Upon arrival to the unit, the client refuses to eat and drink and lays in bed facing the wall without moving or responding to the nurse. Which nursing action takes the highest priority? Approaching the client every hour to offer food and fluids. Talking about non-treatment related topics to build trust and rapport. Initiating one to one monitoring for safety. Assessing the client for fluid volume deficit. When evaluating outcomes for client with a diagnosis of psychosis being treated with haloperidol (Haldol), which symptoms would the nurse expect to see improvements in? Select all that apply.
