    Ati Lpn Mental Health Proctored Exam(Mood And Stress)

    A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder and states that his latest computer project is "revolutionizing the industry." Which of the following behaviors is the client exhibiting?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Clang associations involve speech driven by rhyming or sound rather than meaning. This is not present here. Choice B reason: Flight of ideas refers to rapid shifting from one topic to another. The statement is focused, not rapidly changing. Choice C reason: Confabulation is filling memory gaps with fabricated stories, often seen in dementia, not bipolar disorder. Choice D reason: Grandiosity is an inflated sense of self-importance or ability, common in manic episodes. Claiming to revolutionize an industry reflects this symptom.
