A nurse learns at report that a newly admitted client experiencing mania is demonstrating grandiose delusions. The nurse should recognize which client statement would provide supportive evidence of this symptom?

A. Favoring clients over others based upon their mental health diagnosis is not an indication of bias: This statement is incorrect. Favoring or discriminating against clients based on their mental health diagnosis is a clear indication of bias, and it is an issue that the nursing profession aims to address.

B. Displaying basis & conscious art: It seems like there might be a typo in this option. Assuming it means "Displaying bias, conscious or not," this could be a relevant point in discussing unconscious biases that individuals may hold, impacting their interactions with clients.

C. There is a negative stigmatization for mental lives: This is the correct answer. This statement acknowledges the existence of negative stigmatization associated with mental health. Addressing and reducing mental health stigma is an essential aspect of providing quality mental health care.

D. Bias is often isolated to inpatient hospitalization: This statement is not accurate. Bias can manifest in various healthcare settings, not just inpatient hospitalization. It is important to address bias across all levels of care to ensure equitable and unbiased treatment for individuals with mental health concerns.

A. Self-destructive behavior despite alternative interventions: Mechanical restraints may be considered when a client poses an immediate risk of harm to themselves, and alternative interventions have been ineffective or are not feasible.

B. Discipline for throwing objects at staff: Mechanical restraints are not appropriate as a form of discipline. Restraints should only be used when there is an imminent risk of harm to the client or others.

C. Punishment for verbally abusing other clients: The use of restraints as a form of punishment is not ethical or appropriate. Restraints should be employed solely to prevent harm, not as a disciplinary measure.

D. Coercion to take prescribed medications: Coercion to take medications is not a valid reason for using mechanical restraints. Alternative approaches, such as therapeutic communication or discussing the need for medications with the client, should be explored.
