    The Faces Interactive website lets us take a look at what it really means to be diagnosed with schizophrenia, instead of the many misinterpreted beliefs that are associated with this disorder. Under the Diagnostic Overview tab, it is explained that this disorder has positive and negative symptoms. As mentioned in under the tab, the two most common positive symptoms include Delusions and Hallucinations. Often times, we might confuse the two, but they each hold very different definitions. Faces Interactive defines Delusions as, “… a firmly held believe that is not grounded in reality” (McGrawHill Higher Education, 2007, Diagnostic Overview). There are many forms of delusions including delusions of persecution, delusions of reference, and delusions of grandeur. Faces Interactive gives applicable examples that differentiate between the three, “Valerie has expressed a range of delusions including delusions of persecution – that people were plotting to hurt she and her family, delusions of…

Sometimes it is difficult to match a person to a disorder due to the various symptoms and traits that they may express.

    Erikson’s first stage is infancy and the crisis is trust versus mistrust. The Child’s relationship to the parents are essential, particularly that of the child and the mother.

    My preceptor had explained to me the process involved in care planning for a patient on the unit, the doctor will do the majority of the assessment, the nurse carries out the risk assessment and completes Roper Logan and Tierney nursing assessment which is the nursing model used by the Louth/Meath services. The nurse also carries out an admission checklist. When the patient has been admitted and the nurse has gathered all the relevant information they will then incorporate the care plan. I familiarised myself with the documents, I will admit I felt a little apprehensive; I was worried I might say the wrong thing or ask the wrong question. As John had a previous history, I had been informed that he suffers severe paranoid delusions. This immediately alarmed me in the sense of communication difficulties.…
