For this assignment, you will be placed (virtually) in a real-world scenario that occurs in work settings. Please read the following description of the authentic performance task and complete the requirements as described in the scenario.
Scenario (Page 435)
The emergency medical services (EMS) team has brought a 54¬year¬ old female patient to the emergency department where you are working. The EMS personnel state that the patient was found wandering in a nearby park by a jogger, who called 911 from her cell phone after the woman screamed obscenities at her and then fell, seriously scraping her arm and face. The woman is bleeding, disoriented, combative, and accusing the EMS team of stealing her purse. Her hands are shaking severely, and she is shouting at the doctors and nurses that she needs a bottle. The woman’s clothing is dirty, and you can smell stale body odor and urine.
Critical thinking Questions:
Based on your first impressions of this patient’s actions and appearance, what do you suspect she is suffering from?
What short¬ and long-term health risks would you suspect this patient faces?
Why do you think the patient’s hands are shaking, and what do you think causes her confusion and combativeness?
What assessments do you think are needed for this patient?
Research Question
Mental illness management includes both pharmacological and other therapeutic methods for treatment. Summarize how this is managed and the support of insurance. Is it sufficient? What could make it better.
