Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder and is in the manic phase. The client says he is bored. Which of the following activities is appropriate for the nurse to suggest to this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A - Walking with the nurse in the courtyard.
Rationale: Walking with the nurse in the courtyard is appropriate as it provides physical activity, fresh air, and one-on-one interaction to help distract and calm the client during the manic phase. This activity promotes relaxation and can help reduce boredom without overstimulating the client. It also allows the nurse to closely monitor the client's behavior and mood.
Summary of other choices:
B: Watching a video with a group may be too stimulating for a client in the manic phase.
C: Participating in a basketball game may be too intense and potentially risky for a client with bipolar disorder in a manic state.
D: Joining a group discussion about a local election may be overwhelming and not calming for a client experiencing mania.
