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

= 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

Au-(anal)To-ilet trainingNo-No! Favorite word.My

Shame/doubt Toilet training

3-6 yrs old (Phallic) Initiative vs(Initiate 1st steps)Phallic-oedipal,electra

-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.

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
