Practice Question
A nurse is planning care for a client who is experiencing acute mania. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Provide high-calorie nutritional supplements.
Rationale:
🟡 Clients in acute mania exhibit increased physical activity, excessive talking, and poor concentration, often neglecting food and fluid intake due to distractibility.
🟡 Providing high-calorie, easily consumable nutritional supplements supports metabolic needs when the client cannot sit for full meals.
🟡 Supplements are also useful because they can be consumed quickly while the client continues to pace or talk, maintaining safety and nutrition simultaneously.
🟡 This intervention helps prevent weight loss, dehydration, and nutritional deficiencies common during manic episodes.
🟡 It also reduces the stimulation of long mealtimes, which can be overwhelming and disruptive for manic individuals.
