A client is placed in five-point restraints after exhibiting sudden violence after illegal drug use, and haloperidol (Haldol) 5 mg IM is administered. After 1 hour, his behavior is more subdued, but he tells the nurse, "The devil followed me into this room, I see him standing in the corner with a big knife. When you leave the room, he’s going to cut out my heart." The nurse’s best response is:
A. "I know you’re feeling frightened right now, but I want you to know that I don’t see anyone in the corner."
B. "You’ll probably see strange things for a while until the PCP wears off."
C. "Try to sleep. When you wake up, the devil will be gone."
D. "You’re probably feeling guilty because you used illegal drugs tonight."
