Answer to Question 1

D
The excessive motion, distractibility, and excessive talkativeness are seen in ADHD. The behaviors presented in the scenario do not suggest the other possible choices. Developmental delays would be seen if pervasive developmental disorder or Asperger's disorder were present.

Answer to Question 2

B
There are times when the nurse must simply, calmly, and firmly interrupt a manic patient. Waiting is counterproductive. Yelling at the patient and delaying necessary assessments are inappropriate.
