Reаd this cаse study, then аnswer the fоllоwing 2 questiоns: You are a PMHNP working in the community mental health center. You are contacted by a social worker and asked to attend a team meeting to offer a consultation on “a problem patient”. As requested, you review the chart and examine the patient. The patient is a 34-year-old male with a history of head trauma following a fight in the group home where he lived. He has a diagnosis of mild intellectual disability and a prior diagnosis of conduct disorder. He has been in a group home or foster home settings since age 14. He has no current medical complaints, and says he would like to be moved to a different group home because “they don’t like me and they are always trying to get me in trouble.” During your interview with the patient, he is cooperative and guarded with no complaints of perceptual or thought disturbances. He denies irritability, problems with sleep or appetite. He takes oxcarbazepine 600 mg BID for seizures secondary to his head trauma. He is his own guardian and refuses any other medication offered for psychiatric or behavioral concerns. The team reports that this person is paranoid, verbally abusive and has assaulted both staff and other patients at different times. They also report that he steals from other patients and sells the items for a profit which he uses to buy cigarettes. They report that they are afraid of him, and think he needs medication which he refuses. Due to legal requirements, they have to provide care. They are asking for your help in developing a treatment plan. What would you do? A. Is this a consultation request? If so, what kind of consultation is this? B. Describe how you would proceed in this situation.
