Which of the following foods are recommended for mania patients:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Mania, a feature of bipolar disorder, involves hyperactivity and impulsivity, affecting eating habits. Finger foods (choice A) are portable, easy to eat, and suit restless patients who may not sit for meals, providing nutrition without utensils. Liquid foods (choice B) are less practical for high-energy states, better for sedation or dysphagia. Semi-solid foods (choice C) require more effort, while favourite foods (choice D) may encourage intake but aren't specific to mania's needs. A is correct, as finger foods match the patient's behavior, ensuring caloric intake amidst agitation. Nurses must offer such foods, monitor lithium levels if prescribed, and adapt care to mood swings, supporting nutritional stability.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The initial tissue response to injury is transient vasoconstriction, lasting seconds to minutes, to reduce blood loss by narrowing vessels at the injury site. Immediate vasodilation (A) or transient vasodilation (D) occurs later in inflammation to increase blood flow and deliver immune cells, not initially. Immediate vasoconstriction (C) implies a sustained action, which doesn't fit the brief, temporary nature of this phase. Transient vasoconstriction (B) is followed by vasodilation in the inflammatory process, aligning with the body's hemostatic and healing sequence. This brief vessel narrowing minimizes hemorrhage before the inflammatory cascade begins, making B the precise and correct answer based on physiological response timing.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Nurse Irma lacks positive regard (B). Labeling Roger as 'that psychotic patient' dehumanizes him, showing judgment, not acceptance. Empathy (A) involves understanding feelings, not absent here. Comfortable sense of self (C) and self-awareness (D) relate to Irma's confidence and reflection, not her attitude toward Roger. Positive regard, per Rogers, requires unconditional acceptance, which Irma violates, prompting Aida's correction, making B correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Hello Mr. Tadle (C) is therapeutic, presenting reality gently identity and setting without confrontation. A corrects harshly, risking agitation. B reinforces delusion sarcastically. D probes the delusion, potentially escalating. C, per psychiatric nursing, reorients calmly, fostering trust, making it correct.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Allergy to iodine-based dye belongs in the Kardex (D), a quick-reference tool for staff, per nursing protocol. Chart pages (A, B) are less immediate, front plate (C) isn't standard. D ensures visibility, making it correct.
