Luc's family comes home one evening to find him extremely agitated and they suspect he is in a full manic episode. The family calls emergency medical services. While one medic is talking with Luc and his family, the other medic is counting something on his desk. What is the medic most likely counting?

Rationale: A. Energy drink containers may be counted because excessive caffeine intake can worsen agitation and mania symptoms. Monitoring caffeine consumption is relevant in manic episodes. B. Hypodermic needles are not typically related to mania assessment unless substance abuse is suspected. C. Empty soda cans may contain caffeine but energy drinks have a much higher caffeine concentration, making them more clinically relevant. D. Fast food wrappers indicate diet but are less directly related to manic behavior management.
