Interventions/MedicationsNursing interventions are important to nursing and patient care because they enable patients to improve. For example, a therapy session may help a depressed patient feel better because someone is there to communicate and listen. them. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, 2009 (NICE) recommends that interventions should be monitored and reviewed to assess treatment effectiveness. In order for Ms. Smith to be medically healthy, certain nursing interventions were put in place for her by the nurses who cared for her. Mrs. Smith's depression had been triggered by the death of her mother; she was referred to the bereavement counseling team. Indeed, Mrs. Smith had also reported that she had missed her mother greatly and that she was also ambivalent towards members of her family; they found it difficult to cope with her as she constantly whined and complained, which the family thought made her ungrateful to them. The patient was also referred to other members of the NHS team, such as psychologists and the mental health team. She was receiving cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) from psychologists because the patient reported seeing her deceased mother in her sleep and was also afraid of sleeping at night, thus spending sleepless nights because she thought that if she slept, she would die in her sleep. It was also planned that when Ms. Smith returned home, she would receive follow-up from the mental health team to learn her prognosis and ensure that she was integrating well into social life at home as well as psychologically. . According to (Given, 2005, cited in Fulcher et al, 2007 p. 7), nursing interventions must be located in the middle of the document......for more depth and take into account the main effects of depression in individuals . Additionally, the author also learned the cause, statistics, and interventions for patients suffering from depression and understood why Ms. Smith benefited from these interventions. What didn't work so well about this essay was that the author didn't have much theoretical knowledge about depression and had never treated a patient with depression before. Next time, the author could improve his knowledge about this pathology by talking more to patients to know their pathology and also by speaking to experienced team members like specialist nurses or nurses. The author will also increase his knowledge about depression, which will be an advantage if he cares for a depressed patient again in his practice or during a future internship..
