The nurse is observing several patients who are in the activity room of the inpatient psychiatric facility. The nurse notices that one of the patients begins to get upset, raising her voice, pacing the room, and standing with clenched fists. What is the nurse's priority action?
1. Reorient the patient to person, place, and time.
2. Remove other patients from the room to provide more space.
3. Call the health care provider to obtain an order for anti-anxiety medication.
4. Call security and promptly isolate the patient and apply physical restraints.
