Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with mania require reduced environmental stimuli; thus a single room is preferable to a double room.Patients with mania often require increased nursing supervision and limit setting to counteract impulsivity,so placing the patient near the nurse's station is preferable to placement near the entrance,where leaving the unit would be easier.
