This document discusses the nursing management of patients experiencing hallucinations. It defines hallucinations as false sensory perceptions not associated with external stimuli. Some key strategies for managing hallucinations include establishing trust, listening actively, empowering the patient to understand their symptoms, helping them gain control, identifying potential drug use, not arguing, suggesting social support, responding to underlying feelings, and developing a symptomatic management program. Nursing diagnoses for patients with hallucinations include disturbed sensory perception and altered sensory perception. Nursing interventions focus on participating in real-world activities, reassuring the patient the stimuli will pass, distraction, engagement, relaxation techniques, a tactful approach, acknowledging feelings, and providing reassurance and encouragement.
