Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Confronting an agitated client should be done in a problem-solving manner, where the therapist acknowledges the client's feelings and concerns and tries to work with them to find a solution. Avoiding the issue or trying to assert authority over the client (option B) is not effective, and ignoring or giving in to the client's agitation (option A or D) can lead to further escalation of the situation.
