A hospital client’s medical status is stable, but their aggressive behavior has not decreased despite the health care team’s repeated attempts at de-escalation. The decision has been made to place the client in seclusion for their safety and that of the health care team. The nurse should prioritize what action?

Provide continuous observation while the client remains in protective seclusion. Complete a critical incident report documenting the client’s behavior and the rationale for seclusion.
