Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using a calm, unemotional approach during client interactions is most therapeutic for a client in the manic phase of bipolar affective disorder as it helps to decrease the client's agitation and may help to prevent escalation of manic behaviors. Focusing primarily on enforcing limits or limiting interactions may be important, but should not be the primary intervention. Encouraging the client to establish social relationships with peers may not be appropriate during the manic phase as the client's behavior may be unpredictable or potentially harmful to others.
