Case Study
Jill, a 24 y/o Hispanic female arrives in the emergency room where her parents brought her for evaluation. They are worried because she is giving away all of her possessions and says she is planning to move to the South Pole so she can “save the world.” Her parents say that she has hardly been sleeping at all for the last 7 days, but she seems very energetic. They say she has appeared to be “in a frenzy” lately. When you interview Jill you notice that she speaks very rapidly and is laughing uncontrollably. It is hard to get her to be quiet long enough for you to ask questions. She seems agitated and has difficulty sitting still.

For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question know as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem.
Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete this assignment. Prior to starting the “Literature Evaluation Table,” complete the following:
1. Select a nursing practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research. Start with the patient population and identify a clinical problem or issue that arises from the patient population.
2. Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT question in your selected area of interest. The PICOT question should be applicable to your proposed capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
3. Conduct a literature search to locate six research articles focused on your selected nursing practice problem of interest. Note: This literature search should include three quantitative and three qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your nursing practice problem. A mixed methods article can qualify towards meeting a qualitative or quantitative methodology.
Articles must be published within the last 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.

Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about psychiatric emergencies and the ethical and legal issues surrounding these events.
The diagnosis of psychiatric emergencies can include a wide range of problems—from severe drug reactions to abuse and suicidal ideation/behaviors. Regardless of the care setting, the PMHNP must know how to address emergencies, coordinate care with other members of the health care team and law enforcement officials (when indicated), and effectively communicate with family members who are often overwhelmed in emergency situations. In their role, PMHNPs can ensure a smooth transition from emergency mental health care to follow-up care and also bridge the physical–mental health divide in healthcare.
In this week’s Assignment, you explore legal and ethical issues surrounding psychiatric emergencies and identify evidence-based suicide and violence risk assessments.
In 2–3 pages, address the following:
Explain your state laws for involuntary psychiatric holds for child and adult psychiatric emergencies. Include who can hold a patient and for how long, who can release the emergency hold, and who can pick up the patient after a hold is released.
Explain the differences between emergency hospitalization for evaluation/psychiatric hold, inpatient, and outpatient commitment in your state.
Explain the difference between capacity and competency in mental health contexts.
Select one of the following topics, and explain one legal issue and one ethical issue related to this topic that may apply within the context of treating psychiatric emergencies: patient autonomy, EMTALA, confidentiality, HIPAA privacy rule, HIPAA security rule, protected information, legal gun ownership, career obstacles (security clearances/background checks), and payer source.
Identify one evidence-based suicide risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.
Identify one evidence-based violence risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.

• In your review of evidence, you provided… (discuss one detail that put this criterion at the competence level and then give three suggestions or ask three questions to move this criterion to proficiency/mastery).
• In your explanation of priority of need, you showed… (discuss three details that put this criterion at mastery then give one suggestion or ask one question to further improve).
• In your explanation of health determinants, you illustrated… (discuss two details that put this criterion at the proficiency level and then give two suggestions or ask two questions to move this criterion to mastery).
• In your summary of the proposed solution, you assessed… (discuss two details that put this criterion at the proficiency level and then give two suggestions or ask two questions to move this criterion to mastery).

Approaching CompetenceThe submission identifies a care delivery model currently being used in the healthcare setting but does not describe the care delivery model. Or the description does not include sufficient detail.
EVALUATOR COMMENTS: ATTEMPT 2
There is a payment model discussed, noting that providers are paid based on merit. Unfortunately, pay models are not related to care delivery models. Please describe the care delivery model currently used in the healthcare setting.
A4fi. Impact on Care Delivery Model
Approaching Competence
Approaching CompetenceThe submission explains how the care delivery model in the healthcare setting would be impacted, but it does not align with the care model identified in part A4f, or it does not align with the recommended change in part A4, or the explanation is not logical.
EVALUATOR COMMENTS: ATTEMPT 2
While there is a discussion regarding how the change in communication may impact reimbursement, a discussion regarding the current care delivery model and potential impacts to it, is not able to be discerned.

Case Study
Ms. Z is a 28-year-old assistant store manager who arrives at your outpatient clinic complaining of sadness after her boyfriend of 6 months ended their relationship 1 month ago. She describes a history of failed romantic relationships, and says, “I don’t do well with breakups.” Ms. Z reports that, although she has no prior psychiatric treatment, she was urged by her employer to seek therapy. Ms. Z has arrived late to work on several occasions because of oversleeping. She also has difficulty in getting out of bed stating, “It’s difficult to walk; it’s like my legs weigh a ton.” She feels fatigued during the day despite spending over 12 hours in bed and is concerned that she might be suffering from a serious medical condition. She denies any significant changes in appetite or weight since these symptoms began.
Ms. Z reports that, although she has not missed workdays, she has difficulty concentrating and has become tearful in front of clients while worrying about not finding a significant other. She feels tremendous guilt over “not being good enough to get married,” and says that her close friends are concerned because she has been spending her weekends in bed and not answering their calls. Although during your evaluation Ms. Z appeared tearful, she brightened up when talking about her newborn nephew and her plans of visiting a college friend next summer. Ms. Z denied suicidal ideation.
