Post a reflection on the decisions you made in the risk assessment client scenario. What did you choose to do, and why? Then, describe your agency's scope of practice and its policies related to clients at risk. How would these policies have changed your actions in the interactive scenario?
Imagine that you are an advanced practice intern at an inpatient mental health treatment center. One of your tasks is to assess clients' readiness and safety for discharge.
You are working with client Frank Espinosa, a 58-year-old male. Frank was hospitalized following a suicide attempt at his residence and is nearing completion of the inpatient program.
I'm looking forward to getting out of here. I've been telling everyone I won't try that again.
1. I am happy to hear that you are confident enough to share your decision with others. Can you help me see what is behind this decision?
2. Well, that's good to hear. We just need to fill out some discharge planning paperwork first, and you'll be all set.
3. What is wrong with this place? Have you been getting good care?
