A nurse is planning care for a client who has bipolar disorder and is experiencing mania. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

A) Encourage the client to spend time in the dayroom: While social interaction can be beneficial, a client experiencing mania may become overstimulated in a busy environment. This intervention may not be appropriate if it increases anxiety or agitation. B) Place the client in seclusion when he exhibits signs of anxiety: Seclusion should be a last resort and is not an appropriate first-line intervention. Instead, the focus should be on therapeutic approaches that promote safety and reduce anxiety without resorting to restrictive measures. C) Encourage the client to take frequent rest periods: This is a crucial intervention for a client experiencing mania, as it can help manage symptoms and prevent exhaustion. Encouraging rest periods allows the client to regain some control and reduces the risk of overwhelming stimulation. D) Withdraw the client's TV privileges if he does not attend group therapy: Using punitive measures such as withdrawing privileges is not therapeutic and can exacerbate feelings of rejection or frustration. A supportive approach is more effective in encouraging participation in therapy rather than implementing consequences.
