is no usage of substances traces found in blood stream of Mr. Peter. Among this, it has been also
concluded that there is family history of bipolar disease. As indicated by creator Chatterjee,
Malathesh Barikar and Mukherjee, (2020), it has been finished up through numerous
investigations that Mental wellbeing is a difficult issue which can lead an individual to mortality.
As it builds the degree of stress and can initiate the likelihood of self-destructive inclinations.
The upgrades to emotional wellness framework changed and organized and the philosophies

(Mukhtar, 2020). A portion of the main considerations are mourning serious or long haul
pressure, having a drawn out actual ailment, joblessness or losing your employment, vagrancy or
helpless lodging and numerous other. To diminish the effect of every one of these factor the
appropriate consideration and help ought to be given by the experts as these patients are destined

to have consideration and an individual who can comprehend their necessities and their essential
fluctuating emotions.
Assessment care plan for acute Bipolar patients
There are number of mood disorders which are being categorized as a mental health
illness. As it can affect an individual and cause number of health issues which are more worst
than physical health issue causes. As per studies, mental illness is termed to be more serious
because illness have enough potential to lead a person to under go in conflicted situation. An
individual termed to explore the situation and episode of moods (Sharma & Sharma, 2017)
Conflict-ion in psychology can be defined as when an individual face number of problem in
deciding what is real and what is virtual. As it is the beginning of mental distress. Bipolar is also
termed t be mental illness distress as in this following disease an individual may feel fluctuation
of mood for no reason (Sharma & Sharma, 2017) Well, apparently as the cases are studied, it is
reported that at initial when these episodes start comes initially an individual can state in
common and usual but these common signs and symptoms turn into Major Depressive Disorder
as well as Bipolar Disorder.
As it have intensity to affect an individual independently. As the mental illness is
associated with major consequences as well that can be more effective and complicated. The
acute care plan of such patients are termed to be managing the number of risk factors and strictly
following the acute care plan as well as prescribed medication. In addition to this, as the bipolar
disease is episodes of moods which can be managed and calm through support and through
understanding an individual needs and requirement thoroughly in order to reduce mood
fluctuations in an individual (Maldonado, 2017) The surrounding play an essential role in the
recovery stages of an individual assist can be helpful to cope up with histories and memorise
which are runs in their mind.
In addition this, support through nurse practitioner and loved one can termed to be
infective in these cases. It is delicates situation for n individual as well as for the family of an
individual (Clibbens, Harrop & Blackett, 2018) As per the psychological studies, bipolar disease
can be stated as chronic and complicated disease. As per studies, an individual termed to use
substance use, becomes drug addicted and also follow smoking practices in order to overcome
with these complications. As per studies, the consultant state that it may effect negatively to

these patients as it cause intense surrounding to an individual so eventually they become addicted
to particular drug.
In this role of health practitioners becomes challenging and becomes difficult to handle
and stable these individuals (Grindrod & Nagge, 2019) The main reason behind this following
theory which can be considered is due to fluctuation in stress level along with blood pressure
tend to feel an individual to undergo with these following signs.
Environment
The role of environment termed to be essential in these disease. The environment of
hospice are termed to be calm, supportive, helpful and ready to provide assist quality of acre to
an individual on one call of a patients. The numerous of resources as well as trained
professionals who are present there to serve their duties to enhance the recovery stage of patients.
The support can be given to a patients through verbal speech, counselling, through actions.
Bipolar disease mainly effect the mind of a patients in order to minimization of this effect
number of social activities are conducted to make social and familiar to each person kin a
hospice (Sharma & Sharma, 2017) The incorporating consumers opinion into the quality of
mental health services is upgrading and growing globally. As it came the top most priority
among the mental health professionals including poly markers.
Along with this factors mental health are termed to limited empirical evidences in regards
with view of consumers. The Mr Peter, faced a lot issues regarding the mental issues. The earlier
stages as ignored by her until and unless it turn to become vital for her. As the injections which
were assist to her by professional were worked efficiently and resistance has been found in her
case. She also hate going in a chamber in which she stay in hospice as well. The professionals do
care about her sessions of moods, episodes of anxieties, fear of people as well. In addition, the
acute care plan also involve the strategy in which a patients can develop his or her skills that can
creative. In order to control the mood fluctuations, a patients should be involve in activities such
as writing, painting and so on.
Prioritize criteria and nursing interventions
Acute Bipolar patients among the vulnerable number of healthy people debits high and
quality of care which are either absent or should need to be understand. As the learning of these
mental distress are termed to be less globally. As the Mr. Peter, suffered high risk factors and
serve a long time sickness of Bipolar disease. The effects on him are chronic and complicated in

which role health practitioners becomes vital and critical. Well, as per studies it is determined
that the self care is essential in thee well beings (Novick & Swartz, 2019) As the training was
significant to the staff and members because it concluded the major facts which helped to deal
chronic issues which were faced by them.
As the infection were spreading all over the city and thousand of people were facing a lot
of problems in order to aware them the significant use of Self Care policy has been introduced to
them. The number of inspectors found that the health has a comprehensive infection and
prevention including control policies in relation to standard are being demonstration to the large
majority of people of a environment. Diagnosis of such chronic and complicated disease
contains number of essential factors and also considerer step which should be mandatory to
follow. In order to reduce the effect of mental distress. As this does not meet the criteria for
another mental illness or psychiatric disorder.
According to studies, Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Bipolar Disorder (BDD)
determined to examine the serious symptoms f an individual in which bipolar depressive disorder
can include one or more than one manic signs or hypo manic in considerer to be mandatory
symptoms. Decreased duration of sleeping hours, easily get distracted, restlessness, tearfulness
reckless behaviour increased in activity, excessive risky, racing thoughts are to be managed by
health care professionals. Through providing mental support to these individuals can be helpful.
As per the studies, two interventions which should be followed in respect to these outcomes in
order to minimization po these effects. The asses level of suicide precautions are termed to be
mandatory(Uguz,2017)
.
Psycho-Social Aspects Of Care Specific
Key to psychological is psychological functioning which may incorporated with various
elements such as social, personal and policies such as self acre, self centred policies. The patients
may require psychological treatment in order to dominant the current status of disease as it may
take a proper amount of care as well in regards with following disease.
According to studies, the social training skills have potential to eliminate distress if time
is given to them ton heal and cope up with the following disease (Sharma & Sharma, 2017) As
the training program since it may provided to offer number of opportunities to adapt the

situation, develop any new skill formulate the new skill in order to distract mood fluctuations and
bolstered social support.
As in the case of Mr. Peter he duffers with signs like appropriately, appears low in mood
and flat affect, has pressured speech, low tone of voice, alert and oriented to time, place and
people during assessment. He appears very anxious and has difficulties in concentration during
communication. In this case another obstacles that can term to low speech, through social policy.
Hence it can recovers.
Biological Treatments
The biological treatment that can be carry forward through physical exam. Through with
this help a health practitioner will able to understand the core of problem and medical problems
as well (Maldonado, 2017) Psychiatric assessment is test which can-induce to attain knowledge
of person's emotional perspectives, views and opinion as well as behaviour pattern. Developing
Mood chart and criteria of bipolar disorder are tend to determine.
The mandatory treatment which have b=to involve are medications, continued treatments,
programs of day treatments, substance abuse treatment and if the signs and affects appear to be
major, health practitioner recommends them to settle in hospitals. The course of medicines are
also mentioned which are mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, antidepressants, antidepressant-
antipsychotic, anti anxiety pills are generally recommend to intake in daily basis or as per the
consultant prescribe (Maldonado, 2017) Various therapies also play an essential role in order to
overcome from these chronic diseases. Therapies such as interpersonal and social rhythm therapy
(IPSRT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psycho-educational, Family Focused therapy
and so on. As the counsellor also play an role of companion to overcome.
critical review of the experience of care and expected outcomes
As number of challenges arise in the taking acute and quality acre of bipolar patients.
The person tend to fell number of symptoms . Also its is experienced that depression is most
common associated disease of bipolar disease (Grindrod & Nagge, 2019) Depression is a
mental disease which can lead to serious causes. Mainly it is refereed as mood disorder.
According to view, the estimates that 8.1 percent of American adults ages over 20 and over.
There are ample of reason one can feel depressed. Since, every living being different in their own
way and every person feel depressed in different way. Although, its fairly common at several age
to observe like this. It also interfere with daily lifestyle and activities, and the result of this

infatuation can effect a person's chronic health condition, lower productivity ,lost of time and
goal as well. in young age, most common disease termed to be depression due high intakes of
drugs, stress, smoking etc. (Sharma & Sharma, 2017)
As a nurse, I experienced uncertain challenges while performing my duty. As the patients
becomes unexpected and able to reveal any kind of mood in respect to any situation. The quality
of care and assistance given to him to cope up with distress. As it is time taking process and can
take time to heal (Clibbens, Harrop & Blackett, 2018) As per my experience, There are certain
risk factors which may promote mental illness and can effect individual daily routine and may
affect his/her life are concluded as the issue of disorders may be hereditary, blood relatives such
as parents or siblings. The stress is significant factor that is able to cause illness, so it is
determined that stressful life such as financial problems, divorce, a trauma of death of loved
one's can cause illness. A study conclude that diabetic patients are much likely to deal with
mental disorders. Brain injuries or damage, military combat or any assault can cause illness. The
main work in this following campaign to spread great learning and knowledge in regards with
depression. Hence it may lead an individual to chronic health issues. As per the study concluded
(Uguz,2017), diabetic patients are much likely to deal with mental disorders. Brain injuries or
damage, military combat or any assault can cause illness.
CONCLUSION
The acute care plan should be organised and managed and should be determine through
the based on conditions of health of an individual as it will beneficial for patients health
outcomes. Mental illness have enough potential to affect the well being of a person. It debits
enough potential to hit psychological pathway of person's mind. This can effect number of
patients. There can be several intervention that demonstrate method to improve and prevent the
causes de. Strengthen health centres, satellite centres, group discussions as well. The depression
campaign can generated innovative idea in which an individual can reduce self-doubt feeling and
able learn about self-worth.
