Question

1. On an inpatient psychiatric unit, clients are expected to get up at a certain time, attend breakfast at a certain time, and arrive for their medications at the correct time. What form of therapy is incorporated into this unit?
2. Which levels of anxiety facilitate learning?
3. What might the initial treatment include for a client admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa?

Answer 1

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health treatment. Treatment should instead be tailored to the individual. Mental health problems can vary greatly from person to person, even among those with the same mental health diagnosis.

Psychiatric hospitalization treatment typically consists of stabilization, close monitoring, medication, administration of fluids and nutrition, and other necessary emergency care.

Facilitating anxiety motivates the learner to fight the new learning task , it gears the learner emotionally for approval behaviour

Higher states of anxiety facilitate learning at upper level of intelligence.

The recommended first-line treatment for bulimia nervosa is a combination of nutritional counseling and psychotherapy, preferably cognitive behavioral therapy.

• Medications may also help, but work best when combined with psychotherapy.
