ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to provide working examples of decision-making that you the
reader, whether a student, qualified nurse or educationalist, can use to enhance practice.
The reflective exercises aim to develop skills, knowledge and confidence. The examples
described are complex in nature to allow you to understand the influencers that are
intrinsic to mental health care. Although the scenarios are drawn from real clinical
experiences the details within all scenarios are purely for training purposes and service
user/patient confidentiality has been maintained throughout.
