Answer to Question 1

D
All the options are reasonable interventions with a client with acute mania, but option D directly
relates to the outcome of energy conservation by providing a subdued environment that will decrease
stimulation and help balance activity and rest.

Answer to Question 2

A
Options B, C, and D each list the positive symptoms of schizophrenia that might be apparent during
the acute stage of the illness. Prodromal symptoms, the symptoms that are present before the
development of florid symptoms, are listed in option 1.
