Answer to Question 1

B
Using Orem's self-care deficit theory of nursing, the nurse would recognize that a client experiencing mania would have limited patient agency. Limited patient agency would be a direct consequence of the amount of energy the client had exerted over the past several days. When experiencing mania the client most likely does not address nutritional needs or needs related to safety. The most appropriate nursing intervention would be to schedule brief one-to-one sessions and quiet time alone. If the client continued the current pace, exhaustion would occur. It is the nurse's role to assist the client with meeting basic needs as identified by Maslow.

Answer to Question 2

A
Leininger's theory is based on the belief that across cultures there are health care practices and beliefs that vary (diversity) and that are similar (universality). A nurse must have an understanding of the client's culture to give culturally appropriate care.
