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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Walking with the nurse in the courtyard. This activity is appropriate for a client in the manic phase of bipolar disorder as it provides a calming and grounding effect. Walking outdoors can help reduce excess energy and agitation commonly seen in mania. It allows the client to engage in physical activity while also providing an opportunity for the nurse to monitor the client's behavior and ensure safety.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Joining a group discussion about a local election might be too stimulating and may exacerbate the client's symptoms.
B: Watching a video with a group in the day room could be overwhelming and not provide the necessary outlet for excess energy.
D: Participating in a basketball game in the gym could be too intense and competitive, potentially escalating the client's manic symptoms.
