor Department of Mental Health University of California, San Francisco](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd55503460f9499c46c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Interaction with an Agitated Patient
• Offer food or drink to facilitate rapport– A patient is unlikely to become assaultive
toward someone who has fed him
• Safety in numbers– Do not interview in a room alone with an
agitated patient– Have staff nearby or be in view of others
