Assessment in Psychiatric Nursing

The first step in the nursing process involves gathering information about the client's mental health status, including their history, symptoms, and current functioning.

Nursing Diagnosis in Psychiatric Nursing

Nursing diagnoses in psychiatric care identify actual or potential problems that the client is experiencing, focusing on their psychological, social, and spiritual needs.

Planning in Psychiatric Nursing

This phase involves creating a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound care plan tailored to the client's individual needs, including interventions to address their identified nursing diagnoses.

Implementation in Psychiatric Nursing

This phase involves putting the care plan into action, implementing specific nursing interventions to support the client's mental health, including therapeutic communication, medication administration, and environmental management.
