Which of the following client outcomes would indicate that interventions provided to a client in the manic phase of bipolar disorder has improved self-care activities?
1. The client brushes own teeth every time when reminded.
2. The client washes hands after using the toilet.
3. The client completed morning bath and changed clothes.
4. The client cleaned liquid spilled on floor but did not change clothes.
3. Client completed morning bath and changed clothes.
Rationale:
The client completing a morning bath and changing clothes are evidence that the interventions succeeded in improving the client's self-care activities. The client needing to be reminded to brush teeth would not be a successful outcome. The client washing hands after using the toilet may or may not be an improvement. The client cleaning spilled liquid on the floor but not changing clothes is not evidence of improvement in self-care activities.
