What are your nursing responsibilities

Reference no: EM133310847

Case Study: A new client, Mr Jones aged 28, is to be admitted to the acute inpatient mental health unit following a referral from his General Practitioner. Mrs Jones reports that her husband is confused and disorientated. No beds are available, so he is admitted to a general medical ward. Mr Jones is an Ex-Serviceman who has a diagnosis of PTSD.

You notice that he is very reluctant to engage in conversation and makes no eye contact. He eventually tells you that he is not sleeping and is concerned that he has difficulty remembering things. He states that he is "embarrassed" about his illness.

He does say that there are times when he wants it all to finish, and he has thought about suicide. He also informs you that he is thinking about suicide more often.
