Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: A mania component is the defining feature of bipolar disorder. The client may or may not have suicidal ideation. Bipolar disorder has both mania and depressive components. Bipolar disorder is not diagnosed with only one week of symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Children who experience a loss as the result of a parental suicide or adolescents exposed to the suicide of a friend require urgent intervention to deal with the trauma. Both are at greater risk for suicide and depression and should be carefully screened, observed, and treated for depressive symptoms if present, but immediate hospitalization is not usually warranted.
