The client denies suicide or homicide ideation. The client is not at risk to himself or others.(Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template Essay for Nursing Students)

Diagnostic Impression:

  1. 90 (F20.9), Schizophrenia – The diagnostic criteria for Schizophrenia include symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, disorganization, and avolition (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2019). The onset of these symptoms affects one or more areas of functioning, including occupation, self-care, or interpersonal relations, to levels below the previous functioning. These symptoms are experienced for at least six months, with at least a month in which, toe or more of the primary symptoms are experienced. Moreover, the individual must not have experienced manic or depressive episodes during or before active-phase symptoms.(Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template Essay for Nursing Students)
  2. 1 (F22), Delusional Disorder, Precautionary type – An experience of delusions marks a delusional disorder for at least one month, and individuals must experience two or more primary schizophrenia symptoms (APA, 2019). Individual functions and behavior are not markedly affected. Occurrences of depressive or manic episodes are brief, and disturbance is not associated with other medical conditions of substance abuse.(Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template Essay for Nursing Students)
  3. 8 (F23), Continuous, Brief Psychotic Disorder – Brief psychotic disorder is marked by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, disorganization, and avolition (APA, 2019). An individual must experience at least one of these symptoms, which should be either hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized speech and should last at least a day and not more than one month. Moreover, the disturbances are not associated with depressive or bipolar episodes, psychotic disorders, or substance abuse.

Reflections:

The primary diagnosis is Schizophrenia. The client presents symptoms that meet the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia disorder, including primary symptoms, impact on normal functions, and period of the symptoms experienced (Sadock et al., 2015). Individuals experience odd beliefs (Boland & Verduin, 2021). In this case, the client has visual and auditory hallucinations, as he can see people watching them during the psychiatric evaluation. He can also hear people and a piece of imaginary metal music. According to Ruiz-Castañeda et al. (2022), hallucinations and delusions are Schizophrenia’s pertinent positive symptoms. They are largely due to impaired brain circuitry, which causes difficulties in cognitive flexibility, working memory, and processing speed, as presented by the client. The client is equally deluded as is things the people watching him are sent by the government to watch him. Furthermore, the client presents pertinent negative schizophrenia symptoms such as avolition and blunted effect, characterized by limited expression and lack of motivation. This justifies why the client experiences a flight of ideas as he reports jumps between those watching through the window, the government taxes, and metal music.(Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template Essay for Nursing Students)

The client’s symptoms also suggest continuous brief psychotic disorder since the symptoms meet the diagnostic criteria and are experienced throughout the period. However, the diagnosis is refuted since the client reports experiencing symptoms for weeks and weeks, suggesting a more extended period than one month. Symptoms of brief psychotic disorder usually present suddenly, fluctuate, and last less than a month (Provenzani et al., 2021). Precautionary delusional disorder applies when the content of delusions involves a conspiracy against someone, being spied on, or poisoned. However, delusional disorder is refuted since the client presents one or more of the primary symptoms of Schizophrenia, and areas of function are markedly impaired.(Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template Essay for Nursing Students)

The ethical and legal issues when dealing with schizophrenia patients include informed consent, confidentiality, and non-maleficence. Informed consent ensures that client understands their rights, the benefits, and the risks of treatment interventions (Wheeler, 2020). However, practitioners should evaluate the client’s capacity to understand the provide informed consent considering the impact of mental health on decision-making ability (Wheeler, 2020). Equally, the client should be assured of confidentiality to promote the therapeutic alliance. Lastly, there is a need to uphold non-maleficence considering the adverse outcomes of antipsychotic medications, which are first-line treatment options for schizophrenia patients. Age-related outcomes such as polypharmacy, comorbidities, and functional status change influence drug interactions.

Health promotion among individuals diagnosed with Schizophrenia considers mitigating factors. Individuals should be encouraged to live active lives, quit smoking, monitor medication side effects, treat physical illnesses such as diabetes, and attend regular check-ups (Wheeler, 2020). Moreover, a practitioner should determine help-seeking behaviors as determined by culture. For instance, individuals from a given culture might consider hallucinations and delusions as possession by evil spirits. Such beliefs restrict help-seeking behaviors among affected individuals and their families.(Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template Essay for Nursing Students)

Treatment Plan

  1. Pharmacotherapy – Initiate Risperdal 2 mg PO QID. Risperdal is indicated for treating Schizophrenia in adults during acute and maintenance phases. Risperdal is effective and well tolerated with minimal side effects (low anticholinergic) (Zolk et al., 2021).(Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template Essay for Nursing Students)
  2. Psychotherapy – Initiate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT improves impairments in judgment and cognition and lack of attention associated with Schizophrenia (Boland & Verduin, 2021). CBT also helps in managing primary schizophrenia symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. CBT allows individuals to gain coping skills and manage problematic behaviors and psychotic features to improve their well-being (Sharma et al., 2020).
  3. Education: Discuss with the client the effects of smoking and drinking alcohol. Educate patients about their physical health and the importance of maintaining good health. Provide resources such as brochures, videos, or websites about maintaining physical and mental health.(Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template Essay for Nursing Students)

RTC: After two weeks.
