As the nurse is turning off the television, a client with bipolar disorder, manic phase, says, “I want the television on so I can watch the late show. I'm not tired and you can't tell me what to do. I want it on!” The nurse should tell the client:
1. “I'll let you watch television just this once. Don't tell anyone about this.”
2. “I'll turn the television off when you get sleepy. Don't ask me to do this again.”
3. “Television hours are from 7 PM to 10 PM. It's 10 PM, and the television goes off so everyone can sleep.”
4. “The television goes off at 10 PM. I've been telling you this for the past three evenings.”
