Patient teaching question

I hope you guys can help me.

As a project we are suppose to do a entire months teaching plan and paper for a patient who is admitted to the mental health unit.

My patient is bipolar and I am teaching about stress, anxiety and relapse. What my problem is I am having problems thinking of

other ways to sit down with him and present to him a way to teach him. I do have one paper that talks about stress and that has him discuss with the nurse ways he relieves his stress. Can anyone else help me

with ideas to present to the patient?

Thank you so much!

The first step is to assess what the patient already knows. I'd also want to assess the patient's understanding of what stress is, and their ability to identify stressors.

Well he has had bipolar for many years now.

Another student is teaching about his disorder.

That is part of my teaching about identifying

"good stress and bad stress" I picked up some information

at the hospitals that we can use. I am just

having a hard time presenting it to the patient.

It is more of like a work sheet for him it has a question

like "What in your life is good stress" then it asks

about "how do you control or relieve your stress"

Then the patient and nurse would talk about it.

I am looking for different ideas how to discuss things

as anxiety and such so its not all the same teaching

style to help keep him interested
