Answer to Question 1

B
Outcomes should be measurable. High-calorie, high-protein food supplements will provide the additional calories needed to offset the patient's hyperactivity. Nursing interventions are directed toward the etiology. The other outcomes are related to other nursing diagnoses that might be established for a patient with mania.

Answer to Question 2

B
Research suggests that a number of abnormalities in brain and neurotransmitter function can contribute to increased likelihood of violent behavior; some persons do seem to be biologically predisposed to tolerate frustration less well and respond more readily with anger or rage responses. Brain injury or disorders such as cerebrovascular accidents, dementia, temporal lobe epilepsy, and tumors can lead to increased violent behavior as well. Research also supports a role for aggression as a learned response, whether from observing violent role models within one's family or community or through exposure to violence in the media. Persons who have otherwise not shown a pattern of violence can nonetheless behave violently when their normal coping abilities have been overwhelmed.
