Answer Choices:
Stay with the client
💡 Stay with the client: Clients with bipolar disorder, especially if in a manic or agitated state, may be at risk for impulsive or unsafe behavior. Close supervision is critical for safety.
💡 Place the client near the nurses' station: This allows for frequent monitoring, early intervention for escalating behavior, and promotes a safer environment.
💡 Offer finger foods: If the client is experiencing mania, they may be unable to sit still long enough for full meals. Nutrient-dense finger foods help maintain nutrition during periods of hyperactivity.
💡 Caffeinated beverages should be avoided as they can worsen agitation, anxiety, and insomnia in clients with bipolar disorder.
💡 Weighing weekly is routine but not a priority 💡 intervention in the emergency setting unless there are specific weight-related concerns (e.g., lithium toxicity, fluid imbalance).
