A nurse is caring for a client with bipolar disorder who is experiencing a severe manic episode. The client has been awake for 72 hours, is hyperverbal, pacing rapidly, speaking loudly and incoherently, and has not eaten or slept in the past 3 days. Vital signs show tachycardia and elevated blood pressure. Which nursing intervention should be the priority?
1Encourage the client to participate in group therapy sessions to improve social skills
2Provide detailed explanations about the importance of medication compliance
3Create a calm, low-stimulation environment and ensure basic physiological needs are met✓ 정답
4Engage the client in high-energy recreational activities to redirect manic energy
해설
In severe mania, priority is safety and meeting basic physiological needs (e.g., sleep, nutrition) in a low-stimulation environment to prevent exhaustion and escalation. Other interventions (group therapy, medication education, high-energy activities) are inappropriate during acute agitation.
