Example text
The psychiatric nurse should return to the original topic after the patient completes their thought. Nursing Barriers to Communication A psychiatric patient may display bizarre behavior during a psychiatric episode. Bizarre behavior can invoke a nontherapeutic response from the psychiatric nurse when the psychiatric nurse reacts intuitively to the patient’s bizarre behavior and sends an inappropriate nonverbal message to the patient. It is important that the psychiatric nurse avoid responses that are barriers to effective therapeutic communication.
If the patient is not competent to give consent, then the psychiatrist may commit the patient. If the patient remains incompetent after treatment, then a judge will likely appoint a guardian for the patient until the patient is deemed competent by a psychiatrist. It is important to understand that a patient can be competent even if the patient has been committed to the hospital by a judge. Commitment means that the patient is a danger to themself, others, or property and does not mean that the patient is incompetent.
Restate what the patient is saying. Ask the patient to validate your understanding of the message. • Request the patient to clarify any points that are unclear to you. • Observe the patient’s nonverbal communication. • Provide appropriate feedback to the patient. Process Recording A process recording is a document that contains a verbatim record of the conversation between the psychiatric nurse and the patient and is used by the psychiatric nurse to assess if the conversation was therapeutic or not.
