Why does this word have quotation marks around it? I would delete it unless you had a specific reason.
symptoms
these sound more like examples. symptoms of having obsessions would be emotional and physical, such as racing heart rate.
to line up with the intro to compulsions, consider: Common obsessions are as follows:
others or self

from the anxiety the obsessive thoughts cause them

nursing responsibilities
In my practice anyone in seclusion required 1:1 supervision from a technician. Patients would not be left alone for any period of time. I highly suggest mentioning this as nurses are ultimately responsible for patients who are restrained and secluded and around

Such as chemical or physical
referred to as using a “chemical restraint
I'm not a fan of pronouns. Instead:
Medications are known as a “chemical restraint.”
Also, if you are referring to chemical restraint, you may also want to discuss the use of physical restraints that may be used with seclusion

risk of injury
Controlling escalating agitation during the acute phase of a manic episode may include immediate administration of a prescribed antipsychotic and benzodiazepine, such as a combination of haloperidol (Haldol) and lorazepam (Ativan) that can be injected for rapid onset of action.
This is a very long sentence, I suggest breaking it up
misusing
Is this about use or drinking too much? Are you trying to say that clients should avoid using alcohol and drugs? If so, I suggest replacing misusing with using
sleeping and get enough sleep
I would re-organize this part, keeping a routine for sleeping may be reworded as:
...routine for eating, getting enough sleep, and exercise.

Listen to and act on legitimate complaint.
If you cannot control yourself, the seclusion room will help you feel less out of control and prevent harm to yourself and others
This sounds completely unrealistic. I worked at a psychiatric hospital for many years, this will offer a little benefit. In fact, I experienced a patient becoming more aggressive and tried to attack me when I told him I was putting him in the seclusion room.
compliance
Adherence is it better concept to use, it is the patient-centered approach, as compliance refers to complying with a orders compared to adhering to a plan the client agreed to follow
lithium toxicity
it has been noted that there are multiple medications with therapeutic levels and toxic levels
Observe for signs of toxicity, such as lithium.
Coordination of care
Looking for some nursing actions that include interprofessional communication and collaboration amongst the care team. "coordination of care" do not include any action words related to coordinating care, such as noted above, between acute and community care, medical provider to mental health care provider, etc.
implementing safety precautions
If this column is intended to explain some examples of what the nurse will do, share some examples of safety precautions for self harm, suicide, etc.

Four hours of sleep does not sound like a healthy goal, and knowing this number would be based upon the current number of hours of sleep per night, I suggest making note of that when sharing this example.

This sounds like every time a person has a manic symptom they are hospitalized. Well this may be true for some, it is not for others. I suggest modifying this sentence to

During a depressive episode, the person experiences a depressed mood (feeling sad, irritable, empty) or a loss of pleasure or interest in activities for most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks. Several other symptoms may also be present, which may include poor concentration, feelings of excessive guilt or low self-worth, hopelessness about the future, thoughts about dying or suicide, disrupted sleep, changes in appetite or weight, and feeling especially tired or low in energy. In some cultural contexts, some people may express their mood changes more readily in the form of bodily symptoms (such as pain, fatigue, or weakness) that are not due to another medical condition. During a depressive episode, the person experiences significant difficulty and/or impairment in important areas of personal, family, social, educational, and work functioning.
need citations for most if not all of this content

how about reference to relationships with friends and family instead?

this is an example of incivility. I really hope you emphasize incivility more, it needs it's own chapter!
It is important to prevent falls for this patient by having the bed alarm on at all times when they are in bed. Do you have any questions about how to use the bed alarm? (Wait for an answer.) Quality patient care depends on our team working effectively together
I realize this is cited, but this part is completely unrealistic. strikes me as something that a student would disregard because the follow up is something they would not do. the nurse understands the need for the alarm, it was just forgotten, reminding someone of the reason it's being used will not solve the problem, I feel it would anger them further.
rses eat their youn
I highly suggest sharing other common terms, such as incivility, lateral violence, bullying. Is horizontal aggression the new concept? I've not heard of it before now, and I've been practicing for almost 4 decades! I thought incivility was the official concept.
there is much more to discuss about this concept, sometimes it's not an outward, obvious behavior, it can also be very subtle, feeling even more destructive. I think it's important to add the behavior is intended to control, belittle or devalue others. write about the impact on patients, etc.

Performing hand hygiene is essential for protecting our patients from infection. Here is a handout from the CDC that explains when hand hygiene should occur and how to properly perform hand hygiene. Let me know if you have any questions and I will check back with you later in the shift.
I understand why you would share this statement but it is entirely unrealistic a staff member would go to this length, esp. with giving them a CDC handout, of which is also unrealistic to have them on every unit.
suggest thinking of a more realistic statement, maybe a different focus
