rs. Smith is 82 years old and is diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes, and congestive heart

failure. Her two children live in California, whereas she lives in North Carolina in a small family

home on 10 acres of land in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Mrs. Smith has been in the hospital four

times in the last year because of congestive heart failure. As her eyesight and mobility get worse

with age, she has found it a challenge to stay on her medical plan and to do her shopping for the

right foods she knows she should be eating. Mrs. Smith’s health plan, Purple Cross of North

Carolina, assigned a nurse case manager to address her situation. Purple Cross provided a digital

scale and a remote monitoring device that record Mrs. Smith’s condition every day by uploading

her weight and transmitting the answers to a series of questions on a touch screen kiosk. The case

manager also coordinated delivery of Meals on Wheels, providing low-sodium, diabetic-compliant

dinners to Mrs. Smith on an ongoing basis. The case manager calls Mrs. Smith twice a week, taking

the time to educate her about her medications, her activities, and the disease-specific elements that

will keep her healthy and out of the hospital. When the case manager identifies that Mrs. Smith can

no longer organize her daily medications, a digital medication dispenser will be provided that will

keep her on her medication regimen. The medication dispenser will be preloaded with Mrs. Smith’s

medications and will issue a subtle doorbell tone when it is time to take her medicines. With the

combination of remote and real-time (telephonic) support persons and technologies, Mrs. Smith is

able to remain in her home and avoid further inpatient admissions.

Treatment of Psychiatric Emergencies in Children Versus Adults

The diagnosis of psychiatric emergencies can include a wide range of problems—from serious drug reactions to abuse and suicidal ideation/behaviors. Regardless of 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 this Discussion, you compare treatment of adult psychiatric emergency clients to child or adolescent psychiatric emergency clients.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Compare treatment of adult psychiatric emergency clients to child or adolescent psychiatric emergency clients

· Analyze legal and ethical issues concerning treatment of child or adolescent psychiatric emergency clients

To Prepare:

· Review the Learning Resources concerning emergency psychiatric medicine.

· Consider a case where an adult client had a psychiatric emergency. If you have not had a personal experience with an adult client who had a psychiatric emergency, you can conduct an internet or library search to identify.

Post:

· Briefly describe the case you selected.

· Explain how you would treat the client differently if he or she were a child or adolescent.

· Explain any legal or ethical issues you would have to consider when working with a child or adolescent emergency case.
