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.

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

Discussion 4- Depression Case
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.
