Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In bipolar disorder, structure and routine are important. The child can be allowed freedoms as appropriate and within limits. Prioritizing battles is also important; the nurse should not encourage rigidity in the parents. While hypersexualized behavior can be apparent, patients with bipolar disorder are not necessarily sexually aggressive. Hospitalization may be required briefly in extreme cases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
One important goal for the child with situational low self-esteem is to have the child engage in positive self-talk. Remembering a great project is a good way to highlight the child's abilities in his or her own mind. The other statements do not indicate movement toward resolution of this diagnosis.
