    Merriam-Webster Dictionary (2012) defines escalation as “An increase in extent, volume, number, amount, intensity, or scope.” (Escalate, para. 1) Escalation is commonly used to describe the behaviors of psychiatric patients as they become increasingly agitated. Delaney and Johnson (2007) describe escalation as “a linear trajectory of behavioral eruption beginning with agitation and proceeding until the patient is out of control” (p. 42). Preventing workplace violence that stems from patient agitation is an important role of psychiatric nurse, as it involves keeping everyone on the unit, including the agitated patient, safe from harm. There are many training programs available to teach psychiatric nurses de-escalation techniques, but it is still unclear as to how to translate those skills into nursing practice. This study was performed to examine how nurses on inpatient psychiatric units use de-escalation strategies, and to obtain staff and patient perceptions regarding the volatile events (Delaney & Johnson, 2006). In order to train nurses on the strategies and skills of de-escalation, how and when these techniques are being used need to be identified in their naturally occurring states.…

    During my freshman year of high school, I was admitted into a mental facility. This brought a lot of stress towards my family and myself. Being hospitalized is very difficult to cope with due to all the new things that are introduced. In the beginning, I was not very cooperative in my therapy nor in taking my medications. It was a hard transition for me because taking medication meant relying on them now. Also, this was a difficult situation for my parents to go through because they had never dealt with mental disorders or medication. Throughout my stay, the psychiatric nurses ensured that every patient was comfortable. They were also in charge of giving us one-on-one therapy, meaning they really got to know every individual in the unit. When…

    Nursing interventions in the home include assessment, teaching, medication management, administration of parenteral injections, venipuncture for laboratory analysis, and skilled management of the care plan. All these interventions are recognized as reimbursable skilled nursing services by Medicare. Psychiatric home care nurses provide many other skilled nursing services. They act as case mangers, coordinating an array of services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, and community services, such as home-delivered meals, home visitors, and home health aides. They collaborate with all the patient's health care providers and often facilitate communication among members of the multidisciplinary team (Stuart, 2008).…
