• Restore occupational and psychosocial
functioning.
• Reduce likelihood of relapse.
• Safety is a priority. Suicide assessment
Family Response
• Affects the whole family
• Often has financial hardships
Priority Care Issues
• Safety
• Risk for suicide
Nursing Management:
Biologic Domain
Assessment
– Systems Review (CNS, endocrine, anemia,
chronic pain, etc.)
– Physical exam: palpation of the neck for
thyroid abnormalities
– Appetite and weight
– Sleep disturbance
– Decreased energy
Nursing Diagnosis:
Biologic Domain
•
•
•
•
Disturbed sleep pattern
Imbalanced nutrition
Fatigue
Many other possible
– Failure to thrive
– Bathing/hygiene deficit
– Pain
Nursing Interventions:
Biologic Domain
•
•
•
•
Sleep hygiene
Nutritional intervention
Exercise
Pharmacologic interventions
– Acute
– Continuation
– Maintenance
– Discontinuation
Psychopharmacologic Interventions
• Cyclic antidepressants
• Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors
(SSRIs)
– Fluoxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, paroxtine,
citalopram, escitalopram
• Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs)
– Phenelzine (Nardil), Tranylcypromine (Parnate)
• Atypical antidepressants
– Trazodone, bupropion, nefazodone,
venalfaxine and mirtazapine
Pharmacological Nursing Interventions
Monitoring and Administration
– Observe taking meds (acute phase)
– Vital signs (observe for orthostatic
hypotension), lab reports
– Diet restrictions as appropriate
Side Effects: SSRIs
• GI Distress
– Fluoxetine (Prozac)
– Sertraline (Zoloft)
– Paroxetine (Paxil)
– Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
• Low Anticholinergic
– Fluoxetine (Prozac)
– Fluoxetine (Luvox)
• Low sedation (All)
• Sexual Dysfunction (All)
• Orthostatic Hypotension
– Fluoxetine (Prozac)
– Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
Side Effects of TCAs: Anticholinergic and
Antihistaminic

Hypertensive crisis/interaction with food
Sudden, severe pounding or explosive headache
Anticholinergic
Elderly - sensitive to orthostatic hypotension
Sexual dysfunction
Serotonin Syndrome
• More likely to be reported in patients taking two or
more serotonin antagonists
• Usually mild, but can cause death
• Rapid onset (compared to NMS)
• Symptoms
– Mental status, agitation, myoclonus, hyperreflexia, fever,
shivering, diaphoresis, ataxia and diarrhea
• Treatment
– Stop offending drug.
– Provide supportive treatment.
– Notify physician.
Drug-drug Interactions
• SSRIs inhibit 1A2 system. (Theophylline
must be reduced.)
• Smoking induces 1A2 system; smokers
may need higher dosage.
• Fluoxetine and paroxetine inhibit 2D6.
Can increase plasma levels of TCA, so
avoid giving these meds with TCA.
Amitriptyline
Butriptyline
Clomipramine
Desipramine
Dosulepin
Doxepin
Imipramine
Iprindole
Lofepramine
Nortriptyline
Protriptyline
Trimipramine
Teaching Points
• If depression goes untreated or is
inadequately treated, episodes become
more frequent, severe and longer in
duration.
• Importance of continuing medication
Other Somatic Treatments
• Electroconvulsive therapy
• Light therapy
– SAD
– Light - very bright, full-spectrum light, usually
2,500 lux
– Immediately upon rising
– Exposure as little as 30 minutes and then increase
– Full effect after two weeks

Evaluation of mania symptoms
Sleep may be nonexistent.
Irritability and physical exhaustion
Eating habits, weight loss
Lab studies - thyroid
Hypersexual, risky behaviors
Pharmacologic (may be triggered by antidepressant), alcohol
use
• Nursing diagnosis
– Disturbed sleep pattern, sleep deprivation
– Imbalanced nutrition, hypothermia, deficit fluid balance
Nursing Interventions:
Biologic Domain
• Physical care
• Pharmacologic
– Acute - symptom reduction and
stabilization
– Continuation – prevention of relapse
– Maintenance - sustained remission
– Discontinuation - very carefully, if at all
• Electroconvulsive therapy
Mood Stabilizers
• Lithium Carbonate (Eskalith)
– Mechanism of action: unknown
– Blood levels 0.5-1.2

– Sedation, tremor
• Carbamazepine
Mood Stabilizers
• Lithium Carbonate
• Drug profile
• Lithium blood levels

• Antidepressants
– Used during depressed phases
– Can trigger manic phase
• Antipsychotics
– Psychosis

• Side effect monitoring important because
taking more than one medication
• Drug-drug interactions
