The correct answer is C; Children who have a history of repeated, self-limited, severe tantrums require at least a 72-hour admission.

Further Explanation:

The child should be admitted for a 72 hour hold and be admitted into the hospital for their own safety. Since the child is violent and is prone to enraged behavior the child will need to be monitored.

When a child or adult is acute, they need to be admitted so that they can receive mental health treatment. This treatment may include medications and group therapy. Once the child has been calmed down, they can then speak to the doctor on the unit.
