A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is to undergo a cardiac catheterization. Which of the following findings is expected during the procedure?

A. "You can add honey to sweeten vegetables if they do not like them." Honey should be avoided in infants under 12 months due to the risk of infant botulism, a serious and potentially fatal illness caused by Clostridium botulinum spores.
B. "Raw carrots are a good snack to provide and can help with teething." Raw carrots pose a choking hazard for infants and should not be given in solid form. Teething rings or soft, age-appropriate snacks are safer alternatives for teething relief.
C. "You can mash canned vegetables instead of purchasing baby food." Canned vegetables often contain added sodium, which is not recommended for infants. Fresh or frozen vegetables without added salt are a safer option when preparing homemade baby food.
D. "Introduce one new food every 3 to 5 days when starting solid foods." This approach allows the caregiver to monitor for allergic reactions or food sensitivities. Introducing foods gradually helps identify the cause of any adverse response and promotes safe dietary progression.

• Panic disorder: Typically presents with intense fear, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a sense of doom. It is episodic, not sustained like mania, and does not include symptoms like euphoria, grandiosity, or hallucinations.
• Catatonia: Involves motor immobility, stupor, rigidity, or excessive purposeless movement. While this client is very active, their activity is goal-directed but disorganized, consistent with mania, not catatonia.
• Mania: Characterized by euphoric or irritable mood, increased energy, racing thoughts, pressured speech, poor judgment, impulsivity, and decreased need for sleep. The client displays grandiosity, impulsive spending, hyperactivity, pressured speech, insomnia, and hallucinations, all pointing to mania.
• Major depressive disorder: Involves symptoms like anhedonia, depressed mood, fatigue, and decreased energy. This is inconsistent with the client's overactivity and euphoric behavior.
• Delirium: Usually presents with acute confusion, fluctuating consciousness, and disorientation, often due to a medical condition or substance use. This client is consistently manic and does not show signs of fluctuating alertness or disorientation to time and person.
• Anhedonia: Inability to feel pleasure, commonly seen in depression, not in mania.
• Alogia: Poverty of speech or reduced speech output, often associated with schizophrenia, not consistent with this client’s pressured and loud speech.
• Magical thinking: Believing that one's thoughts can influence reality, often seen in schizotypal personality disorder, not prominent here.
• Euphoric mood: A classic symptom of mania, where the individual may feel overly joyful, energetic, and invincible, as reflected in the client's excessive confidence, impulsivity, and erratic behavior.
• Hypervigilance: Commonly linked with anxiety disorders or PTSD, and not the most fitting descriptor for this client’s presentation.
