Which of these patients is correctly matched with the proper therapeutic environment?

A therapeutic environment is one in which a patient’s spoken and unspoken needs are met, proper safety precautions and measures are taken, and all extraneous stressors and stimuli are removed. A therapeutic environment should help patients better adapt to their surroundings and provide all the necessary components that encourage and support a full recovery. An angry, intoxicated patient should not be placed with other patients as a safety concern. Restraints may be necessary to keep the patient from wandering and/or hurting themselves or others. Manic patients need less stimulatory environments and depressed ones should have more stimulation. Patients that require close monitoring, such as those with suicidal ideation, should be as close to the nurses’ station as possible.
