How would you handle a difficult patient that became verbally aggressive while you were treating them?

"If I were treating a patient and they became aggressive, I would first stop whatever exercises or therapy we were currently doing because they may be uncomfortable, and that is causing the behavior. I would then ask them why they are upset. From personal experience, I think it is very important to keep calm and not react aggressively to the patient. If they are unwilling to talk to me or do not want to tell me why they are upset, I would offer to come back to the room later and ask if another medical staff member could help them. "
