A
According to Parse's theory of human becoming, being present for the client and offering unconditional support would be the best approach to the client with mania. The nurse seeks to understand the client's interpretation of his or her lived experiences. Nursing interventions begin with being fully present for the person and making no demands. Next, in the context of caring and support, the nurse would tease out multiple complex realities of the client's experiences so that the nurse's understanding of the client's world can guide nursing interventions.
