EXPLORATION

DECISION
MAKING
ART THERAPIST

Art therapy, facilitated by the art therapist, is a form of expressive therapy

that uses the creative process of making art to explore and improve a
person’s feelings, emotional conflicts, and behaviors. The creative process
and the resulting artwork helps people resolve stress and anxiety, develop
new social skills, and improve self-esteem and awareness.
Art therapists have studied and mastered both
psychology and human development, and are trained in both therapy and
art. They can help individuals, couples, families, or groups of people
regardless of sex, age, or ethnicity.

Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse

Licensed practical nurses provide hands-on care to patients under the

supervision of registered nurses (RNs) or physicians. Most LPNs provide
basic bedside care. They take vital signs such as temperature, blood
pressure, pulse and respiration. They also treat bedsores, prepare and give
injections and enemas, apply dressings, give alcohol rubs and massages,
apply ice packs and hot water bottles and monitor catheters.
 Licensed practical nurses observe patients and report adverse reactions to
medications or treatments. They collect samples for testing, perform
routine laboratory tests, feed patients and record food and fluid intake and
output. They help patients with bathing, dressing and personal hygiene,
keep them comfortable and care for their emotional needs. In states where
the law allows, they may administer prescribed medicines or start
intravenous fluids.
