A patient who was responding to auditory hallucinations earlier in the morning now approaches the nurse shaking a fist and shouts, Back off and then goes to the day room. While following the patient into the day room, the nurse should:
 
  a. make sure there is adequate physical space between the nurse and patient.
  b. move into a position that places the patient close to the door.
  c. maintain one arm's-length distance from the patient.
  d. begin talking to the patient about appropriate behavior.
