Which of the following would be an appropriate response? 1. ?The unit has been so busy, I must allow for the nurses to have time to provide client care.?
2. ?The visitor hours have not been adjusted in years. It was time to change them.?
3. ?The physicians have requested limited visiting hours.?
4. ?The visiting hours allowed for added stress and commotion to the nursing staff.?

visitors are not required to check in when they enter can lead to increased violence.
