Question 1 of 5

A nurse is conducting an admission assessment for a client who is experiencing a manic episode of bipolar disorder. Which of the following behaviors should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A,B,D

Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, and D. Grandiosity is a common behavior in manic episodes where the client exhibits an inflated sense of self-importance. Flight of ideas refers to rapid and disconnected thoughts. Hyperactivity is manifested by increased physical movement and restlessness. Splitting, choice C, is a defense mechanism associated with borderline personality disorder, not bipolar disorder. Withdrawal, choice E, is more indicative of depressive episodes rather than manic episodes.
Therefore, the correct choices are A, B, and D based on the typical behaviors exhibited during a manic episode of bipolar disorder.
