A client with a history of frequent outbursts and fighting has been receiving treatment to help control emotions and anger. The nurse realizes that the treatment has been successful when the client states:
1. "Hitting people is only justified sometimes.".
2. "There are other ways to deal with anger, and I will use them instead of fighting.".
3. "My brothers are the only ones who I can fight with and not get in trouble.".
4. "As long as my mother doesn't hit me first, I will not hit her.".
2. "There are other ways to deal with anger, and I will use them instead of fighting.".
Rationale:
A client with a history of frequent outbursts and fighting would demonstrate improvement with interventions by stating that the client will use other ways to deal with anger instead of fighting. Hitting people is never justified. The client should not plan to fight with his brothers. The client should not plan to hit his mother. These are evidence that interventions have not been effective.
