ATI RN Mental Health Asn Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse in an acute mental health unit is admitting a client who has bipolar disorder. Which of the following findings supports the admitting diagnosis of acute mania?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because disorganized speech is a key symptom of acute mania in bipolar disorder. Disorganized speech is characterized by incoherent, rapid, and tangential responses, reflecting the racing thoughts and pressured speech commonly seen in manic episodes. This symptom is indicative of a manic state, which is a defining feature of bipolar disorder.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the diagnostic criteria for acute mania. Weight gain, clothing color choice, and auditory hallucinations are not specific to mania and could be present in other mental health conditions.
