Arellano University-Alderson Broaddus College International Nursing Program Nursing 368- Acute Psychosocial Nursing
Patient: I.C. Age: 30 Gender: F Date of Care: February 9-10, 2012 Diagnosis: Psychosis NOS r/o Delusional Disorder; Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Date of Admission: May 2011
I. OVERVIEW: In our 2nd and 3rd rotation in Estrellas, I was assigned to the same patient, I.C., a 30 yearold female client with Psychosis NOS r/o Delusional D/O; Post Traumatic Stress D/O. On the first day, I found her sitting on the corridor while doing her artworks. I approached her but she seemed not in the mood to talk. She was just focused on her drawing and didnt even bother to look at me. She was wearing a pink blouse and leggings. I noticed that she hasnt taken a bath yet. When she said that shes not willing to talk, I asked the help of our C.I. I honestly dont know what to do. So our C.I. talked to her and then she agreed to talk to me. As we talk, I noticed that her approach to me has changed. She was more willing to talk about her feelings and she shared some private things to me. Shes even said that shes comfortable with me.
During our conversation, shes calm and cooperates well. She responds to my questions and eventually opens up herself even more compared to our first meeting weeks ago. I noticed that she already has good eye contact, but still with mumbling episodes and verbalized that there were times that shes anxious.
II.EXCHANGES DAY 1 Feb. 9, 2012 INTERATION #1: During our first day, the client showed interest in the conversation. She seemed glad to see me again. She shared more things about her life and experiences. At first she was not in the mood to talk to me. Our C.I. talked to her and allowed me to spare sometime with her to talk. 1) NURSE: Good morning, Irene! Natatandaan mo pa ako? Ako si Jeannine yung student nurse galing sa Arellano university. Kamusta ka naman? Nandito ulit ako para makapagusap tayo. Good morning, Irene! Do you still remember me? Im Jeannine, the student nurse from Arellano University. How are you? Im here again so we could talk.
(Offering self: This is a way of expressing a desire to understand and collaborate with the client. I also made boundaries during this phase of our conversation.) (Giving Information makes available facts the patient needs. Supplies knowledge from which decisions can be made or conclusions drawn. I used this technique to introduce myself to my patient and for her to know my purpose of being there.)
CLIENT: Oo naman, ikaw pa! Okay lang ako. Sorry sa nangyari kanina kasi medyo wala lang ako gana makipag-usap. Ikaw kamusta na? Bakit ang tagal niyo bumalik? Of course! Im okay. Sorry about what happened a while ago. Im not just in the mood to talk. How are you? What took you so long to come back?
2) NURSE: Okay lang yon. Okay ka na ba ngayon? Okay lang naman ako. Medyo matagal nga kasi nagduty din kami sa ibang hospitals. Its okay. Are you okay now? Im doing fine. It took us weeks before we come back because we also had our duties in other hospitals
(Restating: Repeats the main idea expressed. Gives the client an idea of what have been communicated. I used this so I could clarify my understanding.) (Reflecting: Directs questions, feelings, and ideas back to the client. Encourages the client to accept her own ideas and feelings.)
CLIENT: Ah. Kala ko kasi hindi na kayo babalik. Masaya ako kasi nandito ulit kayo. Medyo nalungkot kasi ako nung hindi ka na bumalik Ah. I thought youre not coming back anymore. Im happy because youre here again. I was a lil bit sad when you didnt come back
3) NURSE: Konti lang talaga duty naming dito. Hindi ko ba nasabi sayo na ilang lingo din bago kami makabalik? Ano mga pinagkaabalahan mo o yung mga ginawa mo nung wala kami? We really have few duties here. Didnt I tell you that Ill be back after few weeks? What did you do during the times that were not here?
(Exploring: Examines certain ideas, experiences, or relationships more fully.)
CLIENT: Sinabi mo siguro pero nawala sa isip ko. Madami din kasi ako iniisip mga ilang araw na. Syempre nung hindi pa kayo bumabalik nalungkot ako. Tapos nung medyo matagal na akong naghihintay , kala ko hindi ka na babalik. Sabi ko nalang sa sarili ko na kailangan ko na magmove-on You told me but I guess it slipped my mind. I was also thinking about many things these past days. During the times that youre not here, I was sad. Then when I realized that I was waiting for a long time already, I thought that youd never come back. I just told myself that I have to move-on. 4) NURSE: Sabi mo madami kang iniisip na mga bagay netong mga nakaraang araw. Pwede mo ba sabihin sakin yung tungkol sa mga bagay na yun? You said you were thinking about many things these past days. Could you tell me about the things that you were thinking? (Seeking Clarification: Helps client clarify their own thoughts and maximizes mutual understanding between nurse and patient)
CLIENT: Yung mga NBI kasi, lagi parin nila ako ginugulo. Tapos lagi pa nila ako binabantayan. Tapos parang hindi sila napapagod The NBI keeps on bothering me. They always look after me. And it seems like theyre not getting tired of it.
5) NURSE: Ano mga ginagawa ng mga NBI sayo? What do they do to you?
CLIENT: Manipulating me and the people around me. They will do anything para isipin ng mga tao na masama ako. Nagagalit na ako kasi hindi nila nirerespect yung rights ko. Inaabuso na nila ako kasi alam nila na may sakit ako. Theyre manipulating me and the people around me. They will do anything to make other people think that Im bad. I-m mad because they dont respect my rights. They were abusing me because they know that Im sick.
6) NURSE: Ahh. Manipulating you and other people? Paano at ano mga ginagawa nila? Ahh. Manipulating you and other people? How and what do they do? (Seeking Clarification: Helps client clarify their own thoughts and maximizes mutual understanding between nurse and patient.)
CLIENT: Basta parang ganoon parin sa dati, gusto nila iprove sa mga tao na masama ako. Lahat ng kilos ko alam nila. Gusto nila na nakikita akong malungkot. Its just like before, they want to prove to everyone that Im bad. They know all my actions. They want to see me sad.
7) NURSE: Silence.. Paano mo nalaman na ginagawa nila yung mga bagay na yan para maging malungkot ka? Silence.. How did you know that theyre doing those things just to see you sad? (Silence: Gives the patient time to collect thoughts or think through a point.)
CLIENT: Basta alam ko. Sinasabi din nila minsan. Pag malungkot ako hindi sila nakikialam. Kaya kung anu-ano iniisip ng mga tao tungkol sakin I just know. They sometimes tell me. When Im sad, they dont usually care. Thats why people think of different things about me
8) NURSE: Ahh..Sino yung mga kung anu-ano ang iniisip sayo? Ano mga iniisip nila? Ahh..Who are those people who think of different things about you? What do they think of?
(Accepting: Indicates that the person has been understood. The statement does not necessarily indicate agreement but is non-judgemental.)
CLIENT: Basta. Yung mga tao, lahat sila! Iniisip nila kung ano yung iniisip nga mga NBI, minanipulate nga kasi yung mga yun. Wag nalang natin sila pag-usapan People, all of them! They think just like the NBI, because theyre manipulated by them. Lets just not talk about them.
9) NURSE: Okay. Kung yun yung gusto mo, okay lang sakin. Okay ka lang? Okay, if thats what you want, thats fine with me. Are you okay?
CLIENT: Smiles. Oo, okay lang ako. Sorry medyo nagagalit lang talaga ako. Thank you. Smiles. Im okay. Sorry Im just really mad. Thank you. 10) NURSE: Meron ka ba gusto gawin o pag-usapan? Do you want to do anything or anything you want to talk about? (Giving broad openings - this clarifies that the lead is to be taken by the client. However, the nurse discourages pleasantries and small talk) CLIENT: Pwede mag-drawing nalang muna ako? Tapos dito ka nalang din muna? Can I just draw first? Then just stay here.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1) In the nurse-client exchange # 1, I should have used Giving Broad Openings so she could lead the conversation. I should have allowed her to lead the conversation like asking her Where would you like to begin or what do you want to talk about?. 2) In the nurse-client exchange # 2, even though its therapeutic, I should have explored her feelings even more. It might be difficult for her to accept that were not going to see each other that much and that we have only few meetings.
3) In the nurse-client exchange # 3, I should have used Exploring, this way the patient could fully elaborate the details of her feelings and thoughts.
4) In the nurse-client exchange # 3, I could also use Encouraging Comparison, so the patient can bring out recurring themes in her experiences. Maybe she could compare this experience with her past student nurses.
5) In the nurse-client exchange # 4, I could have used Seeking Onsensual Validation, so I could clarify my understanding of what she said.
6) In the nurse-client exchange # 4, I could have also used Focusing, so she could have concentrated on a single point.
7) In the nurse-client exchange # 5, I could have also used Exporing, so she could further explain to me her ideas and thought most especially about the actions of the NBI.
8) In the nurse-client exchange # 6, I could have also used Encouraging Evaluation, so I could have asked her about her feelings regarding the incident.
9) In the nurse-client exchange # 7, I could have also used Exploring, so she could further explain her ideas and experiences.
10) In the nurse-client exchange # 9, I could have also used Encouraging of Perceptions, so she could talk about her feelings and that could lessen the need to act them out inappropriately.
EXCHANGES DAY 2 Feb. 10, 2012 INTERATION #2: During our second day, the client showed also interest in the conversation. She seemed glad to see me again. She shared more things about her life and experiences. This time I noticed that shes more sociable with other patients and nurses as well! 1) NURSE: Good morning, Irene! Kamusta ka naman? Nandito na ulit, diba sabi ko kahapon babalik ako ngayon. Dito ulit ako para makapag-usap ulit tayo. Good morning, Irene! How are you? Remember I told you yesterday that Ill be back today. Im here again so we can talk again.

CLIENT: Good morning! Buti nakabalik ka. Masaya ako kasi nandito ulit kayo. Okay lang nmn ako. Medyo nahirapan lang makatulog kagabi. Good morning! Im glad youre back. Im glad youre guys are here again. Im fine. I just had difficulty falling asleep last night.?
2) NURSE: Nahirapan ka makatulog? Ano sa palagay mo dahilan kung bakit hindi ka makatulog? You had difficulty falling asleep? What do you think is the reason for that?
(Restating: Repeats the main idea expressed. Gives the client an idea of what have been communicated. I used this so I could clarify my understanding.) (Reflecting: Directs questions, feelings, and ideas back to the client. Encourages the client to accept her own ideas and feelings.)
CLIENT: Madami pa rin ako iniisip. Tas ganun parin sa dati. Sinusundan parin ako nung mga.. I was thinking of many things. Just like before... I was still followed by the..
3) NURSE: Nung mga? by the?
(Exploring: Examines certain ideas, experiences, or relationships more fully. I used this so she would expound more about her thoughts)
CLIENT: Mga NBI.. Nanjan parin sila. Nanggugulo na naman. the NBI.. theyre still there. Theyre bothering me again
4) NURSE: ah. Ano mga ginagawa nila kagabi? Ah. What were they doing last night? (Accepting: Indicates that the person has been understood. The statement does not necessarily indicate agreement but is non-judgemental.)
(Seeking Clarification: Helps client clarify their own thoughts and maximizes mutual understanding between nurse and patient.)

5) NURSE: Ano mga ginagawa ng mga NBI sayo? What do they do to you?

7) NURSE: Silence.. Nakikinig saan? Silence.. Listen to what? (Silence: Gives the person time to collect thoughts or think through a point.)
CLIENT: Nakikinig sa akin. Ayaw nila maniwala na ako yung biktima dito. Parang ako pa kasi yung masama sa mga tao. They dont want to listen to me. They wont believe that Im the victim here. It seems like other people think that Im bad
8) NURSE: ahh.Ano yung reason mo kung bakit mo nasabi na masama ang tingin sayo ng mga tao? ahh.What made you think that other people think youre bad?
CLIENT: Naririnig ko sila. Pinag-uusapan nila ako. Akala nila ako yung gumagawa ng masama. I heard them talking about me. They think that I was doing all those bad things.
9) NURSE: okay. Ano daw yung sinasabi nila na mga bagay daw na ginagawa mong masama ? okay. What were the bad things according to them that you did?
CLIENT: Basta. Nahihirapan ako sabihin at iexplain. Wag nalang natin pag-usapan. Im having a hard time explaining that to you. Lets not just talk about it.

III. THEORY Patient, C.I. was still my patient. Just like the first time we met, she still manifests the same thing. At first, when I approached her she seemed not in the mood to talk. She said that shes not okay for us to talk and that I cant talk to her. But when our C.I. talked to her, she agreed to talk to me. She was very cooperative and was calm and was totally different from the first time I approached her. As we go along with our conversation, she said that she waited for me for so long. She said that she was sad when were not visiting them. Then she again opened up the topic about these NBI that according to her are sent by her enemy, she started to have difficulty explaining or verbalizing her thoughts. This was not the first time she said it. During our first meeting, she already told me stories about those NBIs. She would always say that shes sorry that she couldnt everything well because she feels anxious and mad about it. When I asked her about the NBI, she looked at her back and then looked at her surrounding and said that theyre always there to make her feel as if its her fault that shes in that facility. She frequently stops and pause for some time to think for the appropriate words to describe her feelings. She said that those NBIs are secretly investigating her since 2004 and her enemy is the master mind. Whenever I asked her about the enemy that shes saying, she would just avoid it and will say that Basta, kakilala ko noon at kaaway ko na siya ngayon (I know him before hes already my enemy now. She also told me how bad that guy was to her. At that point, she repeatedly verbalized that she was anxious and feel uncomfortable with it so she would ask me to change topic just like before and to talk about something that is happy. But even if were talking about happy things like comedy movies that she likes, she would always talk about those NBIs out of nowhere. She would always mention that the people around her would think negative things about her even her family and would also emphasize the word malicious. The way she emphasized it was so obvious to the point of raising the tone of her voice. In the middle of our
conversation, she had mumbling episodes as if shes saying something, but I could hardly understand it. I asked her to repeat it but she said she didnt say anything. I also noticed that she keeps on looking at her back and very sensitive about her surroundings and even told me that she gets distracted easily especially when there are a lot of people around her. And we started to talk about her family, she said they often visit her and she doesnt care because according to her even though shes telling her parents all her problems, they wont believe her. She said that, maybe her enemy is manipulating everybody even her family. During the entire time that were talking, I can see that shes willing to share her stories but not everything. She refused to tell me the cause of her scars on her forearm. She said shes not yet ready to share it with me and some other time maybe. Shes trying to avoid sensitive issues and will always say that shes mad and anxious and not yet time to talk about it. She also told me that her anger is still there and will always be there for the rest of her life. She also shared to me the reason behind her scars at her forearm. She refused to tell me about it during our first meeting. She said, she didnt know how to express her emotions and all she could do is to hurt herself so she wont feeling anything. She even told me of things to expect when you cut your forearm. She said, she has been doing that for like a year before until she was admitted in the facility. She admitted that she has difficulty coping with her problems because of her experiences. She refused to tell me about those experiences but promised to share it some other time. Irene has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and considering Psychosis NOS r/o Delusional Disorder. PTSD is a disorder wherein the person has experienced, witnessed, or been confronted with an event that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of oneself or others. The persons response involved intense fear, helplessness or horror. The traumatic event is re-experienced in the mind, and there is an avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma and the numbing of general responsiveness. On the other hand, Delusional
Disorder involves non-bizarre delusions of at least 1 months duration. The persons ability to function is not markedly impaired nor is the persons behaviour obviously odd or bizarre. Based on her chart, it was written there that she is physically and verbally assaultive, easily gets irritable, (+) mumbling episodes, and insomnia for 4 days one week prior to her admission. Her sister stated that, Mas grabe na yung mga ginagawa niya. Nagmumura tapos naninira ng gamit tapos madalas na nagsasalita mag-isa. It is also written on her chart that months prior to this duty, shes shouting spells to the other patients and was trying to stab the nurse using a ballpen. She still has mumbling episodes and always stays in the corridor alone. According to our lecture about psychiatric patients, they could decrease or prevent symptoms by complying with the medications and with her since she has PTSS, she needs counselling and use of therapeutic communication. They also need someone to talk to for them to vent their feelings and for them to feel that theyre taken care of and supported, participating regularly in any other forms of treatment such as Milieu Therapy and other group activities, discussing the troubling side effects of medications with the health care personnel, avoiding the use of alcohol and other prohibited drugs, and maintaining physical health by following a healthy diet, regular exercise and have adequate rest and sleep. The clients current medications include: Epival 250mg BID - an anticonvulsant and Thorazine 100mg after breakfast and 50mg after dinner - antipsychotic. She has not been taking medications for weeks now because her family is not anymore giving her supply. Based on Erik Eriksons Developmental Theory, Irene is under Intimacy vs Isolation Stage. According to her she was being talked about by the people around her. Theyre saying negative things about her that arent true according to her. Shes not married but she had a living partner before for 10 years. Her partner was abusing her physically that resulted in her condition now. According to Erikson, she was supposed to have her own family and establishing intimate
bonds of love and friendship. But because of her situation, shes now in the isolation stage where shes moving away from people. She thought that its the right thing to do since shes hearing a lot of issues and negative things against her. For Maslows Hierarchy of needs, the patient is currently under physiologic needs. Proper hygiene is one of human basic needs. As I observed and also verbalized by the patient, she has poor hygiene. She said shes not comfortable taking a bath and she doesnt want to fix herself because theres no need for it. She also said that the NBI are also there and shes not comfortable with it. And also, according to her, when people forced her to do things she doesnt want, like eating or drinking, she would usually do the opposite. So interventions should still focus on attending her physiologic needs. My priority Nursing Diagnosis for this client is Ineffective Coping related to low selfesteem, inadequate support system and inability to trust as evidenced by inability to meet basic needs. The patient has problems with her self esteem after her traumatic experience with her partner. She also has difficulty trusting people because she thinks that they will just judge and misinterpret and hurt her. Her basic needs are also altered. She has difficulty coping with her problems and has negative insights about life. She also thinks that her family is not there for her because her enemy is manipulating them. These factors are the reasons why the patient is having a hard time coping with her stressors.
IV.SELF-EVALUATION
During the start of the rotation, I was really scared. After seeing her reaction when I approached her, I really dont know what to do or even say. Her aura threatened me. But when
we started talking, it suddenly changed. When she explained to me the reason about her attitude, I realized that I should be more understanding and patient with her. She doesnt want to be like that its just that her condition played a big role with the way she reacts with stimuli and even people. Her experiences also contributed a lot with her character now. I was able to explore her feelings and thoughts and I think thats something that I have to be proud of. Patients like Irene have difficulty trusting people and I was able to make her feel comfortable. I would say, I was able to do my role as a nurse and I guess I was able to give her needs at that time. Therapeutic communications also played a major role in dealing with patients like Irene. Since she thinks that people will always judge her, I should be careful with the words Im saying. That may help her or might further induce stress and guilt. I was happy that at the end, she told me that shes thankful for me and that her anxiety decreases and she feels better. Im so proud of myself that I was able to help her and that she appreciates it and that means a lot to me!
A. PROS I was scared and nervous at the start of the duty but I didnt let those feelings affect my way of thinking and of course my role. I was able to communicate with my patient effectively. Though I was not comfortable at first, I was also able to use my therapeutic techniques during the entire conversation. Because of that, she was able to express her feelings and thoughts with me. She was also able to share her stories and opened up some delicate issues about her life. When she opened up that shes sad that I cant stay longer, I made my bounderies. I shouldnt be attached to her, and Im there as a nurse so emotions shouldnt be affecting me. I also was able to recognize
her strengths and weaknesses. I also accept and respect her for who she is and not judge her emotions and actions. B. CONS I wasnt able to explore more on some of her thoughts because she was hesitant and not comfortable about it. She didnt want to share some informations to me because she said shes not ready yet. I wasnt able to think of any appropriate words to use so I could explore it. I really have a hard time to think of words to say so I wont be offending or judging her.
V. FEELINGS AND PERSONAL INSIGHT (MYERS-BRIGGS KIERSEY TYPE ANALYSIS)
Based on Myers Briggs Kiersey Type Analysis, I found out that I am an INFP. It means that I am a perceiver and a judger and adapt to change well and I am able to adjust on a different situation that would eventually come into my life.
As a judger, it was stated there that I live in such a way that everything is organized and planned in an organized manner. As an introvert person, I tend to keep things hidden. I am more comfortable of working alone than in groups. I also solve conflicts in my own way and I can also be independent whenever I want to.
Since Im an introvert, I was able to relate to my patient. She preferred to keep some important things to herself. But even though she wants to be independent, she has difficulty solving her own problem.
As an NF or intuitive feeler, they say that I need encouragement and recognition to do things better. And I am also sympathetic and love to establish close relationships with people.
