单选题 The nurse is caring for a client in an acute manic state. What's the most effective nursing action for this client?
A. Assigning him to group activities.
B. Reducing his stimulation.
C. Assisting him with self-care.
D. Helping him express his feelings.

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】Reducing stimuli helps to reduce hyperactivity during a manic state. Group activities would provide too much stimulation. Trying to assist the client with self-care could cause increased agitation. When in a manic state, these clients can't express their inner feelings in a productive, introspective manner. The focus of treatment for a client in the manic state is behavior control.
