Question

Ms. Richardson is a 74-year-old African American woman brought to the hospital by police due to concerns from neighbors about her well-being. She appears unkempt and confused, aware of her name and address but unable to recall the date or describe events leading to her admission. The police found her in a filthy apartment, hiding from them after breaking in, where they also encountered her aggressive dog, which they tranquilized. She has diabetes and has not eaten for three days, feeling weak and in pain. During her psychiatric evaluation, she stated she had seen a psychiatrist in the past and was prescribed Haldol, but she did not take it. She denied the existence of a gun that was found, claiming it was a toy. Despite her condition, she managed a smile as the team left. Generate a primary and two differential diagnoses. Use the DSM5 to support the assessment. Include the DSM5 and ICD 10 codes. Discuss a pharmacological treatment would you prescribe? Use the clinical guidelines to support the rationale for this treatment. Discuss non-pharmacological treatment would you prescribe? Use the clinical guidelines to support the rationale for this treatment. Describe a health promotion intervention that would be appropriate.
