Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder and states that his latest computer project is 'revolutionizing the industry.' Which of the following behaviors is the client exhibiting?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Grandiosity. Grandiosity is a symptom commonly seen in the manic phase of bipolar disorder. It involves an inflated sense of self-importance, unrealistic beliefs in one's abilities, and a perception of being involved in activities that are revolutionary or of great significance. In this scenario, the client's statement about revolutionizing the industry reflects grandiosity. Clang associations involve the association of words based on sound rather than meaning and are often seen in individuals with thought disorders. Flight of ideas refers to a rapid flow of thoughts, often manifested by speech that is difficult to interrupt, with topics changing rapidly. Confabulation is the creation of false or distorted memories without the intention to deceive. It is not a characteristic behavior of mania in bipolar disorder.
