A patient with a long history of substance use disorder frequently manipulates staff to obtain extra medication doses. The most effective nursing intervention is to:

  • Confront the patient directly about their manipulative behavior.
  • Establish clear boundaries and consistently enforce unit rules.
  • Allow the patient some flexibility to build trust.
  • Document the behavior and report it to the physician only.
