A nurse has been confronted about stealing and taking drugs from the narcotics cart in the med room. The nurse has been reported to the board of nursing in their state. What is the likely initial outcome?

A. People diagnosed with schizophrenia are more violent than others: Individuals with schizophrenia are not inherently more violent than the general population. The majority are not violent and are often more likely to be victims rather than perpetrators of violence.
B. Biologically female clients are likely to be diagnosed earlier than biologically born males: Research indicates that biologically male clients often present with symptoms earlier than females.
C. Biologically male clients are typically diagnosed earlier than biologically female clients: Research shows that males tend to exhibit the onset of schizophrenia earlier, usually in late adolescence to early adulthood, whereas females may experience a later onset, often in their 20s or 30s.
D. Diagnosis commonly occurs in individuals under the age of 12: Schizophrenia is rare in children under 12 years of age, and diagnosis typically occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood. Early-onset schizophrenia is uncommon, and most cases are diagnosed after the age of 12.

A. Encourage group therapy participation: While group therapy can be beneficial, during a manic episode, clients may struggle to engage effectively due to their heightened energy levels and impulsivity. Individual interventions are typically more appropriate at this stage.
B. Provide high-calorie finger foods: During a manic episode, clients often have increased energy expenditure and may neglect their nutritional needs. Providing high-calorie finger foods ensures that the client receives adequate nutrition without requiring them to sit down for a formal meal, accommodating their high activity level and potential lack of focus.
C. Allow the client to lead a unit meeting: Allowing a client in a manic state to lead a meeting could exacerbate their manic behavior, leading to disruptions and further challenges in managing their condition. It is essential to maintain structure and limit opportunities for impulsive actions during this time.
D. Discourage any physical activity to prevent exhaustion: While it's important to monitor for signs of exhaustion, completely discouraging physical activity is not appropriate. Encouraging some level of physical activity can help channel the client's energy positively, but it should be carefully monitored to prevent overstimulation or fatigue.
