Description of this exam This exam is taken in a highly complex care situation.

The nurse monitors, supervises and encourages the patient in maintaining psychosocial and social self-help skills. You encourage the client to direct his/her life and to maintain his/her identity and fulfilment of life as much as possible. You also counsel the client in dealing with and handling the consequences brought about by the handicap, disability, therapy or treatment. Provide guidance in psychosocial and social function, in maintaining and reinforcing the social network and entering into and maintaining contacts. Create the most optimal living and home environment possible for a group and include the next of kin and/or volunteers as required. Promote the most optimal group climate possible. Observe the group processes and behaviour of the clients. Help the client to obtain insight into his/her behaviour and the effect of this behaviour on others in the group. Mediate or intervene in the case of conflicts. Discuss this in the group if required. The objective is that the group of clients feels they are being treated appropriately, as per their personal needs and requirements and the client retains an optimal extent of autonomy.
