PSYCHIATRIC NURSING Royal Pentagon Rvw Ctr
Beliefs—Feelings—Behavior
Sigmund Freud – Father of Psychoanalysis -structure of personality
Id- impulsive part, pleasure principle-eat, urinate, have sex-it’s all “I”
Superego – small voice of God-conscience-should not eat yet, should not eat yet
Ego- arbiter, decision maker-in touch with reality
Id___________________SuperegoEGO
ID DOMINANT – needs a superego-needs a conscienceM- manicA- antisocial – serial killerN- narcissistic
SUPEREGO DOMINANT –needs an IdO- Obsessive CompulsiveA- Anorexia nervosa
EGO – impaired reality perception (RN will present reality)S- schizophrenia- cant distinguish fact from reality
Libido- sexual energyFREUD - PSYCHOSEXUAL THEORYORAL – 0-18 months
Cry, suck – mouth- survivalId dominantMaternal deprivation if not feed, not given milk/water, not kept warm.
Narcissistic – seeks the Id – I love myselfRegression – return to an earlier stage or earlier levelFixation – stopped in a stage
ANAL- 18 mos-3yrsToilet trainingMom is superego.Superego is being formedChild is caught in ambivalence – pulled in 2 opposing factors
Too much toilet training with punishment will result to a child who is:
Obedient, organized, clean Rebel, dirty, disobedient
1
= OC =Anti-social=anal retentive =anal expulsive
PHALLIC – 3-6 yrs old-penis & vagina-love of parent of opposite sexOedipal-boy loves momElectra-girl loves dad
Identification- boy imitates dadCastration fears- fear that dad is angry at him and will cut off penisPenis envy- girls envy little boys
Dr. Karen Horney- detractor of Freud, didn’t believe in penis envy. Freud said that it is maybe in her unconscious mind.Or repressed.
Conscious- highest level of awarenessPre-conscious- at tip of tongueUnconscious – forgotten
Repression-kept in unconscious. Unconscious forgotten.Suppression – conscious forgetting
LATENT- 6-12 years old Latent- Logtu = sexual energy asleepSchool age – School phobia- 1st time to go to school – Separation anxietyChild is busy with Reading, writing, arithmetic.
Sublimation –putting anger into something more productive putting all energies into schoolingEx. Angry at life, pour anger in singing.
GENITAL –12 years old Genital-Gising sexual energySexual intercourse most important in this stage!!
PHARMA MOMENTS Anti-anxiety Drugs (used also for alcohol withdrawal)Valium Librium Ativan Serax TranxeneMiltown Equanil Vistaril Atarax Inderal Buspar
ERIK ERIKSON

Newly admitted pt- develop trust 1st
-pts are dependent=self care deficit
2
-develop/teach autonomy-then pt will develop initiative-etc
Frontal lobe- personality, learning, judgment, languageOccipital- visionTemporal- hearing, smellParie t al -taste, touch
Sensory Integration Motor
Somatic nervous system- voluntary movementsAcetylcholine- responsible for voluntary movements
- on switch of movement
Autonomic nervous system- involuntary movements -Sympathetic(Anti cholinergic) and parasympathetic (cholinergic)
SYMPATHETIC (alert) PARASYMPATHETIC (relax)Heart tachycardia bradycardiaRespiratory tachypnea bradypneaGI (opposite effect) Slow, constipation diarrheaGU (opposite effect) Slow, oliguria, retention Polyuria, frequency
Dry mouth Moist mouthNeurotransmitter Epinephrine, Norepinephrine Acetylcholine (AcH)Pupils Dilated (dilat when alert) (Midriasis) Constricted (Myotic)Blood vessels vasoconstriction vasodilatedBP increased decreased
Anti-cholinergic / anti-parasympathetic =effect is sympathetic!
Sympathetic drug classifications: A- anxiety
P- psychotic
Anti C- cholinergic D- depressants

DEFENSE MECHANISMS: coping mechanism from stress:
DISPLACEMENT- -------------Your boss shouts at you, you shout at your subordinate.SUBLIMATION - ---------------putting anger into something more productive or +
putting all energies into schoolingEx. Angry at life, pour anger in singing.
DENIAL- ----------------------“I am not” an alcoholic!DISSOCIATION – --------------psychological flight from self. Amnesia. Ex. Rape, traumaREGRESSION – ----------------RETURN to an earlier developmental stageFIXATION – ---------------------stuck in a stage of developmentREPRESSION – -----------------unconscious forgettingSUPPRESSION – ---------------conscious forgetting. Avoidance. “I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t want to remember it.”RATIONALIZATION – -------uses “because”. Has illogical reasoning. “I drink because I don’t want to waste the beer in the ref.”REACTION FORMATION----plastic. Doing opposite of intention.UNDOING- ----------------------show true feeling/color then feels guilty after.IDENTIFICATION – -----------models a certain behavior from a certain role model.PROJECTION – -----------------blame other people, pass load to others. Looks for a scapegoat. “Not me, but them.”INTROJECTION – --------------assume another persons trait as your own. “Not just you, me too.” “Ako din, gusto ko yan.”CONVERSION – repression. Anger turned inward to herself. Converted to physical symptoms.
Sensory-numbness. Motor-paralyzed, tremors.COMPENSATION – -----------defects of the person, overachieve to cover a defective part.SUBSTITUTION – -----------when you replace a difficult role with a more accessible one.
Ex.Wants to go to Disneyland but can’t afford it. Went to Enchanted Kingdom instead.
Defense mechanism: Affects/interferes with ADLHarm to self or others
Behavior Model – Ivan Pavlov
Classical Conditioning -behavior learned-repeated (+)

MASLOW’S HEIRARCHY OF NEEDS:
5. Self-actualization4. Self-esteem3. Love and belonging2. Safety and security1. Air, food, water, shelter, clothing, sex –Basic physiologic needs
LEVELS OF PREVENTIONPRIMARY SECONDARY TERTIARYHealthy ill Relapse avoidanceCommunity teaching Crisis intervention Rehab centersCommunity demographics Treatment and diagnosis Al anon

Anti-cholinergic Dopaminergic ABC PLSE
C- CogentinA- ArtaneP- ParlodelA- AkinetonB- BenadrylL- Larodopa
E- EldeprylS- Symmetrel
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION NON- THERAPEUTIC1. Offer self- “I’ll stay/sit with you.” “Don’t worry, be happy.”2. Explores –use what, when, where, how Why? – Puts pt in defensive position.3. Silence Change the subject. 4. Active listening-nodding, eye contact, leaning forward-show active participation.

Arguing with the patientDon’t impose your opinion.
9. General leads- “And then/What else/Go on…”10. Refocusing-“We were talking abt the exam…”11. Focusing-“Tell me more abt this.”
ABG ANALYSISPh & PCO2-Respiratory-opposite signsPh & HC02-Metabolic – same signs
Compensation: Ph is normal=Fully compensated.C02 & HC03 –same signs = Partially compensated
ANXIETY-vague sense of impending doom. Sympathetic activation.
Assessment: Level of anxiety
MILD-------------------sit restlessly, widened perceptual field, enhanced learning experience. “You seem anxious.”MODERATE----------patient is pacing, selective inattention. Give PRN meds-Anti-anxiety drugs-valium…SEVERE----------------patient can’t make decisions. “I don’t know what to do or say.” RN directs patient. “Sit down on the
chair.” – Directive.PANIC- highest level of anxiety. Suicidal. Priority: safety. Stay with patient. Don’t touch pt. Sympathetic activation.
“I think I’m having a heart attack!”

SUBSTANCE ABUSEType of Addict:1. Nervous -----tremors Give downers
Sx of overdose1. Identify if drug is upper or downer2. Check effect3. Sx of withdrawal
If patient takes a downer, all vital signs are down! If he stops taking it (during withdrawal), patient will experience the opposite effect of a downer. All his vital signs will shoot up! Same with uppers. Ex: Pt had cocaine intoxication. Pt will manifest hyperactivity, tachypnea, seizure. During withdrawal, pt will manifest bradypnea or coma.
Substance Abuse Moments(downer)A – alcoholB – barbituratesO – opiates AntidoteN – narcotics - Narcan (narcotic antagonist)M – marijuana
MorphCODEHERO
(uppers)
C – cocaineH – HallucinogensA – amphetamines
Uppers DownersSeizure decrease RR, decrease HRTachypnea Para constricted pupil
Moist mouthDilated Blood Vessels
ComaAsleepDecreased GI constrictionDecrease GU retentionDecrease BP
State of euphoria
Sx of withdrawal – reverse of effect1. Know if upper or downer2. Opposite of effect
Overdose Withdrawal (opposite of withdrawal is overdose)Alcohol – coma seizureMorphine – bradypnea tachypnea
Detox – withdrawal with MD supervision Methadone
14
2. Depressed - Sits down on chair
UppersCodeine increased heart increase - BP increase, awakeHallucinogen sympathetic HR increase seizureAmphetamine pupils- dilate GI - diarrhea
Mouth – dryDecrease appetite - thin
Stop uppersTremors crash syndrome Depressed SuicideFatigue
