A nurse is collaborating with social services in the discharge planning for a young adult client who is below the poverty income level and will require home IV therapy. Which of the following resources should the nurse recommend? (Select all that apply.)

• Lack of sleep: Decreased need for sleep is a core feature of mania, where individuals may go days with minimal rest and still appear energetic or overly active. It is not a defining feature of psychosis, though it may occur secondarily.
• Pressured speech: Pressured, rapid, and difficult-to-interrupt speech is strongly associated with mania, reflecting accelerated thought processes and elevated mood. It is uncommon in psychosis unless mania and psychotic features coexist.
• Disorganized thought process: This is a hallmark of psychosis, often seen in disorders like schizophrenia. It includes loose associations, tangentiality, and difficulty organizing ideas, and can impair communication significantly.
• Excessive spending habits: Engaging in impulsive or risky financial behaviors is a classic symptom of mania, often driven by grandiosity or impaired judgment. This behavior is not typical of psychosis unless mania is also present.
• Hallucinations: Perceptual disturbances such as seeing or hearing things that are not present are definitive features of psychosis. While they can occur in severe mania with psychotic features, they are primarily linked to psychotic disorders.

A. Vital signs. The client has a significantly elevated heart rate (110/min) and elevated blood pressure (178/82 mm Hg), both of which can be associated with autonomic responses in dumping syndrome. The dizziness and desire to lie down after eating are also classic symptoms. These signs reflect the body’s reaction to rapid gastric emptying and fluid shifts.
B. Prescribed diet. While a bland, soft diet is generally safe post-gastrectomy, it may not prevent dumping syndrome unless it includes specific modifications like low carbohydrate intake and small, frequent meals. However, this option alone does not directly indicate dumping syndrome.
C. Skin appearance. The client is noted to be diaphoretic and pale, which are common symptoms of dumping syndrome due to the vasomotor response and hypoglycemia that can follow rapid gastric emptying.
D. Blood glucose level. The client's fasting blood glucose dropped to 65 mg/dL, which is below the normal range. Hypoglycemia is a hallmark of late dumping syndrome, resulting from excessive insulin release after rapid carbohydrate absorption in the small intestine.
E. WBC count. The WBC count is within normal range (9,000/mm³) and does not indicate dumping syndrome or an infectious process. It is not relevant in this context.
