Psychotic behavior:
Patient counseling
(Signs & Symptoms: A 2-in-1 Reference for Nurses)
Encourage the patient to become involved in structured activities. However, if he’s nonverbal or incoherent, make sure to spend time with him. For example, sit or walk with him, or talk about the day, the season, the weather, or other concrete topics. Avoid making time commitments that you can’t keep: This will only upset the patient and cause him to withdraw more.
