Members of some cultural groups tend to speak more loudly when
they are excited, with great emotion and with vigorous and
animated gestures. This is true whether their excitement is due to
positive or negative events. It is important for the nurse to avoid
rushing to judgment regarding a person's intent when the patient is
speaking, especially in a language not understood by the nurse.
Instead, the nurse should withhold an interpretation of what has
been expressed until it is possible to clarify the patient's intent. To
conclude that the patient is disturbed would be a rushed judgment
as the nurse should rule out other options first. Manic patients
