Answer to Question 1

B
All the options are reasonable interventions with a patient with acute mania, but the correct answer directly relates to the outcome of energy conservation. A subdued environment decreases stimulation, which will help balance activity and rest.

Answer to Question 2

A
Physical problems frequently are overlooked when someone has a diagnosed mental health disorder. These physical problems often can be the cause of symptoms and may be easily treated. For example, low blood sugar, rather than schizophrenia, could be a cause of the symptoms described in this scenario. For this reason, physical examinations are always performed on admission to a mental health facility, followed by the other options listed.
