- Please read the entire case scenario and note the important details.
- Conduct a mental status examination (MSE) to assess the person’s current mental state. A typical MSE includes: the person’s appearance, behaviour, language and speech, their thought content, perception and mood, as well as insight and cognition.
- Use the MSE to develop a formulation of a MSE that includes a bio-psychosocial history. Use the information to identify possible contributing factors to the person’s mental health issues.
- Use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to identify and prioritize the person’s needs. Think about their safety needs and social needs. Also, consider the esteem needs of each person.
- Develop a nursing-oriented handover that can be used to communicate relevant information to other healthcare professionals who will be involved in the person’s care.
- Identify best practice nursing interventions that can address the person’s mental health needs. Consider evidence-based interventions that are appropriate for the person’s specific disorder and situation.
- Find ways to involve the other person in therapeutic relationships. Think about strategies like active listening, building trust, and empathy.
- Apply cultural safety by considering the person’s cultural background, beliefs, and values. Do not make assumptions or stereotypes based on generalizations.
- Apply the recovery model/philosophy by focusing on the person’s strengths and abilities, and supporting them in their journey towards recovery.
