neglect

Answer to Question 2

A
In terms of treatment planning, the psychiatric nurse needs to be sensitive to sociocultural issues but also must transcend them. A central responsibility of the nurse is to understand what the illness means to the patient and the way in which the patient's beliefs can help to mediate the stressful events or make them easier to bear by redefining them as opportunities for personal growth.
