A patient with bipolar disorder in a manic phase is exhibiting pressured speech, flight of ideas, and irritability. The nurse’s priority intervention should be to:

  • Engage the patient in a lengthy conversation to reorient them.
  • Provide a calm, low-stimulus environment.
  • Challenge the patient's irrational thoughts.
  • Encourage group therapy participation for socialization.
