their patients who are suffering from mental illness. It is an essential role of primary

mental health care to provide certain benefits to all patients who are suffering from issues
like mental disorders and so on. As a nurse treatment can be provided with the help of both
medical and psychiatric care. As patients who deal with high risk of all physical problems
and they also face anxiety so it is needed that they get some special treatment. So, through
this they get the treatment in the form of proper diagnosis. In context with Jonesboro,
Arkansas, 2021, It is the duty of a nurse to give effective care to all patients in order to
indulge them into a mental state. They has the responsibility to provide care to all
necessary care to all patients who are suffering from various kind of mental illness
problems and provide them treatment for their issue of distress. As a nurse proper care can
be provided by assessing their mental state, building up a good relationship with them,
providing them sensitive centered care so that they also feel good and effectively deal with
all their disorders. Nurses are considered as the best human to deal with all such disorders
of patients and can lead a positive impact on the attitude of all patients. Nurses are a patient
centred care who spend long period of time with all patients so they play a leading role in
that. They care for them by maintaining good level of communication with all of them and
respond to all their health issues. As per the view point of Karen Keast, 2017, in context
with Australia college of mental health nurses they are caring for all their patients with the
help of launching an online CPD through which they recognise their patients mental health
conditions suffering from certain kind of disorders.
