Preparing the Assignment

Review the clinical scenario below and address the questions that follow.

Mark is a 37-year-old client with a 15-year history of schizophrenia. When he was first diagnosed, he was prescribed a second-generation antipsychotic medication. He complained about drowsiness and difficulty concentrating. He experienced a 40 lb. weight gain over a year. His girlfriend complained about his reduced sex drive and ended their relationship. He tried several different medications alone and in combination but found the side effects intolerable. He stopped taking his medications and started self-medicating with alcohol. Over time, he experienced several relapses and his condition declined markedly. He lost his housing and began living in his car. After being involuntarily committed following a psychotic episode, he was referred to the PMHNP at the outpatient clinic. When he presented for his appointment, he told the PMHNP that he stopped taking his medications due to their side effects.

Agency

Florida Department of Health (FDOH) in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Organic/Enabling Law

Florida Statute 1003.22 School-entry health examinations; immunization against communicable diseases; exemptions; duties of Department of Health

What it means

The Florida Legislature enacted this statute to protect public health by preventing the spread of vaccine preventable diseases in schools and childcare settings. The law requires children attending public or private schools to provide documentation of required immunizations using the Florida Certification of Immunization (DH Form 680) before enrollment. The Florida Department of Health establishes and enforces immunization requirements based on recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Schools must verify vaccination records, and exemptions may be granted for medical or religious reasons. This policy helps maintain herd immunity and reduces the risk of outbreaks of communicable diseases among school-aged children. This is important to prevent the spread and/or recurrence of diseases we have eradicated. This statute allows for children to maintain health safety in the school environment.
