Question 1 of 5
A client who has bipolar disorder states,I feel like Superman. I can do anything. I can fly home today and then become a U.S. Senator. Which of the following findings is this client exhibiting?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Grandiosity. The client's statement of feeling like Superman and believing they can do anything, such as flying home and becoming a U.S. Senator, reflects grandiosity, a symptom commonly seen in bipolar disorder's manic phase. Grandiosity is characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, power, and abilities. This client's unrealistic beliefs and inflated self-esteem are indicative of grandiosity, a hallmark symptom of bipolar disorder.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because reality testing refers to the ability to assess the accuracy of one's perceptions, derealization involves feeling detached from one's surroundings, and flight of ideas is a symptom of pressured speech and racing thoughts often seen in mania.
