While caring for a manic patient, the nurses should keep the unit

Correct option is B

Ans (b)
Sol. Explanation:
· During manic episodes, patients often experience elevated mood, hyperactivity, increased energy, and impulsiveness. Because of this, a highly stimulating environment can exacerbate their agitation and potentially trigger inappropriate behaviors.
· A cheerful environment helps maintain the patient's engagement and reduces feelings of isolation, while not being overly stimulating helps prevent over-excitement and impulsivity.
· Option (a), "Active and stimulating," might lead to increased agitation and manic behaviors.
· Option (c), "Very permissive and stress-free," can lack necessary structure and boundaries, which is important in managing manic episodes.
· Option (d), "Active, interesting, and exciting," can also be too much for a manic patient and may lead to further increased hyperactivity and risk-taking behavior.
