    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?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Encouraging the client to spend time in the dayroom may increase stimulation and worsen manic symptoms. A quiet, calm environment is typically more beneficial. B. Withdrawing privileges is punitive and may escalate agitation or irritability in a client with mania. C. Seclusion should only be used if the client is a danger to themselves or others. It is not a first-line intervention for anxiety or manic symptoms. D. Encouraging the client to take frequent rest periods helps manage manic symptoms by preventing fatigue and promoting some level of structure and control over their activities.
