While all the outcomes are important in the overall care of a client with bipolar disorder, the safety of the client takes precedence, especially during the acute phase of the disorder. Bipolar disorder is characterized by mood swings that can include episodes of mania, which may involve risky behaviors or even thoughts of self-harm.
A. The client will remain safe throughout hospitalization: This is the priority outcome. Ensuring the safety of the client during hospitalization involves monitoring for any signs of self-harm or harm to others, managing any acute manic or depressive symptoms, and providing a secure environment.

B. The client will accomplish activities of daily living independently by discharge: While independence in activities of daily living is a valuable outcome, it may not be the immediate priority during the acute phase of bipolar disorder. Addressing safety and stabilization come first.

C. The client will use problem-solving to cope adequately after discharge: Coping skills are important for long-term management, but ensuring safety and stabilization during the hospitalization phase takes precedence. Coping skills can be addressed as part of the overall treatment plan.

D. The client will verbalize feelings during group sessions by discharge: Expression of feelings is an important aspect of mental health treatment, but safety and stabilization remain the priority, especially during the acute phase of bipolar disorder.

B. "This therapy will provide the client with control over behavioral choices": Anorexia nervosa often involves issues of control, and behavior modification can empower the individual to regain control over their eating behaviors in a structured and supportive manner. It involves setting goals, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing a sense of control within the therapeutic framework.

"This therapy will reward the client for perfectionist achievement": While anorexia nervosa is associated with perfectionism, rewarding for perfectionist achievement may inadvertently reinforce unhealthy behaviors. Behavior modification aims to promote positive behaviors related to health and well-being rather than reinforcing perfectionism.

D. "This therapy will protect the client from parental overindulgence": Behavior modification is not primarily focused on protecting the client from external factors like parental overindulgence. Instead, it aims to modify specific behaviors through positive reinforcement or consequences.
