A client with bipolar disorder tells the nurse about the need to make some deals to improve a retirement savings. Based on this information, which client outcome should the nurse include in the care?

A. Seek legal counsel when making business decisions: While consulting legal counsel is a practical step for financial planning, it does not directly address the client’s impulsivity or impaired judgment associated with mania, which is the primary concern in bipolar disorder. B. Identify the feelings associated with the behavior: Understanding emotions is part of psychoeducation and insight development, but it does not prevent potentially risky financial decisions made during manic episodes. C. Delay business decisions until mania subsides: Encouraging the client to postpone significant financial or legal actions until mood stabilization directly addresses the risk of impulsive behavior, poor judgment, and potential harm, making it the most relevant outcome for safe and effective care planning. D. Describe feelings of fear about finances: Exploring fear may support emotional awareness, but it does not provide a practical strategy to prevent harmful financial decisions during mania, which is the immediate safety concern.
