The following essay is a reflective account on an event that I, a student nurse encountered whilst on my second clinical placement in my first year of study. The event took place in a Fountain Nursing Home in Granite City. I have chosen to give thought to the event described in this essay as I feel that it highlights the need for nurses to have effective communication skills especially when treating patients that are suffering with a mental illness. Upon arriving to the Nursing home for the second time on Thursday November 14,2013; assigned the same patient as before. On meeting my patient the first thing I noticed myself doing without even thinking about it was giving her a visual inspection. Before nursing school I never really looked at

I have confirmed with Riverbend that Mrs. Houlihan has continued to remain stable. Nursing staff is able to identify when she may be developing unrelated health issues and curtail un-needed hospital stays. She continues to benefit from the daily therapies and close supervision she is receiving at Riverbend. Due to the consistent outcomes, I spoke with Ms. Runnells and we agree at this time nurse case management is not required. I have updated Riverbend and they have been provided all of the contact information for Ms. Runnells.

This is because Suzan appears to be inclined to collaborate with the nurse to make contact with various inter-disciplinary caregivers that would be able to provide her with the care and support that she requires in order for her mental health to be improved. I also believe this goal will be easy to achieve because despite the possibility of Suzan’s sister not being able to care for her daughters if and when she decides to check herself into the District Hospital, there are other options for child care in which the nurse can help her look into and possibly facilitate. Moreover, when reviewing which of Suzan’s health practices will require accommodation, it is apparent that those associated with facilitating her access and utilization of the various support services in which her nurse plans to contact for her may have to be adapted. This is because although she may have told her nurse that she is willing to talk to the various professionals whom these services employ, she may reach a point in time in which she is too nervous to do so in fear that John may discover what she is doing and lash out at her. Therefore, the nurse must work with Suzan to ensure that she is willing and ready to access these services. From here, if she wants to proceed connecting with those who can help her, the nurse

This essay will focus on a patient in the community environment. It will first provide an overview of factors such as social, psychological and physiological from the past and present will be demonstrated and how nursing intervention were implemented. It will provide a comprehensive assessment of care to identify the patient’s needs and make plans on how to provide good quality care to the patient, as it is emphasised by the Nursing and Midwifery Code of conduct (NMC, 2015) ‘Make the care of people your first concern, treating them as individual and respecting their dignity’. Furthermore, it will discuss how the role of a nurse promotes autonomy, independence and self-care which encourages and empower the patient to share decision about their treatment and care (NMC, 2015).

Mental health is a sense of wellness that an individual has; it is influenced by multiple factors such as support system, personal cultural beliefs, family, and biological influences. Being mentally healthy gives us the ability to grow cognitively, communicate, contribute to society, work productively, and cope with stress (Halter, 2014). When we are unable to cope with stressful events in life, it prevents us from having a meaningful learning experience. Anxiety is a universal emotion that exists in everyone; it is highly individualized and no two people experience them exactly the same. Anxiety can be brought on by something simple such as remembering if you locked the door before you left the house in the morning, or speaking in front of a large group of people. A mentally healthy adult is able to cope with anxiety because they have learned from their past experiences and have grown from them. We progressively grow cognitively as we age and we learn from stressful experiences throughout life, but what about young children? Children develop at their own pace and may lack the cognitive ability to understand why they feel a certain way. Due to their young age, they do not have a large collection of life experiences to help them get through stressful situations. The purpose of this paper is to explore how young children diagnosed with an anxiety disorder respond to Cognitive Behavioral Therapies compared to Metacognitive Therapy.
