The book we use:
Mental Health Nursing: Dimensions of Praxis second edition edited by Karen-Leigh Edward, Ian Munro, Anthony Welch and Alan Robins.
(Ian Munro is my tutor and lecturer)
Chapter 5: Recovery
Chapter 9: Psychosis
Chapter 12: Substance misuse

-Chapters 5 & 12 have been advised to read by the lecturers to understand recovery and use it to critique the literature. The chapters also contain references we can use, however, we also marked on finding our own references
-Chapter 9 is to understand psychosis and the symptoms

I can, if need be, scan the pages for the writer’s reference. Please advise if he/she wishes this.
Some of the points we need to discuss in the essay:

Read the peer reviewed evidence based literature first about the recovery process and strategies and then critique it based upon the readings

a drug induced psychosis does not equate to schizophrenia..there are many similar symptoms that the client may display so discuss them accordingly..

Recommending various therapies as a MHN or even undertake them yourself with the client…e.g.relaxation technique, meditation

Medication is one of the strategies nurses will use, monitor and review with the prescribing Psychiatrist

Discuss both acute in patient and upon discharge as well…the recovery process is ongoing after discharge too.
