Answer to Question 1

A
The most important outcome for a client in the extremely manic phase would be that the client remain safe and physically supported. This outcome is most important because a client in a manic state may participate in activities that could be harmful to him- or herself or others. Also, the excitation of a manic state would interfere with the client taking time to address other basic needs such as the need for food and water. Ultimately, nursing interventions would be directed at addressing these problems.
