Answer to Question 1

4. Explain that hallucinations are not real

Rationale:
The adolescent client in the manic phase of bipolar disorder experiencing hallucinations should not be left alone in a quiet room but rather should be talked with and explained that the hallucinations are not real. The nurse should not discuss homework assignments or encourage the client to spend time with others. The hallucinations need to be addressed.

Answer to Question 2

2. Teach the family that high fevers can cause delirium

Rationale:
The nurse will want to explain that high fever can cause confusion in the child and that this symptom will abate when the fever returns to normal. Teaching the family how to care for the child will not necessarily decrease their anxiety. Telling the family the symptom will not last long is not helping them understand the nature of the symptom. Asking the family to visit for short periods will only heighten their anxiety.
