Review of systems
Ex: physical exam taken by the primary care doctor
Obtaining vital signs, historical review of body systems
Laboratory Data
Blood tests to differentiate between a mood disorder and that of an illness
Ex: hyperthyroidism can appear to be magic phase of bipolar disorder. So blood test can rule this out.
Mental Status Examination (MSE)
Differentiating between systemic condition and psychiatric disorders

Nursing Diagnosis
Actual
Risk
Health promotion (for patients who are ready to go home)
Outcome identification

Step 4: Planning
This is where we will plan on what to do
Example:
Planning to have a one to one sitter for a patient who is planning to suicide.
This always depends on priority.
Step 5: implementation

Mileu therapy should be done for every patient (structuring the environment to affect behavioral changes improve psychological health and functioning) it also includes orienting patients to their rights and responsibilities
- ex: lowering the lights to lower stimuli (they should always be maintained in the least restrictive environment.
Therapeutic relationship/counseling

Is the treatment working?
Ongoing assessment of data allows for revisions of nursing diagnoses, or changes to more realistic outcomes
