Answer to Question 1

3. Risk for Injury related to suicidal ideas

Rationale:
The priority for a child with bipolar disorder and suicidal ideas is safety. Risk for injury would be the nursing diagnosis that would address safety for the child. The other diagnoses have a lower priority and can be addressed once safety has been ensured.

Answer to Question 2

3. Honesty.

Rationale:
Honesty includes awareness and openness to one's own feelings and genuineness in caring for the other. In this situation, the nurse has her own feelings about what the client should do but truly wants to provide good care, so she seeks out assistance from someone who may be able to enlighten her. Hope is belief in the possibilities of the other's growth. Humility means acknowledging that there is always more to learn, and that learning may come from any source. Patience enables the other to grow in his own way and time.
