A nurse is assisting with a presentation about types of aggression to a group of residents at a community outreach center. One of the attendees states, "I keep seeing the same person outside my apartment and they are leaving me items at my door." Which of the following types of aggression should the nurse identify the client is experiencing?

A. Identification phase. In this phase, the nurse and client begin to build a therapeutic relationship and establish trust. The focus is on identifying the client's needs and concerns rather than actively engaging in therapeutic interventions like guided therapy.
B. Exploitation phase. During the exploitation phase, the nurse encourages the client to utilize the resources and therapeutic interventions available to them. This is an appropriate time to suggest guided therapy sessions, as the client is actively engaged in exploring their issues and working toward improvement.
C. Resolution phase. The resolution phase involves evaluating the progress made and preparing for the termination of the nurse-client relationship. It is not the appropriate time to introduce new therapeutic modalities, as the focus shifts to consolidating gains and planning for future support.
D. Orientation phase. The orientation phase establishes the groundwork for the therapeutic relationship, including discussing goals and expectations. While important, it is not the phase where guided therapy sessions would typically be suggested, as the relationship is still in its initial stages.

A. "A family member took me fishing several times when I was a kid." This statement reflects a positive memory of a family activity and does not contribute to understanding aggressive behavior.
B. "My parent used their fists to hit me as a child." This statement indicates a history of physical abuse in childhood, which can be a significant contributing factor to aggressive behavior in adulthood. Experiencing violence in the home can lead to the normalization of aggression as a means of resolving conflict or expressing emotions.
C. "My parent was physically abused as a child." While this statement indicates a cycle of violence, it does not directly reflect the client's own experiences that may contribute to their aggressive behavior. It may suggest a learned behavior pattern, but it is less direct than the client's personal experience of being abused.
D. "I drink a glass of wine occasionally with dinner." This statement about moderate alcohol consumption does not inherently indicate a risk factor for aggression. While substance use can contribute to aggressive behavior in some individuals, occasional drinking with meals is generally not considered a significant risk factor on its own.
