Question

The milkshake will provide needed calories and nutrients for the client with mania. Which of the following options is incorrect in this context?

1) High sodium content
2) High lithium content
3) Moderate nutrient value
4) None of the above

Answer 1

The incorrect option in the context of a milkshake providing calories and nutrients for a client with mania is 'High lithium content', as milkshakes do not naturally contain lithium, a medication for bipolar disorder. 'High sodium content' is generally undesirable but not directly relevant to mania, and 'moderate nutrient value' is typically expected from a milkshake.

Step-by-step explanation:

The context of this question relates to understanding the nutritional value of a milkshake for a client experiencing mania, a phase of bipolar disorder. Mania often leads to increased physical activity and potentially erratic behavior, which can increase caloric needs. A milkshake can indeed provide needed calories and nutrients, but the content of the milkshake is crucial in this context. Option 1 is incorrect, since a high sodium content is usually not desirable in regular diets, although it does not have a direct impact on mania. Option 2, high lithium content, is technically incorrect because milkshakes do not naturally contain lithium; it is a medication used to treat bipolar disorder and is not a dietary nutrient. Option 3, moderate nutrient value, is an ambiguous statement but is generally what we would expect from a milkshake. Therefore, option 4, 'None of the above', is the correct answer since all the other options have inaccuracies regarding the context of a milkshake providing needed calories and nutrients for a client with mania.
