Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: How people think and react and remember is their cognitive style or overall pattern of thought. The nurse's actions indicate an understanding of the way the client thinks. The client's behavior is neither positive nor negative. The client being hyperverbal may or may not indicate mania.
