http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lecture-4-schiz 30/68
30
Nursing Interventions
• Disturbed thought processes (delusions): – Reassure in safe place (Delusions are based on anxiety &
fear) – Help identify underlying fear (may reduce delusions)
– Acceptance but do not share belief – Do not challenge delusional thinking (they are not rational) – Use “reasonable doubt” – Talk about real events and people; don’t dwell long time on
irrational thoughts
– Provide reality based activities to help client understandwhat is real and what is not – If suspicious, avoid touch, laughing or talking where client
can see but not hear (reduce sense of being threatened) – If suspicious, use same staff as much as possible
8/8/2019 Lecture 4 Schiz
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lecture-4-schiz 31/68
31
Nursing Interventions

– Accepting, non-judgmental attitude
– Do not reinforce hallucination, say “voices”
– Reassure voices may be frightening, but not real
– Help client learn relationship between anxiety and thehallucination; explore what precipitates hallucination
– Provide reality based activities to help distract fromhallucinations and reduce anxiety
8/8/2019 Lecture 4 Schiz
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lecture-4-schiz 32/68

mean.”) Helps client see he is not understood and engages client in improving communication – Consistent staff assignments to promote trust – Convey empathy: “Verbalize the implied”; “That
must have been upsetting.”
– Anticipate and meet client’s needs for safety andcomfort until able to communicate effectively
– Orient to reality; call by name

Basic facts about psychotropic
medications
• They work by altering or balancing brain
chemistry – affect neurotransmitters andneurotransmitter receptor sites
• They do not cure mental illness, but
work by getting and keeping symptomsin control.
