In CILA settings, what should be prioritized during the action plan for a resident displaying aggressive behaviors?

Prioritizing the established behavior support plan is essential when addressing aggressive behaviors in a resident within Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILA). This plan is specifically designed to address the unique needs of the individual while providing strategies to manage and reduce aggressive behaviors.

The behavior support plan incorporates individualized approaches based on the resident's history, triggers, and previous responses to similar situations. By following this established plan, staff members ensure consistency in the intervention strategies used, which is crucial for reinforcing positive behaviors and de-escalating situations effectively.

The other options, while they might have their own merits in certain contexts, do not take precedence in the immediate need to address aggressive behaviors. Introducing new rewarding systems may disrupt the consistency required by the behavior support plan. Increasing physical activity could be beneficial, but if not linked to the specific strategies outlined in the support plan, it might not effectively contribute to managing aggression. Limiting social interaction could further isolate the resident and potentially exacerbate feelings of frustration or aggression.

In summary, adherence to the established behavior support plan is the most appropriate and effective course of action for managing aggressive behaviors within CILA settings, ensuring that interventions are both targeted and consistent.
