A client diagnosed with bipolar disorder continues to be hyperactive and to lose weight. Which of the following nutritional interventions would be most therapeutic for him at this time?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The manic client diagnosed with bipolar disorder is often hyperactive and may have difficulty sitting still for full meals. Small, frequent feedings of foods that can be easily carried allow the client to consume necessary nutrients throughout the day without requiring long periods of sitting, which can be challenging for someone experiencing hyperactivity. This approach helps to ensure that the client maintains an adequate intake of food and avoids weight loss while accommodating their need for constant movement.
