The treatment plan for a client with acute mania has been effective when the nurse charts that the client has:
1. Pressured speech and wears short shorts and a low-cut blouse.
2. An expansive mood and has organized a unit pool tournament.
3. An irritable mood and sat for one minute to eat lunch.
4. Been intrusive with peer conversations.

Rationale: An expansive mood and organizing a unit pool tournament is correct because though the client may have an expansive mood, the client was able to focus thinking and follow through with organizing an activity. Pressured speech is a symptom of mania. Seductive and inappropriate clothing is a symptom of mania. Irritability and hyperactivity are indicative of an ongoing acute manic phase. Being intrusive with peer conversations is indicative of lack of inhibition and poor personal boundaries in an ongoing acute manic phase.
