title: Managing aggressive behavior.
abstract: Staff often have excellent approaches to reduce, defuse or even eliminate aggressive responses to caregiving. However, unless these ideas are pulled together in an organized way to produce consistent care, the problem of aggression will continue (Banazak, 1996). Once the care plan is in place, it is important to evaluate and fine tune it regularly through team meetings. All members of the team should be considered as resources in managing this most difficult care dilemma.
