Which legal ramification would be indicated when a newly admitted male client diagnosed with bipolar disorder who has a history of hyperactivity and combativeness is found later in the evening beating another client? The client should have been placed in restraints on admission. Keeping the client sedated is necessary for a client who is known to have been combative. A client with bipolar disorder who is in contact with reality does not require supervision. Because it was known that the client was frequently combative, close observation by the nursing staff was indicated.
