A client in the manic phase of bipolar disorder constantly belittles other clients and demands special favors from the nurses. Which nursing intervention would be most appropriate for this client ?()
A.Ask other clients and staff members to ignore the client's behavior.
B.Set limits with consequences for belittling or demanding behavior.
C.Offer the client an antianxiety drug when belittling or demanding behavior occurs.
D.Offer the client a variety of stimulating activities to distract him from belittling or making demands of others.
参考答案:B
解析:
To protect others from a client who exhibits belittling and demanding behaviors, the nurse may need to set limits with consequences for noncompliance. Asking others to ignore the client is likely to increase those behaviors. Offering the client an antianxiety drug or stimulating activities provides no motivation for the client to change problematic behaviors.
