An intramuscular dose of antipsychotic medication needs to be given to a patient who is becoming increasingly more aggressive. The patient is in the day room. Which intervention would be safest and most appropriate?
 
  a. Enter the day room and say, Would you like to come to your room and take some medication that your doctor has ordered for you?
  b. Take three staff members as backup and say, Please come to your room so I can give you some medication that will help you feel more comfortable..
  c. Take two male aides with you and tell the patient, You can come to your room willingly so I can give you this medicine, or we will have to take you there..
  d. Four staff should clear the room of patients, restrain the target patient, then administer the PRN medication and continue to hold him until he calms.
