Basic skills in nursing include a series of technical and social skills that are necessary to provide quality and safe patient care. These skills generally include taking vital signs, administering medications, wound healing, mobilizing patients, making accurate medical records, and maintaining effective communication with patients and their families.

As for psychological first aid in nursing, this involves the application of techniques and strategies to help people cope with the emotional and psychological effects of adverse situations. These techniques include establishing appropriate communication with patients and their families, using conflict resolution techniques, and identifying appropriate psychological and emotional resources to help patients cope with difficult situations.

On the other hand, psychological first aid allows us to help people who are going through a difficult or traumatic emotional situation. This first aid includes strategies to promote calmness and emotional safety, and reduce the negative impact that stressful events can have. These strategies may include listening attentively, providing emotional support, helping people find resources to seek professional help, and teaching relaxation and conflict resolution techniques.

To develop these skills, nursing students receive specific education for each skill, both in the classroom and in hands-on learning situations in clinics and hospitals. It is also important to stay current on advances in nursing care and clinical practice to ensure that best practices are being applied and to maintain quality patient care.
