English Nursing process applied to a patient with mental alteration for the use of psychoactive substances: First Interventions

Abstract

The nursing process delineates the case of a male patient afflicted with mental disorders due to the ingestion of psychoactive substances, with a diagnosis of 6C40 according to the International Classification of Diseases 11. The implementation of care aimed to enhance the patient's quality of life, with the objective of evaluating the level of delirium utilizing indicators from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC, 2024). The methodology encompassed an assessment guided by the Marjory Gordon model and a diagnostic planning process facilitated by the Clinical Reasoning Network and NANDA 2021-2023.The results of this assessment indicated a reduction in the severity of delirium following the implementation of interventions aligning with clinical practice guidelines and the Classification of Nursing Interventions (NIC).Consequently, it can be concluded that the interventions administered were effective in enhancing cognitive functions, thereby suggesting a potential enhancement in the patient's quality of life, contingent upon the incorporation of supplementary interventions.
