Our psych nurses assist with coping skills, identifying triggers, teaching caregivers, evaluate effectiveness of meds and make recommendations to the PCP or psychiatrist, listening and therapeutic communication, boundary setting, mini-mental status exam to evaluate for dementia and probably a lot more that I can't think of at the moment.

Just out of curiosity. What do psych nurses do in home health? Is it primarily assessments? I would think that patients would be responsible for taking there own meds. Please enlighten.
