Case Study 8: Mrs. Julie presents with mood symptoms and is at risk for suicide Your writing assignment should: follow the conventions of Standard English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.); be well ordered, logical, and unified, as well as original and insightful; display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics; and; use APA formatting and citation style. Assignment Directions Case Study Scenario: You are a PMHNP working on an inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit. Your new admission today is Mr. Dennis., a 72-year-old single male resident from an assisted living facility. He was brought to the emergency department with physical aggression and bizarre behaviors. Mr. Dennis. has no known premorbid psychiatric history. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with a mild neurocognitive disorder, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. He is unmarried with no children and lived independently in an apartment until 6 months ago. His recent symptoms of depression and anxiety were attributed to his transition to retirement from teaching at age 65. He had worked as a high school mathematics teacher for 3 decades and was highly active in his local church. Following his retirement, his cognitive decline progressed, and he subsequently began to experience progressive Parkinsonian symptoms, including mild intention tremor, cogwheeling rigidity, and bradykinesia. Recurrent falls and functional decline led to his eventual admission to the assisted living facility, as he required assistance with bathing, dressing, cooking, and medication management. He was seen by the facilitys physician and referred to a neurology service to evaluate his Parkinsonian symptoms. Assisted living staff members report that he appears intermittently confused and disoriented and endorses visual hallucinations of insects and children in his room. He was initially insightful regarding these perceptual disturbances and easily reassured by staff. He was often seen in his room contentedly interacting with hallucinatory figures. Over the past month, he has expressed concerns that someone in the facility wants to harm him and that nothing is real. With no apparent trigger, he has repeatedly become increasingly volatile and physically aggressive toward co-residents. At other times he appears entirely lucid and engages appropriately with staff and co-residents. His sleep is erratic, and he has been observed thrashing his legs in his bed on nightly rounds. He is eating well, has normal bowel and bladder function, and denies any pain. There are no intercurrent medical illnesses and no infectious symptoms noted. There is no known family psychiatric history. Past medical history is significant for dyslipidemia treated with a statin. He otherwise does not have any vascular risk factors. There is no history of traumatic brain injury. He is a non-smoker and a nondrinker with no illicit drug use. His current medications include atorvastatin 40 mg po daily and risperidone 0.5 mg po qhs, which the facilitys physician recently started for psychosis. There are no known drug allergies. On physical examination in the emergency department, Mr. Dennis. presented as afebrile with normal vital signs, and worsening Parkinsonian symptoms were noted. The emergency physician noted that he appeared perplexed and endorsed visual hallucinations of small animals running around the ward. Mental status examination revealed a casually dressed and mildly disheveled older male who seemed his stated age. He presented as confused but was able to tolerate a short interview. The speech was of normal rate, rhythm, and volume. The mood was described as not bad, and the affect was slightly blunted. Thoughts were disorganized, and perceptions revealed prominent visual hallucinations. He denied suicidality and homicidal. Insight and judgment were impaired due to confusion. Brief cognitive testing showed a MoCA of 21 out of 30, with deficits in visuospatial and executive function. Laboratory investigations showed dehydration and mild leukocytosis, with urine culture positive for E. coli bacteriuria. He was started on intravenous fluids and an antibiotic. Use the SOAP note template to complete the documentation with the information provided. Formulate appropriate diagnoses and design a treatment plan. Explain what further information you will explore to aid in accurate diagnosis. What treatment management is recommended for this patient, including pharmacological management? Discuss any need for referral. Discuss evidence-based treatment approaches for a client with neurocognitive disorder.

  • Clinical Priority Problems Analysis

    Clinical Priority Problems Analysis Patient Overview The patient is a 77-year-old female admitted on 2/14/26 with worsening shortness of breath and productive cough. She has a history of chronic hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to COPD and requires continuous oxygen therapy at 4L nasal cannula at baseline. Her past medical history includes hypertension, hyperlipidemia, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, renal artery stenosis, chronic anemia, IBS-C, anxiety, depression, and prior stroke. During hospitalization, she has demonstrated wheezing, increased sputum production, elevated blood glucose (284), elevated BUN (49), chronic anemia (Hgb 10.2), and low diastolic blood pressure (116/46). She is being treated for acute COPD exacerbation likely triggered by respiratory infection. Priority Problem #1: Impaired Gas Exchange Problem Statement The patient is experiencing impaired gas exchange related to COPD exacerbation and airway inflammation, placing her at risk for acute-on-chronic respiratory failure. Supporting Evidence Subjective: Reports shortness of breath Reports chest discomfort when coughing Objective: Productive cough Wheezing on auscultation O2 dependent (4L nasal cannula baseline) Admitted for acute COPD exacerbation Advanced age (77) History of hypoxic respiratory failure Underlying Pathophysiology COPD causes chronic airway inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and alveolar destruction, leading to ventilation-perfusion mismatch. Infection increases bronchial inflammation and mucus production, worsening airflow obstruction and impairing oxygen exchange. In elderly patients with reduced pulmonary reserve, this may rapidly progress to acute-on-chronic respiratory failure. Nursing Interventions & Rationales Assess respiratory rate, lung sounds, work of breathing, and oxygen saturation every 24 hours. Rationale: Early detection of respiratory deterioration prevents progression to respiratory failure. Maintain oxygen therapy at prescribed rate and titrate to maintain SpO2 8892% (COPD goal). Rationale: Controlled oxygen prevents hypoxemia while reducing risk of CO2 retention. Administer bronchodilators (albuterol) and corticosteroids as ordered. Rationale: Bronchodilators relieve bronchospasm; steroids reduce airway inflammation. Position patient in high Fowlers. Rationale: Maximizes lung expansion and decreases work of breathing. Encourage use of incentive spirometer every hour while awake. Rationale: Promotes alveolar expansion and prevents atelectasis. Collaborate with respiratory therapy for nebulizer treatments. Rationale: Enhances secretion mobilization and airway patency. Expected Outcomes SpO2 maintained between 8892% within 24 hours Decreased wheezing within 48 hours Reports decreased shortness of breath No progression to respiratory failure during hospitalization Priority Problem #2: Ineffective Airway Clearance Problem Statement The patient demonstrates ineffective airway clearance related to increased mucus production and bronchial inflammation. Supporting Evidence Subjective: Reports productive cough Reports chest discomfort with coughing Objective: Audible wheezing Productive sputum COPD exacerbation diagnosis Underlying Pathophysiology COPD exacerbation increases mucus secretion and airway narrowing. Thickened secretions obstruct airflow, impair gas exchange, and increase infection risk. Nursing Interventions & Rationales Encourage coughing and deep breathing exercises every 2 hours. Administer guaifenesin as ordered. Encourage oral fluids if not contraindicated. Provide chest physiotherapy if ordered. Monitor sputum color, amount, and consistency. Suction airway if patient unable to clear secretions independently. Rationale: These interventions promote mucus mobilization and prevent airway obstruction. Expected Outcomes Improved sputum clearance within 48 hours Breath sounds improved Decreased coughing discomfort Priority Problem #3: Hyperglycemia Problem Statement The patient is experiencing hyperglycemia related to stress response and corticosteroid therapy in the setting of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Supporting Evidence Subjective: History of Type 2 diabetes Objective: Glucose 284 Receiving prednisone Acute illness Underlying Pathophysiology Steroids increase gluconeogenesis and decrease insulin sensitivity. Stress hormones further elevate blood glucose, increasing infection risk and delaying recovery. Nursing Interventions Monitor blood glucose before meals and at bedtime. Administer insulin lispro per sliding scale. Educate patient on hyperglycemia symptoms. Monitor for hypoglycemia after insulin administration. Coordinate insulin timing with meals. Monitor for signs of infection. Expected Outcomes Blood glucose maintained between 140180 during hospitalization No episodes of severe hypoglycemia Demonstrates understanding of glucose monitoring before discharge Priority Problem #4: Risk for Bleeding Problem Statement The patient is at increased risk for bleeding related to dual antiplatelet therapy and chronic anemia. Supporting Evidence Subjective: Denies active bleeding Objective: On aspirin and clopidogrel Hgb 10.2 Hct 30.8 Age 77 Underlying Pathophysiology Antiplatelet medications inhibit platelet aggregation, increasing bleeding risk. Chronic anemia decreases physiologic reserve if bleeding occurs. Nursing Interventions Monitor Hgb/Hct daily. Assess for bruising, hematuria, melena. Implement bleeding precautions. Avoid IM injections. Monitor vital signs for signs of hemorrhage. Educate patient on bleeding symptoms. Expected Outcomes No evidence of active bleeding Hgb/Hct remain stable Patient verbalizes understanding of bleeding precautions before discharge Clinical Priority Problems Analysis Clinical Priority Problems Analysis Criteria Ratings Points Patient Overview — Brief summary of the patients demographics, admitting diagnosis, and relevant history (PMH and hospital course) is present. 5.1 to 10 pts — Few components of the background information are missing. 0.1 to 5 pts — The patient overview is grossly incomplete or the assignment is submitted late. 0 to 0 pts /10 pts Nursing Priority Problem Statement — 4 Priority nursing problems are identified and rationale for why the problem is a priority is present. 7.6 to 15 pts — 2-3 Priority nursing problems are identified and rationale for why the problem is a priority is present. 0.1 to 7.5 pts — Nursing problems selected are not relevant to the patient, or the assignment is submitted late. 0 to 0 pts /15 pts Supporting Subjective and Objective Evidence — There are at least 3-4 pieces of data that support the prioty problem identified including subjective AND objective data. 10.1 to 20 pts — There are less than 3 pieces of subjective and objective data that support the prioty problem identified.
