TY - JOUR PY - 1981// TI - The disruptive patient or visitor JO - JAMA journal of the American Medical Association A1 - Perry, S. W. A1 - Gilmore, M. M. SP - 755 EP - 757 VL - 245 IS - 7 N2 - A disruptive patient or visitor can be managed by a four-person team under the direction of a single leader. When the disruptive person is subdued and transported to a separate room for evaluation, a brief examination is recommended before medication. If medication is found necessary, haloperidol is the drug of choice. A patient can be treated without consent if a court has determined that the patient is incompetent to make such a decision.
