I think that you should ask her doctor for medication to relieve his agitation, like Haldol etc.

The management of this patient depends on the hospital policy and the doctor's orders. It's up to the Nurse to report this event to the doctor. It's not up to you or up to your discretion. Get a doctor's order for a PRN medication.
