The clinic nurse performs an assessment on Mr. Steiner. * Please develop a care plan for Mr. Steiner: * Please utilize suicide risk for your first diagnosis. If he is your clinic patient your first intervention would be to make a suicide eval (Geriatric Depression scale or PHQ9) and call crisis team for possible 5150. (unless you are certified in the county in which you live to place someone on a 5150) If you are letting him, go home, how would you evaluate his ability to walk, and take his own meds? His son would be the primary caretaker and most likely you would have to do medication teaching with him on the Trazadone and Wellbutrin and any cardiac meds he is on. You would also have to instruct him when to call crisis team for further SI risks. What concerns would you have about Wellbutrin and cardiac disease, what about an unsteady gait and Trazadone- What would you instruct the son. What is the “teach back” method we use with patients- include this is your interventions. You could use Bereavement as another problem but that is mostly an outpatient long term project. If he is medically unstable that’s your first problem- the vitals, the EKG the lab work probably would be your first action- he’s probably borderline with that so he would need a medical clearance maybe fluids in ER prior to admission. For the scope of this care plan focus on Suicide risk and write the care plan on that based on the fact you are a clinic nurse and there is no psychiatrist available (this is what happens in real life)
