Answer to Question 1

A
The distractibility characteristic of manic episodes can assist the nurse to direct the patient toward more appropriate, constructive activities without entering into power struggles. Humor usually backfires by either encouraging the patient or inciting anger. Limit setting and honest feedback may incite anger.

Answer to Question 2

1
The need for setting limits often arises during the working phase, because painful emotions often surface.
