  a. understand that psychiatric clients often feel abused.
  b. listen and wait to see if the client continues to report the abuse.
  c. confront the residence aide with the client's allegations.
  d. report the client's comments to the protection and advocacy agency.

ANS: D
Nurses must advocate for the client's right to nonabusive treatment. Reporting to a protection and
advocacy agency is the ethical duty of the nurse. Options A and B do nothing to investigate and
resolve the situation. Option C: The investigation is best conducted by skilled professionals trained
to investigate such allegations.
