The author maintains the thesis that acute and borderland cases of mental disease can be received and temporarily cared for in general hospitals. He admits that mental patients are not looked upon with favour by the nursing staff or by the other patients, on account of—in many cases—their restless, noisy conduct. Yet almost all general hospitals must include at times among their inmates some patients who, in the course of treatment for such conditions as acute infections, accidents, etc., become turbulent and violent.

Alcohol-intoxicated patients in the emergency department (ED) can be very challenging. That is why nursing staff need different kind of skills to promote effective healthcare to these patients. The aim was to describe nursing staff's self-assessed skills concerning the care of acutely ill alcohol-intoxicated patients in EDs. A descriptive quantitative survey was used to measure Finnish ED nursing staff's ( N = 1220, n = 252) skills in this area. The data were analysed statistically. The staff had the best skills in the care of acutely ill alcohol-intoxicated patients in security and safety issues. The skills related to follow-up treatment were the poorest area. The background factors that had a statistically significant association with the skills were work experience in psychiatric nursing or intoxicant care as well as alcohol use related training. Work experience increases ED staff's skills in alcohol intoxicant care, but with updating education these skills would possibility be better to acquire earlier in a nurse's working career.
