A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder. Which of the following actions by the client should the nurse interpret as displaying manic behavior? Select all that apply.

Choice A reason: Forgetting people's names can be a symptom of both dementia and delirium, but it is more commonly associated with the progressive cognitive decline seen in dementia.

Choice B reason: Sudden onset of confusion after starting a new medication, such as an antidepressant, is indicative of delirium, which can be triggered by drug interactions or side effects.

Choice C reason: Increased tiredness and sleep could be associated with either condition but are not specific indicators that would distinguish delirium from dementia.

Choice D reason: A loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities is a symptom that can be seen in dementia as part of a gradual decline in engagement and is not specific to delirium.

Choice A reason: A matter-of-fact approach is effective for clients with schizotypal personality disorder as it helps in dealing with their eccentric behaviors and distorted thinking without reinforcing their odd beliefs.

Choice B reason: Clients with avoidant personality disorder may benefit more from a supportive and encouraging approach due to their sensitivity to rejection and feelings of inadequacy.

Choice C reason: For narcissistic personality disorder, a matter-of-fact approach might not be as effective because these clients often require admiration and may not respond well to a straightforward style.

Choice D reason: An antisocial personality disorder client may respond better to a matter-of-fact approach as it sets clear boundaries and expectations without emotional engagement, which they may exploit.

Choice E reason: Paranoid personality disorder clients may find a matter-of-fact approach beneficial as it provides clear and direct communication, which can help reduce their suspicions.
