Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who is in the manic phase of bipolar disorder. The nurse should plan to make which of the following room assignments for the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A private room close to the nursing station. This choice ensures the client's safety and allows for close monitoring by the nursing staff due to the increased risk of impulsive behaviors during the manic phase. A private room helps minimize distractions and stimuli that can exacerbate manic symptoms, while proximity to the nursing station enables quick intervention if needed.
Incorrect choices:
A: A private room in a quiet location on the unit - While privacy is important, a quiet location may not provide adequate supervision and support for a client in the manic phase.
B: A semiprivate room with a roommate who has similar symptoms - Sharing a room with someone exhibiting similar symptoms may lead to escalation of behaviors and lack of supervision.
D: A seclusion room until the client's activity level becomes more subdued - Seclusion should only be used as a last resort for safety concerns and is not appropriate for managing manic symptoms.
