CASE STUDY: Crisis Intervention and Safety Planning for the Adult/Geriatric Patient

Complete a SOAP Note on the patient. (In your SOAP note: Give an example of documentation for the PMHNP provider; (include prescription details as well as instructions for staff to give medication and monitor patient))

In your SOAP note, design a treatment plan that includes PRN medications in case the patient continues to be agitated.

Answer the questions listed below:

  • What medications would you prescribe? Why?
  • What doses?
  • Would you have these listed as standing orders for the nursing home      staff or would you want to be notified before given to verify and      determine need?
  • Would you want to visually see the patient before having the      medications given?
  • What monitoring would need to be provided after medication is given?
  • What documentation would need to be provided and how often for the      medication to be continued?
  • Would the medication be considered chemical restraints? Why or Why      not?
