Mental Health Nursing: Critical Concepts & Remediation, Study Guides, Projects, Research of Law

This remediation document focuses on critical concepts in mental health nursing, particularly concerning the nclex client need categories. It emphasizes understanding and applying cognitive functions from the ncsbn clinical judgement measurement model, including recognizing cues, analyzing cues, generating solutions, taking actions, and evaluating outcomes. Topics such as collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, use of restraints, mental health concepts, and pharmacological therapies, providing a structured approach to review and improve nursing knowledge and skills. It also includes personal reflections on learning and test-taking strategies, enhancing its educational value. Useful for nursing students to improve their understanding of mental health concepts and prepare for exams.

Upon completion of the required Practice Assessment, conduct a focused review, by downloading the “ATI Individual Performance Profile” Report.
Complete the “3 Critical Concepts – Remediation Document” by using each NCLEX Client Need Category, listed under the “Topics to Review
Section” in the report to identify 3 Critical Concepts learned and or understand better about the missed concept. Use reliable evidence-based
resources to remediate each topic (ATI Focused Review, ATI eBook, Course textbook per Syllabus). Cite your sources (APA formatting not required).
8 NCLEX Client Need Categories
1) Management of Care, 2) Safety and Infection Control, 3) Basic Care and comfort, 4) Health Promotion and Maintenance, 5) Psychosocial Integrity, 6)
Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies, 7) Reduction of Risk Potential, and 8) Physiological Adaptation
Reflection Section – Include one of the 6 Cognitive Functions listed below
Reflect on how the 3 critical concepts you learned, helped you gain a better understanding of the 6 Cognitive Functions of the National Council for State
Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) - Clinical Judgement Measurement Model (NCJMM) - which follows the Nursing Process:
oRecognize Cues (Assessment) - Filter information from different sources (i.e., signs, symptoms, health history, environment).
oAnalyze Cues (Analysis) - Link recognized cues to a client’s clinical presentation and establishing probable client needs, concerns, or problems.
oPrioritize Hypotheses (Analysis) - Establish priorities of care based on the client’s health problems (i.e. environmental factors, risk assessment,
urgency, signs/ symptoms, diagnostic test, lab values, etc.)
oGenerate Solutions (Planning) - Identify expected outcomes and related nursing interventions to ensure clients’ needs are met.
oTake Actions (Implementation) - Implement appropriate interventions based on nursing knowledge, priorities of care, and planned outcomes to
promote, maintain, or restore a client’s health.
oEvaluate Outcomes (Evaluation) - Evaluate a client’s response to nursing interventions and reach a nursing judgment regarding the extent to which
outcomes have been met.

Cognitive Functions

Collaboration with Interdisciplinary Team (1 item) Priority Findings to Report to the Provider

  1. The importance of ensuring the client has adequate fluid intake because delirium can result in electrolyte imbalance
  2. Monitor vital signs is a key Take Actions (Implementation) I need to make sure to identify the priority findings and required findings to report to the provider. I need more practice on identifying the priority. I

Bulimia Nervosa, PDD, Panic disorders, PTSD, social anxiety disorder, GAD, and bipolar disorder.

  1. Validation Therapy is used for clients with dementia
  • It is important to identify the systemic desterilization
  • Another Important one is dialectal behaviors because it focuses on gradual changes
  • It is important to use validation therapy Distinguishing different disorders is not my topic so I will continue doing practice questions and flash cards to properly distinguish disorders. Identifying Findings That Indicate an Improvement in a Client Who Has Anorexia Nervosa
  1. Anorexia Nervosa will have electrolyte imbalance, including hypokalemia, Hyponatremia, Hypochloremia hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, decreased estrogen, and decreased testosterone.
  2. Clients who have anorexia nervosa have a body weight that is less than 85%. of the expected normal weight.
  3. Decrease pulse and temperature Analyze Cues (Analysis) I need to make sure to read the exhibit data more closely. I thought because the glucose level was less than the initial reading It was included, but because it was still within normal limits. Looking back at the question I thought It was referring to the key things that show anorexia is not improving. I will review my assessment skills. Identifying Risk Factors of Delirium
  4. Risk factors for delirium Include physiological changes
  • neurologic (Parkinson + Huntington disease) -metabolic, cardiovascular, and respiratory disease
  1. Infections such as HIV/ADs, surgery, and substance use or withdrawal can also put the client at risk for Delirium.
  2. Other risk factors are older age, Recognize Cues (Assessment) I will review my assessment skills to identify the factors that contributed to the client’s diagnosis and to properly assure my client receives all the help they need in order to get all the help. The reason why I got this wrong was because I did not know all the factors.

multiple comorbidities, the severity of disease, polypharmacy, and the client’s environment. Interventions for a Client Who Is Aggressive 1.I learned that when the patient is showing aggression can go through are positive inotropic and chronotropic.

  1. The reactions client can experience with receiving second line medication
  2. Communication with clients calmly and direct instructions on what they must do in a particular situation. Take Actions (Implementation) When administering second line medications, it is important to note the client’s reaction such as (aFIB), Low HR & and Myocardial infraction. I did not know this before and I will review my nursing care for clients with aggression. Nursing Actions for a Client Who Is Experiencing Delirium
  3. I learned to approach slowly and from the front.
  4. I also learned ways to promote sleep for the client
  5. As well as providing a low-level stimuli room for the client Take Actions (Implementation) I misread the question. I thought the question was asking for ways to promote sleep, not actions to implement for a client with delirium. I will review the management of care for a client with delirium. Behavioral Interventions (1 item) Evaluating Responses of Client Who Is in Seclusion and Restraints
  6. Restraints or seclusion must be discontinued when the client in exhibiting behavior that is safer and quieter.
  7. Regularly determine the need to continue using the restraints.
  8. Remove the restraints when the client is feeling better but assess the client prior to removal.
  9. The importance of documenting at all phases of the episode. The reason for restraints, less restrictive methods used and the outcome, when the client was placed, time the provider written by the provider, any medications prescribed, the client’s response to the treatment provider. Evaluate Outcomes (Evaluation) I realize I did not remember a lot about restraints/seclusion and the client’s expected behavior. I will review this topic in my ATI and textbook.
