The nurse is caring for a client who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is in a manic state. The nurse determines that which group of foods would be best for this client?

ExplanationThe client in a manic state often has inadequate food and fluid intake as a result of physical agitation. Foods that the client can eat “on the run” are best because the client is too active to sit at meals and use utensils. Additionally, clients in a manic state should not have any products that contain caffeine.
