Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Provide high-calorie nutritional supplements.
Rationale:
💠 Clients in acute manic episodes often have increased physical activity, poor concentration, and reduced appetite, which can lead to weight loss and nutritional deficits.
💠 High-calorie nutritional supplements help meet their metabolic needs when they’re too distracted or hyperactive to sit for full meals.
💠 Providing finger foods and frequent snacks also supports nutritional intake while accommodating their limited attention span.
💠 This intervention ensures adequate nutrition and hydration, which are crucial for recovery and stability.
