Describe the clinical presentation of a client with narcissistic personality disorder

Delusions Initially, the nurse assesses the content and depth of the delusion to know what behaviors to expect and try to establish reality for the client. When eliciting information about the client's delusional beliefs, the nurse must be careful not to support or challenge them. The nurse might ask the client to explain what he or she believes by saying o "Please explain that to me" o "Tell me what you're thinking about that." **The nurse is assessing the client's delusion beliefs** Descriptions of delusions Persecutory/paranoid Delusions involve the client's belief that "others" are planning to harm the client or are spying, following, ridiculing, or belittling the client in some way. Sometimes, the client cannot define who these "others" are. Examples: The client may think that food has been poisoned or that rooms are bugged with listening devices. Sometimes the "persecutor" is the government, FBI, or other powerful organization. Occasionally, specific individuals, even family members, may be named as the "persecutor." Grandiose delusions are characterized by the client's claim to association with famous people or celebrities, or the client's belief that he or she is famous or capable of great feats. Examples: The client may claim to be engaged to a famous movie star or related to some public figure, such as claiming to be the daughter of the president of the United States, or he or she may claim to have found a cure for cancer. Religious delusions often center around the second coming of Christ or another significant religious figure or prophet. These religious delusions appear suddenly as part of the client's psychosis and are not part of his or her religious faith or that of others. Examples: The client claims to be the Messiah or some prophet sent from God and believes that God communicates directly to him or her or that he or she has a "special" religious mission in life or special religious powers. Somatic delusions--. are generally vague and unrealistic beliefs about the client's health or bodily functions. Factual information or diagnostic testing does not change these beliefs. Examples: A male client may say that he is pregnant, or a client may report decaying intestines or worms in the brain. Sexual delusions involve the client's belief that his or her sexual behavior is known to others; that the client is a rapist, prostitute, or pedophile or is pregnant; or that his or her excessive masturbation has led to insanity. Nihilistic delusions are the client's belief that his or her organs aren't functioning or are rotting away, or that some body part or feature is horribly disfigured or misshapen. Referential delusions or ideas of reference involve the client's belief that television broadcasts, music, or newspaper articles have special meaning for him or her. Examples: The client may report that the president was speaking directly to him on a news broadcast or that special messages are sent through newspaper articles.

Nurse can become angry, frustrated, incompetent when client resists/rejects help Client may view nurse as enemy (client may throw away/hide food or become overly hostile as anxiety about eating increases Nurse must remember the clients behavior is a symptom of the anxiety & fear of gaining weight & not personally directed to the nurse Taking the clients behavior personally may cause the nurse to feel angry & behave in a rejecting manner Nurse may wonder why the client cannot just eat Nurse may find it difficult to understand how a 75 pound client see themselves as fat The nurse may wonder why the client cannot exert the will to just stop Nurse must remember that the clients eating behavior has gotten out of control Eating disorders are mental illness Be empathetic & nonjudgmental (remember clients perspective/fear about weight/eating) Avoid sounding parental when teaching about nutrition or why laxatives are harmful Present info without chiding the client will obtain more positive results So not label client at "good" when they avoid binge/purge or eat an entire meal. Otherwise clients will believe they are " on the days they "bad" on the days the purge/fail to eat enough food

How does the nurse attain self-awareness with eating disorders

Nurses can educate parents, children, & young people about how to prevent eating disorders Including: • realizing that the "ideal" figure in advertisements/magazines are unrealistic' • developing realistic ideas about body size & shape • learning coping strategies for dealing with emotions & life issues • healthy people 20/20 includes objectives to increase comprehensive school education for variety of topics including: • unhealthy dietary patterns • inadequate physical injury all including young and adolescents National Eating Disorder Association 2015 • Getting rid of thoughts that the perfect body will make you happy • Learn everything about all the eating disorders • Challenge false ideas about thinness & weight loss & that body fat & weight gain are horrible/indicates laziness, worthlessness, or immortality • Avoid categorizing foods ad good/bad • Stop judging yourself & others based on body weight/shape. Turn off the voices in head

How does the nurse provide mental health promotion

Preparing Client & family education Primary nursing role in caring for clients with eating disorders is: • providing education to help them take control of nutritional requirements independently teaching can be done in the impatient setting during discharge planning or in outpatient setting The nurse can provide extensive teaching about basic nutritional needs & effects of restrictive eating, dieting, & the binge cycle Clients need encouragement to set realistic goals for eating throughout the day. Eating only salads & vegetables during the day may set clients up later for binges as a result of too little dietary fat & carbohydrates Clients who purge, the most important goal is to STOP Teaching should include information about harmful effects of purging by vomiting & laxative abuse The nurse explains That purging is an effective means of weight control & only disrupts the neuroendocrine system Purging promotes binge eating by decreasing anxiety that follows the binge The nurse explains that if the client can avoid purging they may be less likely to engage in binge eating Nurse teaches the techniques of distraction & delay because they are useful against both binge/purging The longer the clients can delay binging/purging the less likely they are to carry out the behavior Nurse explains to family/friends they are most helpful providing emotional support, love, & attention. They can express concern about the clients health, but rarely helpful to focus on food intakes, calories, & weight

How to prepare Client & family education

How would the nurse address family to assist clients with substance abuse issues

encourage the client to ID problem areas in their lives & explore ways substance abuse has intensified them all problems will not go away with sobriety, but client will be able to think about problems clearly nurse may need to redirect a clients attention to their behavior & how it has influenced their problems. Do not allow client to focus on external problems just themselves role-playing to assist in problem solving and situations clients found difficult in group setting clients should give/receive feedback about how others perceive their interaction/ability to listen nurse can help clients relieve stress/anxiety relaxing, exercising, listening to music, engaging in activities may be effective clients may need to develop new social activities/leisure pursuits if most of their friends/habits of socializing involved the use of substances help clients to focus on the present no the past (what they can do now with relationships & behaviors) support the client to view sobriety as feasible (one day at a time) clients need to believe they can succeed

How would the nurse promote coping skills with substance abusers

• early identification • appropriate referral routine screening of all young women in these settings would help identify those at risk for an eating disorder use the following screening questions: SCREENING QUESTIONS: • How often do you feel dissatisfied with your body shape/size? • Do you think you are fat or need to lose weight, been when others • Do thoughts about food, weight, dieting, & eating dominate your life? • Do you eat to make yourself feel better emotionally, & then feel guilty about it?
