    A nurse is admitting a client who is in the manic phase of bipolar disorder. The nurse should plan to make which of the following room assignments for the client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A semi-private room may not provide enough structure or prevent overstimulation, which could exacerbate manic behavior. B. A private room close to the nursing station is ideal for a client in the manic phase of bipolar disorder. The nurse can monitor the client's behavior more closely while providing a quiet, private space to prevent overstimulation from other clients. C. A seclusion room should not be the first option unless the client is a danger to themselves or others, and the client's activity level can usually be managed with more supportive measures. D. A private room in a quiet location is not ideal because the nurse needs to be able to monitor the client closely and intervene if necessary, which would be more difficult in a remote area.
