Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The environment for a patient with mania should be as simple and nonstimulating as possible. Patients with mania are highly sensitive to environmental distractions and stimulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This intervention provides support through the nurse's presence and provides structure as necessary while the patient's control is tenuous. Acting out may lead to the loss of behavioral control. The patient will probably be unable to focus on instructions and comply. Restraint is used only after other interventions have proved ineffective.
