Chosen issues in TICP
Collaborative nursing care and the patient prioritization care are the key care policies
that needed to be included in the process of the treatment of the critical mental and physically
imbalanced people. These nursing strategies of care would help the nurse to determine the
needs of the patient and support him or her in a proper way. Lisa is a person who is suffering
from several critical mental health issues and attending the clinical treatment of Jenny a
healthcare professional for further care and counseling for her situation. In the following
section, the critical healthcare situations would be discussed in a detailed manner along with
the identification of three mental healthcare programs that would be helpful in the ailment of
her critical mental disorder (Machtinger et al., 2019).
In case of Lisa there are various mental disorders could be seen and after deep
evaluation and observation several causes would be identified. According to these
evaluations, three conditions were found that could be responsible for the critical mental
disorder of Lisa and could be highlighted as the main contributor in the risk factors of Lisa.
All three issues were identified by Jenny the responsible person for her healthcare by means
of close observation and counseling that she used in gathering information about Lisa. The
first aspect is lack of support which made her feel loneliness, fear and anxiety; secondly the
addiction to excessive cannabis uptake and addiction to speed; thirdly her lack of medication
administration which actually lead to this critical mental condition of her (Beutel et al.,
2017).
Loneliness is one of the primary affecter of mental health condition and lead up to
critical condition as it affects in the thought process of the person and diverts the positive
thinking of the person towards negative perspective for the surrounding of the person
(Richardson, Elliott & Roberts, 2017). Lisa’s relationship with John was not accepted by her

parents and thus she moved with John from her own house thus the conflict in her mind
started as her mother was very close to her and leaving her left Lisa lonely. Lisa’s mother was
the person who looked after her medication and without her Lisa’s medication affected thus
she developed primary and secondary mental disorders. There are several researches found in
the context of the relationship between loneliness and mental disorder and it is also found that
loneliness, rejection from loved person, isolation from the social life also are the mental
stressors that affect the mental conditions and lead to critical mental disorders comprising of
agitation, anxiety, violence and others. Presence of Lisa’s mother made her inattentive to her
medication and after leaving her mother she was vulnerable to the loneliness and this
situation resulted in her mental imbalance. Depending on the trauma-informed care and
practice principles, (TICP) proper empowerment and support would be helpful in overcoming
Lisa’s mental and physical health conditions (Raja et al., 2015).
On the other hand, Lisa’s addiction towards Cannabis and speed, drugs that have the
ability to alter consumer’s thought process, cognitive strengths and mental capabilities are
another stakeholder of her mental disorder development. In the case it was observed that in
presence of Lisa’s mother she took proper medication and devoid of the addictions of
cannabis, speed and other drugs whereas without her mother the vice versa conditions
observed. As a result, she developed hallucination, falls perception, which was like her
boyfriend John, would kill him and she slept in garden with knife to prevent him killing her
(Kelleher & DeVylder, 2017). Several researches on substance abuse found that regular
consumption of these substances could develop self-consciousness, insecurity, agitation,
violence and lacking self-esteem. It has been seen in the case that Lisa was very much
impatient and talking to someone imaginary as of her hallucinating nature. Based on TICP
principles she could avoid all these conditions by means of empowerment and proper
guidance.

Another aspect was her improper medication administration, which affected her
mental condition and developed complexity of mental health. In medication administration
time and frequency is very much important and lacking which could lead to mal conditions
for the patient. When Lisa diagnosed with mental disorder in an anti-psychotic healthcare her
medication administration was administered by her mother and separation from her mother
lead to her imbalanced medication and thus developed ill mental conditions such as health
inabilities, self-consciousness, anxiety, fear, hallucination and other disabilities. She also
caught in an imaginary position where she thought her boyfriend would kill her and she slept
in the garden with a knife (Newman et al., 2015). TICP principles would be describing this
situation as the inability of her surrounding people of Lisa lead to her scarcity and safety
awareness and they failed to give her a healthy and effective knowledge and environment.
She could be able to develop knowledge about medication and her mental along with physical
health would be better thus it can be said that awareness and safety could play a crucial role
in the treating her mental illness.
Mental health nurse collaboration for the personal recovery of the patient
Collaborative practice among the nurses and the provision of the multidisciplinary
team represents one of the quality indicator of the mental health nursing, especially in the
community level dedicated to the patients with complex care needs (Steihaug et al., 2016). It
ensures that the nurses act interdynamically, interdependently and adaptively for achieving a
common goal and have assigned specific roles to be fulfilled. Collaborative practice among
the health care professionals have been found to improve the health outcomes of the patient.
According to Ivbijaro et al., (2012), effective collaboration between the nurses and other
health care professionals have been found to be useful in the development of a curative
relationship with the patient, the main aim is to provide a person centred care.
