Assessment:

Mental Status Examination: J.T. is a 33-year-old African American female that appeared her stated age. She was dressed inappropriately in pajamas with a head wrap for interview. Cooperative with interview although seemed to be a poor historian. She had childlike behavior. Clear speech and is pressured with childlike tone. Mood was anxious mood with blunt affect. Thought process with loose associations, jumped from subject to subject, and delusional. Some interview questions were answered inappropriately. Appeared to respond to internal stimuli at times although she denied current A/VH. Denied depression and S/HI. Her insight was poor.

Differential Diagnoses: 

  1. Bipolar I disorder, current or most recent episode manic, with psychotic features: 296.44 (F31.2). This client met the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders 5th edition (DSM-5) criteria for bipolar I disorder with psychotic features. She had pressured speech, flight of ideas, hallucinations with delusional thinking, involvement in activities that have high potential for painful consequences, irritable mood, grandiosity, easily distracted, an irritable mood (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
  2. Other (or unknown) Substance-induced bipolar and related disorder with moderate or severe use disorder: 292.84 (F19.24). Due to past drug use, she could have this diagnosis and it could possibly be the contributing factor to her mania symptoms. Due to her denying current drug use and a pending UDS, this diagnosis can be ruled out for now.
  3. Kleptomania: 312.32 (F63.2).
  4. This client met most of the criteria for the kleptomania diagnosis including recurrent failure to resist stealing items that are not needed, anxiety and tension before stealing the object, pleasure after stealing the object, and stealing not committed to express anger or vengeance (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). However, the stealing is in the presence to a hallucination as she stated that she hears voices that tell her to steal. Therefore, this diagnosis can be ruled out.

Treatment Plan:

 

  1. Order UDS, CBC without diff, CMP
  2. Start Risperdal 1mg po at HS
  3. Refer to drug rehab depending on UDS results
  4. Refer to psychotherapy
  5. Call crisis hotline or 911 for suicidal thoughts with a plan
  6. Follow up in 4 weeks

Reflections:

This client has a history of untreated bipolar disorder, possible drug use, and is currently on probation for habitual stealing. Her initial refusal to take a UDS suggests that she has possibly used drugs recently and according to Mondi et al. (2022), 20% of those with a mental illness have concurrent substance use disorder and almost 50% of those with substance use disorder have a mental illness.

Although she did not meet the kleptomania diagnosis per the DSM-5, her impulsiveness to steal is likely due to her bipolar I disorder.

Research has shown that those who are in a manic episode related to bipolar I disorder are at a high risk for acting impulsively as there is a strong association of manic symptoms and impulsiveness (Richardson et al., 2018). Also, shoplifting can be a part of the impulsive behaviors related to mania (Torales et al., 2020).

Although Lithium is typically the first line treatment for bipolar I disorder, it is sometimes not well tolerated. In this case, the second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) Risperdal was chosen for initial treatment. According to Lindstrom et al. (2017), SGAs are frequently used to manage the acute manic episodes of bipolar I disorder.

Psychotherapy treatment and drug rehabilitation for this client may also be beneficial and will likely result in a positive client if she remains compliant.

The critical Role of health information exchange in patient care

Describe the critical role of health information exchange in patient care at an organization level (across all facilities), statewide level, and national level. How do the goals of each vary and how is quality of care enhanced?

Computer-based information network in a healthcare work setting

Identify an electronic or computer-based information network in a healthcare work setting. This could be within an organizational unit, an entire physical building, or across facilities. Do NOT select EHRs which are software applications. describe the network’s purposes, architecture, shape (draw the network, showing how nodes are related), scope (e.g., how much of the unit, building, or organization is connected by the network), users, and any issues related to the network’s design and use.

Relate the extent to which the network’s characteristics fit your findings in the scholarly literature (that is, compare your network to typical networks described in published articles).

In the event that you are unable to obtain detailed information about your network provide your recommendations for the ideal network architecture for your setting based upon the literature.

Explain two advantages and two disadvantages of the selected network type for communicating information. Speaker notes for each slide should explain, in-depth, the key points shown on the slide.

What is Nurse advocacy?

Hypothetical Relator Process

Hypothetical Relator Process. HRR is a 24-year-old male admitted to a forensic unit where attends group therapies and receives follow-up for his diagnosis of explosive disorder intermittent During the group session limits have been placed on HRR for its

inappropriate drawbacks in the group. During the first interaction that the student of

nurse had had with HRR, he had been excessively courteous. However in the days

subsequent sessions the client has been behaving inappropriately and in the last

group was extremely harsh and hostile towards another member of the group. The student had to give

monitoring HRR outside the group in his office. It had good lighting, temperature

nice, no noise, good cleanliness and privacy provided. The client is observed

dressed in clean blue pants, a white short-sleeved polo shirt, groomed and shaved. The

The purpose of the interaction was for HRR to identify at least one incident where a

person I can demonstrate an act of kindness or care towards others and still see myself

same as masculine. During the interaction there were no incidents that interrupted the interaction.

same

HRR: “Bunch of losers.” (Using a hostile tone of voice and high volume,

time to leave group therapy)

Student: (I was surprised how quickly HRR turned to courage just because another

member of the group sat in the chair that HRR had selected for the session

of group). “Are you talking about what happened in the group?”

HRR: “Just because I made those guys get out of their chairs, what do you think?

is it a big deal?” (Use a hostile tone of voice and high volume)

Student: “But why do you have to yell at them? I heard yelling and offensive language.”

(I felt a lot of anger, I remembered when my father yelled at me and humiliated me in front of

others). “What were you feeling when you saw that other customer sitting in the chair you

you wanted?”

HRR: “Listen, I always get a raw deal. The group leader prefers these

guys more than me.”

Student: “But when this happens, what are you feeling?”

HRR: “Nothing, forget it.”

Student: “I think I would get frustrated returning chairs to other customers, maybe

even embarrassed.”

HRR: (avoiding eye contact) “My father would have beaten me up for letting those

guys will win.”

Student: “You are able to tell how your father raised you by the force of his fists. I guess

that any young child would feel great pressure when interacting with

others it is simplified to whether you win or you get beaten.”

HRR: “He just taught me how to be a man.”

Student: “I wonder if a person can be a man in other ways than

win or lose. This morning I saw him help when someone bumped into the customer who

bring breakfast to those eating in the unit.”

HRR: “What a disaster.”

Student: “And you helped him anyway. Then when the customer apologized you

He said it was fine. That accidents happen.”

HRR: “The others also help.”

Student: “You also spoke nicely to him.”

HRR: (HRR shrugs.)

Student: “Sometimes it seems that manliness and kindness can coexist in one person.”

HRR: (nodding softly) “I need some water.” (Leaves the office

and directs to the water source).

Based on this hypothetical interaction:

1. Identify the phase of the therapeutic relationship.

2. Carry out the analysis of the interaction through the reporting process.

3. Let yourself be guided by the criteria of the rubric so that you respond to all the criteria that are
