Answer to Question 1

D
Increased environmental temperatures often cause easily agitated clients to become more agitated. It is important for the nurse to monitor a client's individual response to his or her environment.

A, B, C, E, F
These options are the determining factors for inpatient mental health care. If a client meets the criteria, the diagnosis does not matter in the determination of whether the client requires inpatient or outpatient care.
