Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with bipolar disorder in an acute manic state. The client is running around the unit asking people to dance with her. After ensuring safety, which of the following interventions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Take the client to a calm environment and offer snacks. This intervention addresses the client's need for a calming environment while also meeting their potential physical needs. Providing a calm environment can help reduce stimuli that may exacerbate manic behavior. Offering snacks can help regulate blood sugar levels, potentially stabilizing mood swings. Turning on a dance video (choice
A) may further stimulate the client and escalate the manic behavior. Offering a low-calorie snack (choice
C) may not address the client's immediate need for calming or nourishment. While observing for aggressive behavior (choice
D) is important, it is not the most immediate intervention needed in this scenario.
