I feel less nervous and more confident knowing the roles of nurses and what to expect from people with psychosis and their families.
Since those with mental illness are at high-risk of illness, I would actively engage in assessments, intervention and treatment. Also, as I now know that the family burden can be quite severe, I would also monitor their physical and mental status.
