• Meet psychological needs as evidenced by appropriate expression of feelings, identification of options, and use of resources.

Actions/Interventions
NURSING PRIORITY NO. 1. To determine degree of impairment:
• Evaluate ability to understand events, provide realistic appraisal of situation.
• Identify developmental level of functioning. (People tend to regress to a lower developmental stage during illness/crisis.)
• Assess current functional capacity and note how it is affecting the individual’s coping ability.
• Determine alcohol intake, drug use, smoking habits, sleeping and eating patterns.
• Ascertain impact of illness on sexual needs/relationship.
• Assess level of anxiety and coping on an ongoing basis.
• Note speech and communication patterns.
• Observe and describe behavior in objective terms. Validate observations.
NURSING PRIORITY NO. 2. To assess coping abilities and skills:
• Ascertain client’s understanding of current situation and its impact.
• Active-listen and identify client’s perceptions of what is happening.
• Evaluate client’s decision-making ability.
• Determine previous methods of dealing with life problems to identify successful techniques that can be used in current situation.
NURSING PRIORITY NO. 3. To assist client to deal with current situation:
• Call client by name. Ascertain how client prefers to be addressed. Using client’s name enhances sense of self and promotes individuality/self-esteem.
• Encourage communication with staff/SO(s).
• Use reality orientation (e.g., clocks, calendars, bulletin boards) and make frequent references to time, place as indicated. Place needed/familiar objects within sight for visual cues.
• Provide for continuity of care with same personnel taking care of the client as often as possible.
• Explain disease process/procedures/events in a simple, concise manner. Devote time for listening; may help client to express emotions, grasp situation, and feel more in control.
• Provide for a quiet environment/position equipment out of view as much as possible when anxiety is increased by noisy surroundings.
• Schedule activities so periods of rest alternate with nursing care. Increase activity slowly.
• Assist client in use of diversion, recreation, relaxation techniques.
• Stress positive body responses to medical conditions but do not negate the seriousness of the situation (e.g., stable blood pressure during gastric bleed or improved body posture in depressed client).
• Encourage client to try new coping behaviors and gradually master situation.
• Confront client when behavior is inappropriate, pointing out difference between words and actions. Provides external locus of control, enhancing safety.
• Assist in dealing with change in concept of body image as appropriate. (Refer to ND disturbed Body Image.)
NURSING PRIORITY NO. 4. To provide for meeting psychological needs:
• Treat the client with courtesy and respect. Converse at client’s level, providing meaningful conversation while performing care. (Enhances therapeutic relationship.) Take advantage of teachable moments.
• Allow client to react in own way without judgment by staff. Provide support and diversion as indicated.
• Encourage verbalization of fears and anxieties and expression of feelings of denial, depression, and anger. Let the client know that these are normal reactions.
• Provide opportunity for expression of sexual concerns.
• Help client to set limits on acting-out behaviors and learn ways to express emotions in an acceptable manner. (Promotes internal locus of control.)
NURSING PRIORITY NO. 5. To promote wellness (Teaching/ Discharge Considerations):
• Give updated/additional information needed about events, cause (if known), and potential course of illness as soon as possible. Knowledge helps reduce anxiety/fear, allows client to deal with reality.
• Provide and encourage an atmosphere of realistic hope.
• Give information about purposes and side effects of medications/ treatments.

I have long felt a special connection with herbal medicine. First, it's natural, Charlie attended the same small college in Southern California - Claremont Men's College - although he dropped out of school to enroll in the Julliard School of Performing Arts in New York. York. Had he been to Claremont, he would have been senior the year I started there; I often thought that was the reason he was gone when he discovered that I had herpes. So, my life was lonely, all day, I could not stand the pain of the outbreak, and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her two weeks of consumption. I place an order for him and he hands it to my post office, then I pick it up and use it for two weeks. All my wound is completely healed no more epidemic. I tell you honestly that this man is a great man, I trust him Herbal medicine so much that I share this to show my gratitude and also to let sick people know that there is hope with Dr. Itua.

My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by dr imoloa and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
