How to undertake a suicide risk assessment in an inpatient setting This educational film is in 2 parts showing poor practice and good practice as a nurse attempts to assess the potential risk in allowing a recently admitted patient to go out on leave. As you the first part, you can identify the problems in the approach of the nurse and psychiatrist. In the second part, focus on the different skills, verbal and non verbal, that the nurse uses as she tries to understand William and explore the potential risks of agreeing to his request to leave the ward. 2. Using De escalation Skills in a Healthcare Setting: This is a training film, in two parts, showing a range of de-escalation films being used by a nurse on a mental health inpatient unit. The part shows poor practice, clearly demonstrating what it is a clinician might do, and what there might be in his response that makes a situation worse when faced with a patient who is highly aroused and distressed. In the second part, simple skills are used which rapidly de-escalate the same situation. When watching the film, try and identify the factors that make things worse in part one and those that successfully de-escalate the situation in part two, breaking them down into environmental, non verbal and verbal factors. 3. How to assess and manage the risk of suicide in a mental health setting This educational film explores a lengthy assessment of the risk of a further attempt by Peter, who has already taken a serious overdose of Paracetamol.
