Answer to Question 1

A
The most important information for the advanced practice nurse to supply the family is information about the disease and what to expect. Because individuals with mania may rapidly cycle into depression, the risk of self-injury and suicide must be discussed with the family. In this situation the nurse's role is one of both support and listening as well as one of educating.

Answer to Question 2

A
