Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer, indicated as D. Rationale: Seclusion is not generally recommended for mania unless necessary for safety; it may increase feelings of isolation.

Short rest periods are recommended for clients in a manic state to help manage their energy levels and prevent exhaustion.
