Question 1 of 5

A client who has been newly admitted to the mental health unit with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder is trying to organize a dance with the other clients on the unit at suppertime. The nurse should encourage which action to decrease stimulation with the clients?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Because the client with bipolar disorder is easily stimulated by the environment, sedentary activities are the best outlets for energy release. Most bipolar clients enjoy writing, so the writing task is appropriate. An activity such as planning a dance at suppertime may be appropriate at some point, but not for the newly admitted client who is likely to have impaired judgment and a short attention span. Options 1 and 2 encourage planning the activity, and therefore increase client stimulation. Option 3 could result in an angry outburst by the client.
