It is often useful to offer help in the form of food, drink or other aids and to conduct simple examinations. The calm, patient, understanding, confident and consequent verbal intervention is a key factor in such situations. In the case of extreme agitation the demonstration of power by summoning the available staff in itself prevents the escalation of the situation. Emergency medication might be necessary, but it is easier if the patient accepts one of the offered options.

Question 7

PSY - 2.10
In the treatment of acute agitation:
1) the aim is to control the aggressive behaviour and to preserve the good doctor-patient relationship
2) the first step is the psychosocial intervention (empathetic, non-oppositional, calm but confident, consequent and helpful)

The right verbal intervention is empathetic, non-oppositional, calm but confident, consequent and helpful. Meanwhile the cause should be assessed, whether the agitation is caused by a somatic condition, intoxication or primary mental disorder. This is followed by the appropriate the parenteral or oral therapy possibly in the form preferred by the patient.
