How is a combative resident characterized?

  1. Quiet and compliant

  2. Aggressively violent

  3. Talkative and friendly

  4. Respectful and helpful

The correct answer is: Aggressively violent

A combative resident is characterized by being aggressively violent. This means they have a tendency to act out aggressively and potentially cause harm to themselves or others. Option A is incorrect because a combative resident is the opposite of quiet and compliant. Option C is also incorrect because a combative resident is not likely to be talkative and friendly. Option D is incorrect because a combative resident is not likely to be respectful and helpful. The key is to recognize that a combative resident is someone who displays aggressive and potentially violent behavior.
