Nursing interventions for patients with psychosis must be individualized and based on patient assessment data.The nurse should be open and direct when handling patients who are highly suspicious.High-protein,high-calorie foods are appropriate for the individual to eat while pacing or highly active.If physical restraints are necessary,they should be the least restrictive possible for the circumstances.Interactions should be minimized when perceptions are altered.Hallucinations should not be reinforced.
