@Manasa5000818 @Lozmeow5000818 @MHR5000818 That's true. Learned a lot of skills different from other placements. Learned the importance of therapeutic listening and how we can build rapport with the client

@Megha5000818 @MHR5000818 Yes, when they are not able to do their daily routine it is always important to prompt them. Some of the consumers are poor in doing ADLs but after prompting them they do them. I also have seen nurses suggesting to have a shower if consumers are anxious

@upeksha5000818 @Marcelle50008 @MHR5000818 Yes, competencies are must to maintain a therapeutic relationship. Seen in my first week of placement consumers are not ready to share everything but by the end of the third week and as rapport developed they are ready to open up things.

@ayodya5000818 @monica5000818 @MHR5000818 In such cases, they try to allocate different nurses each shift for that consumer. I observed that in my ward. I felt this is helpful because for consumers with dependent personality disorder

@Jenny5000818 @ayodya5000818 @MHR5000818 Also, have seen consumers using antipsychotics and drinking alcohol. But if the nurses notice them they try to educate the patient and will discuss this in handover and clinical review. I have seen some consumers saying "I want to quit drinking from now"

@nov5000818 @MHR5000818 I have seen some nurses asking questions directly like "Do you have any plans to harm yourself?" and if the consumer says "Yes" they will ask "what are your plans?" and try to get the answer from the consumer. But before all these, they try to build a rapport

@Ramya5000818 It is interesting to see how a general talk and 1:1 interaction will reduce the level of distress in consumers. @MHR5000818

@Ramya5000818 t is really interesting to see the ECT and how multidisciplinary teamwork plays an important role during the procedure. Also, it is interesting to see that the results vary from person to person @MHR5000818

@MHR5000818
Under the article mentioned above, there is a comment return by patient(PD and dementia) wife. She says that hardly few nurses know about the importance of giving meds in time for PD patients. And she says it is hard if the caregivers don't know the importance of meds

The article below clearly explains the difference between dementia and delirium.
