Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder and is experiencing acute mania. The client is doing calisthenics in the client dining room during lunchtime instead of eating. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Come with me. Here is a milkshake to drink." This response acknowledges the client's current behavior, offers a solution to address the situation, and provides a positive alternative to support the client's nutritional needs. Offering a milkshake encourages fluid and caloric intake, addressing the client's energy expenditure during calisthenics. It also redirects the client's focus from excessive exercise to a more balanced approach to self-care.
Option B is incorrect because the client in acute mania may not be able to make a rational decision about their activities. Option C may escalate the situation by abruptly stopping the client's behavior without providing an alternative. Option D is incorrect as it shames the client for their behavior and does not offer a constructive solution.
