Anxiety
How many levels of anxiety are generally defined in healthcare?
What is four
Trying to make excuses or formulate logical reasons to justify feelings or behaviors. (Someone justifies their drinking because of life circumstances)
What is Rationalization
How many stages of grief does Kubler-Ross define in her stages of grief model?
What is Five Stages
The Individuals right to choose
Autonomy
"talk therapy" uses structured conversations with a mental health professional to help people understand and change unhealthy emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, improving well-being and resolving problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues
Individual Psychotherapy
In this level of anxiety, the clients perceptual field begins to diminish, and it starts to affect daily functioning
What is Moderate Anxiety
Retreating in response to stress to an earlier level of development and comfort measures common at that level. ( A 3 year old hospitalized for RSV will only drink from a bottle)
What is Regression
If experienced in sequential order, what stage of the grieving process would the nurse expect the patient to manifest next if they had just experienced the anger stage?
Treating all equally and fairly
Justice
Creating an environment/community for clients to learn how to cope, interact with others, build relationships (inpatient psychiatric settings attempt to create this)
What is Milieu Therapy
In this level of anxiety, the client is unable to focus on their environment and may loose contact with reality.
What is Panic
Involuntarily blocking unpleasant thoughts and feelings (A trauma victim is unable to recall anything about the event)
Repression
This stage of grieving is defined as "a time of quiet desperation and disengagement from all association with the lost entity."
What is Depression
Doing good for Others
Beneficence
Teaches the patient to challenge and reframe dysfunctional thought patterns
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
These are adaptive or maladaptive ways of dealing with stress and anxiety
What are defense mechanisms
Symbolically negating or canceling out an experience that one finds intolerable (A man is nervous about his new job and yells at his wife. He feels bad about yelling, so on the way home, he stops and buys her some flowers)
Undoing
This grief occurs when the mourning process is significantly postponed or delayed. Rather than experiencing the full impact of the loss immediately, individuals with delayed grief may suppress their emotions or only confront their grief after a substantial amount of time has passed. This delay can result from a variety of factors, including the need to prioritize immediate responsibilities or a subconscious coping mechanism. It is crucial to validate these emotions and seek support from loved ones and mental health professionals during the grief journey. It is never "too late" to experience grief.
What is Delayed or Inhibited grieving
Professionals have a duty to be honest and trustworthy in their dealings with people
Veracity
Focuses on learning skills to regulate troubling emotion
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
The most important priority when treating a patient with anxiety or any other mental health disorder
What is safety
Rechanneling of drive or impulses that are personally or socially unacceptable into activities that are constructive (A mother who is angry because her child was killed by a drunk driver, puts her anger and energy toward the local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD)
What is Sublimation
A grief type characterized by atypical symptoms, often presents more intense or unusual manifestations that can be perplexing to observers. Individuals may encounter emotions such as anger and depression even in the absence of a clear sense of loss or sadness. Additionally, they may wrestle with denying the reality of their loved one's death, harboring an unattainable longing for their return, and displaying symptoms like unrealistic expectations, relationship-damaging behavior, and a feeling of disconnection from the world.
What is Distorted Grief
The quality of being loyal and faithful, particularly in relationships or commitments
Fidelity
This therapy may include a dream analysis
