    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. Incorrect – Withdrawing TV privileges as a consequence is punitive and not appropriate for managing mania. B. Incorrect – The dayroom can be overstimulating, worsening manic symptoms. A quiet, structured environment is preferred. C. Incorrect – Seclusion is only used for severe agitation or if the client poses a danger to themselves or others, not just for anxiety. D. Correct – Clients experiencing mania have high energy levels and may become exhausted. Encouraging frequent rest helps prevent fatigue and physical depletion.
