An intoxicated client is brought to the emergency department by local police. The client is told that the primary health care provider (PHCP) will be in to see the client in about 30 minutes. The client becomes very loud and offensive and wants to be seen by the PHCP immediately. The nurse assisting to care for the client should take which appropriate nursing intervention?

1. Watch the behavior escalate before intervening. 2. Attempt to talk with the client to de-escalate the behavior. 3. Offer to take the client to an examination room until he or she can be treated. 4. Inform the client that he or she will be asked to leave if the behavior continues.
