Hello Students!
In keeping with our upcoming class on Delirium, Dementia and Depression, let's change our focus and begin discussing these three disorders.
Your assigned reading (located in Angel and the course syllabus) covers the descriptions of these disorders, along with the etiology and nursing interventions/diagnoses. What I'd like us to do is discuss our own experiences dealing with these disorders. Think back to the last 2 years of clinical, and identify a patient that you feel was exhibiting one of these disorders. Which disorder do you feel the patient was exhibiting? Why? What nursing diagnosis, and interventions, were appropriate? Lastly, do you know the outcome of the patient, or if not, what do you suppose the outcome was?
If you have not experienced a patient with any of these disorders, please attach a link to a case study and answer the questions listed above.
Remember HIPPA, and keep all information "hypothetical" and avoid any information that could be used to identify a patient.
Thank you all in advance.
