Answer to Question 1

B
Acute manic states are also a threatening factor for risk of injury. These patients show poor judgment, excessive risk taking, and an inability to evaluate realistic danger and the consequences of their actions. Extreme hyperactivity can lead to exhaustion and even death.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explicit consideration in deciding to medicate a client against his or her will is determining whether this action violates the client's right to autonomy and whether alternative, less-intrusive treatments are available. Other considerations are the benefits of the treatment and what is in the client's best interest. Issues of treatment refusal are in some cases being addressed by psychiatric advance directives. With advance directives a client may indicate--while well--the conditions under which he or she would consent to treatment should he or she become ill and unable to make decisions.
