NURS 432: Mental Health Nursing: Week One

Week One

1    My prior experience with mental illness was
that I use to see mentally ill people as being neglected and not taking proper
care for, but being part of this class as really enlightened me about taking
proper care for the mentally ill individual.

2    My assumption was that RICA it is more
structured  setting for child and  adolescent to correct and treat their mental
disorder and a way to educate them and with the help of medication of how to
behave more acceptable in the society.

3     
My expectation from this clinical is that I will
be able to interact with my client has conduct and learning disorder and also
ADHD by using therapeutic communication to gain trust from my client so I can
be able to work with him to meet his goal.

4     
My concern regarding this clinical is that, the
institute pose the risk of someone getting injured by the client because of
their illness. The children are most of the time violent and disrespectful to
the staff members.

5     
My goal is to work with my client and teach him about
attending school and participate more in class activities and also about danger
of eloping from their family.
