Answer to Question 1

A
High-calorie, high-protein food supplements will provide the additional calories needed to offset the
client's extreme hyperactivity. The other indicators are related to other nursing diagnoses that might
be established for a manic client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pain is increased when the client has muscle tension. Relaxation can diminish the client's
perceptions of the intensity of pain. The other options are modalities useful in treating selected
anxiety disorders.
