A nurse tells a patient that they will return in 30 minutes with their medication. The nurse returns 30 minutes later with the patient's medication. Which ethical principle is she demonstrating?

A. To create a safe and healing environment for the client: Trauma-informed care (TIC) focuses on providing a supportive, safe, and empowering environment for clients who have experienced trauma. The goal is not to force resolution but to foster trust, autonomy, and recovery.

B. To repair and resolve the client's trauma: While healing may occur, TIC does not aim to "resolve" trauma directly. Instead, it emphasizes understanding the impact of trauma and reducing retraumatization.

C. To focus solely on the client's trauma history: TIC considers the trauma history but also focuses on the present needs, coping strategies, and overall well-being of the client. It does not exclusively dwell on past trauma.

D. To minimize the client's trauma manifestations: The goal is not to suppress trauma symptoms but to acknowledge them, provide appropriate care, and promote a sense of safety and control for the client.

A. An adult client is confined with physical restraints after throwing chairs at other clients and staff. Physical restraints are highly restrictive and should be used as a last resort when safety is at risk.

B. An adolescent is taken to a secure, quiet room after threatening and lashing out at other clients and staff. Seclusion is restrictive but less so than physical restraints; however, other interventions should be attempted first.

C. An 8-year-old child is asked to return to their room after yelling at other children during a group therapy session. This is the least restrictive intervention, as it involves verbal redirection rather than confinement or medication.

D. An adult client is given clozapine, an antipsychotic medication, after punching a wall with their fist and telling everyone that they intend to hurt them. Medication can be restrictive when used for behavior control rather than for medical necessity.
