A 32-year-old client is admitted to the unit. She states, "I’m a well-known, wealthy designer," and begins to order the nurses to prepare her bath while she orders her tray and telephones her colleagues. Her husband states that she’s too busy to eat and sleep and is losing weight. Her admitting diagnosis is bipolar disorder, manic phase. For which of the following events should the nurse plan ?()
A.Erratic and unpredictable behavior if challenged.
B.Boredom and the need for minute-to-minute activities.
C.Rapid mood changes from elation to depression.
D.One-to-one treatment to occupy the client’s time.
参考答案:A
解析:
Bipolar clients are often unpredictable and exhibit angry outbursts. The unit itself, with its regularly scheduled activities, may provide too much stimulation for the manic client. The course of illness wouldn’t be expected to move rapidly through the manic-depressive-manic cycle, although the client should be observed for signs of depression.
