@headroom50008 any suggestion on how to differentiate whether px is telling the truth or not when u just meet them the first time?

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@Jess5000817 @Constanc5000817 @headroom50008 yes. Many clients r comfortable in the facility that they didnt want to discharge.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@lrignredom @headroom50008 wow. Can they actually do that?

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@headroom50008 perhaps their mood and mental state influence the willingness.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@headroom50008 i notice they r reluctant to start the activities, though sometimes they r aware of the benefits.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@headroom50008 but it is difficult to make them do it.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@headroom50008 Social engagemeny & exercising can be therapeutic for px and often make them feel better

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@Safy_50008 @headroom50008 and since they inherit the genes, they are more vulnerable.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@Safy_50008 @headroom50008 i reckon it is a vicious cycle where the px most often grow up in a family w mental illness and is affected by it

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

It is so much different when you talk w/ px longer. You start noticing some unusual things about them. @headroom50008

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@phame50008 @headroom50008 true. It is the beginning step in building good rapport with consumers.

@Arvinder5000817 @JSC5000817 @headroom50008 agreed. Competition is good but it could put much pressure on students.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@Carol50008 @headroom50008 i find those wo family hx often hav some trauma or abused.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@headroom50008 genetics is important factor in mental health. Many px have family hx of mental illness.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@nat5000817 @headroom50008 agreed. Their behaviours can drastically change. It is unpredictable. I wonder if the triggers can be determined.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@phame50008 @headroom50008 yes, having good rapport with consumers can smooth things a lot.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@teresa5000817 @headroom50008 most of the assessment are done informally. I find remembering the details of what consumers said challenging.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@headroom50008 Documentation is very important in mental health nursing. Every behaviors or actions by consumers are documented in detail.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@sr5000817 @headroom50008 I am missing the hands on experience and routine of ward. Mental health nursing is indeed a different experience.

[qqrice @qqrice50008]

@headroom50008 I noticed mental health nurses should have good observation skills. MSE is usually done informally by observing the clients.
