Psy/531 Week 5 Sport Club Assignment

The guideline you found matches perfectly with your PICOT question. You did an amazing job on this journal club assignment. I honestly could not find anything wrong with your submission. The chosen guideline gave great recommendations on what staff should do if they are in a violent or aggressive situation. There was one statement that I thought was very important and something we should all remember as nurses. “Encourage service users to recognize their own triggers and early warning signs of violence and aggression and other vulnerabilities, and to discuss and negotiate their wishes should they become agitated” (National Guideline Clearinghouse, 2015). In my opinion, giving those in mental health options not only benefits patients, but staff
as well. If nurses have already discussed with a patient the best ways to manage their anger and agitation de-escalation will definitely occur at a quicker pace.
