-Use Familiar Language When Asking about Behaviors
i- i- i- i- i- i-




According to Peplau's Theory of Interpersonal Relations, establishing
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



early rapport allows the role of the nurse to evolve from stranger to:
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-i- i-



resource person, teacher, leader, surrogate, technical expert, and
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



counselor


Active Listening i- i-i- i- involves preparing to be fully attentive to the
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



interaction
-note verbal and non-verbal cues
i- i- i- i- i-




• including what is said and how it is said
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




-indicate attentiveness through their feedback and body language
i- i- i- i- i- i- i-

,Delusional clients require: i- i- i-i- i- patience and understanding during the i- i- i- i- i-



psychiatric interview i-




-Avoid disagreeing with them or denying the reality of their delusions
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




Normalization i-i- i- Introducing Q with some type of normalizing i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



statement
-two principal ways to do this:
i- i- i- i- i-




1. start the question by implying that the behavior is a normal or
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



understandable response to a mood or situation i- i- i- i- i- i-




• ex: Sometimes when people are very depressed, they think of hurting
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



themselves. Has this been true for you? i- i- i- i- i- i-




2. Begin by describing another patient (or patients) who has engaged in
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



the behavior, showing your patient that she is not alone
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




• ex: I've talked to several patients who've said that their depression
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



causes them to have strange experiences, like hearing voices or thinking
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



that strangers are laughing at them. Has that been happening to you?
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




Symptom Expectation i- i-i- i- communicate that a behavior is in some way i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



normal or expected i- i-




-Phrase your Q's to imply that you already assume the patient has
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



engaged in some behavior and that you will not be offended by a positive
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



response
-high index of suspicion of some self-destructive activity
i- i- i- i- i- i- i-

,-Ex: patient is profoundly depressed and has expressed feelings of
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



hopelessness. You suspect suicidality, but you sense that the patient mayi- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



be too ashamed to admit it. Rather than gingerly asking "Have you had
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



any thoughts that you'd be better off dead?" you might decide to use
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



symptom expectation. "What kinds of ways to hurt yourself have you
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



thought about?" i-




*reserve this technique for situations in which it seems appropriate
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




Symptom Exaggeration suggesting a frequency of a problematic
i- i-i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



behavior that is higher than your expectation, so that the patient feels
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



that their actual, lower frequency of the behavior will not be perceived
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



by you as being "bad."
i- i- i- i-




-helpful in clarifying the severity of symptoms
i- i- i- i- i- i-




*reserve this technique for situations in which it seems appropriate
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




Reduction of guilt seeks to directly reduce a patient's guilt about a
i- i- i-i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



specific behavior in order to discover what they have been doing
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




-useful in obtaining a hx of domestic violence & other antisocial behavior
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




Domestic Violence i-




-"Have you ever been in situations where fights occurred and you were
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



affected?"

, • If patient answers "yes," you can flesh out whether role was being a
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



witness, victim, or perpetrator
i- i- i-
