There are advantages and disadvantages to this new world in nursing. Different levels of nursing use the data obtained differently. The data obtained isn’t always clean data so the evidence isn’t always 100% reliable.

Mental health professionals practice active listening and encourage the client to express their feelings. Mental health counselors develop and implement treatment plans based on the client’s physical or mental condition.

Services available to a patient with a dual diagnosis are often restricted due to their co-morbid disorder, until this disorder is treated they are unable to access these particular services (Drake, Essock, Shaner, Carey, Minkoff, Kola et al, 2001).
