Provide a response with depth and detail, minimum of 150 words. What interventions should the nurse include in Susan’s plan of care?
The nurse should implement hygiene, positive reinforcement, a low level of stimuli, and one on one care.

This one on one care would consist of monitoring her, ensuring that she’s free from harm and any factors that would trigger a possible episode.
