Answer to Question 1

B
This response occurs as the individual anticipates a stress-provoking event. A normal anxiety response does not best meet the description in this situation; an anxiety state refers to a person whose coping abilities have become overwhelmed and the person has lost emotional control; and an anxiety trait is part of an individual's personality that occurs as an overreaction to situations.

Answer to Question 2

A
Although each of the nursing diagnoses listed may apply for a patient having a manic episode, the priority lies with the patient's physiological safety. Hyperactivity and poor judgment put the patient at high risk for injury.
