Caring for the Whole Patient

Why Mental Health Matters in Nursing
Mental health is an integral—and essential—part of the nursing assessment process: • Domains of psycho‐social and mental health assessment
common to the most frequently applied domains of nursing assessment.
Mental health issues influence and intersect with other disease and illness processes:• Recovery times• Immune function• Nutrition, mobility, and activity• Sleep disruptions• Medication effects and interactions.
10
Why Mental Health Matters in Nursing
Interactions between nurse and patient are important: • Fostering the therapeutic and trusting patient/nurse
relationship• Ethical and legal obligations• Listening for crisis clues.
Key areas to assess include:• Substance use• Intimate partner violence • Depression• Suicidality.
