The ED nurse managing care for a client who has ingested PCP should create an environment for the client that is:
1. Challenging and educational
2. Active and stimulating
3. Simplified and safe
4. Like any room in the ED
ANS: 3
Since PCP is a hallucinogen, the nurse should not provide a challenging (option 1) environment or an active one (option 2). A room that is safer than the usual ED room would be best (option 3).
