Which is an effective nursing intervention to assist an angry patient to learn to manage anger without violence?

A) Help the patient identify a thought that increases anger, find proof for or against the belief, and substitute reality-based thinking.
B) Provide negative reinforcement such as restraint or seclusion in response to angry outbursts, whether or not violence is present.
C) Use aversive conditioning, such as popping a rubber band on the wrist, to help extinguish angry feelings.
D) Administer an antipsychotic or antianxiety medication when the patient feels angry.
