Answer to Question 1

C
The goal should be directly related to the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis; in this case improvement in the child's aggressiveness and play. The distracters are more relevant for a child with pervasive developmental disorder or anxiety disorder.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse must protect vulnerable patients and keep them from being drawn into the manic patient's angry behavior. By stating that the behavior is not permitted, the nurse sets limits and does not enter into an argument. The distracters will further anger the patient, may cause escalation, or may allow for loss of control.
