Answer to Question 1

B
The nursing strategy for a client in a manic state who is unable to sit still long enough to eat meals would be to provide finger foods that can be eaten while walking. Finger foods such as fruits and finger sandwiches can be eaten while the client is walking. They will provide the nourishment needed by this client and reduce the possibility of poor nutrition. Intravenous supplements would only be used in extreme cases of malnutrition.
