The state of being restless or troubled. Extreme emotional disturbance.

• A. Aging Process
• B. Agitation
• C. Admission
• D. Admitting Resident

Answer: (B)

Agitation means being restless and emotionally unsettled, often with visible distress or disturbance. That exact description fits the term agitation, which captures both the restlessness and the strong emotional reaction described.

The other terms don’t match the idea: aging process is about getting older, and admission or admitting resident are administrative steps in starting care. In a care setting, recognizing agitation is important because it can signal underlying needs or discomfort—pain, thirst, hunger, bathroom needs, weather or noise sensitivity, or medication effects. A calm, supportive approach, checking for triggers, ensuring safety, and involving a nurse for further assessment are appropriate responses.
