By Academic Wizard Blog

Dilemmas Related to Health Care.

Wendy RN, has worked at Hope Hospital for over three years in the pediatric unit. She has accepted the day shift assignment consisting of five pediatric patients under the age of 10, three RSV patients and two sickle cell anemia patients. Two of the patients have mothers in attendance, the remainder have no family member or caretaker.

Wendy is working with Lisa RN, who has less than one year of experience working at Hope Hospital and has recently cross trained to the pediatric unit.

Wendy has a half hour to go on her shift and has just completed all duties addressing patient care when she receives a text message from her husband alerting her that her son was injured during a football game and is on his way to the community hospital in that town. Dilemmas Related to Health Care

Wendy informs Lisa that she has to leave and why and that she can get all the information regarding her patients from each patient chart. Wendy informs Lisa to report to the oncoming shift which will be Susan RN and quickly grabs her coat and leaves.

Susan working the pm shift arrives on time and looks for Wendy for report. Lisa who sees Susan quickly comes down the hall to notify Susan that Wendy left in a hurry and that she is the only nurse on the floor for the last half hour. Susan asks Lisa for a report, and Lisa states she did not get a report by Wendy regarding each of her patients but that she was told by Wendy that all documentation on each patient was completed.

Susan RN has been a nurse for over five years in the pediatric unit. She quickly notifies the nurse manager of what occurred and proceeds to provide her nursing responsibilities and duties to each of the five patients. Susan notices upon entering the room of the 4-year-old RSV patient that the oxygen is no longer in use and that the child is exhibiting signs of respiratory distress. Susan also notices IV infiltrate in the patient’s right hand which is puffy and sore when palpated. Susan is notified of the demise of the child a day later.

Counseling Treatment Plan One

By Academic Wizard Blog

Counseling Treatment Plan One

Scenario for Treatment Plan #1

A family comes to your practice for help. Here is the following information that is collected during their intake.

Mom and Dad have been married for twenty years. They have a middle-class income. Mom works twenty hours per week as a para legal. Dad is a college professor at the local four-year institution. They have three children. The oldest is a 16-year-old girl. She is a straight A student, and she is well liked at her school and the family’s church. She does not play any sports. Her hobbies are reading, art, and theatre club at the school. She just received her driver’s license about three months ago. It is rare that she is ever in trouble and in need of discipline for breaking family or school rules.

The second child is 12-year-old male. This young man seems to find trouble anywhere he goes during the day. He struggles in school, but the teachers state he is fully capable of completing the work; he just refuses to do the work. He is defiant at school and at home. He spends most of his time defying authority figures who are left in charge of him each day. He can go for days without getting in trouble and then he could go a week getting in trouble every day. Even when he is presented with a “video” of his infraction, he will sit and deny it. He never claims that anything is his fault. He has been known to get into fights at school and even with his older sister. The older sister never fights back. She tries to get away from him rather than engage.

He will intentionally break a rule at home and blame it on his older sister or younger brother.

Spanking him only makes him madder and more out of control. Time-out ruins everyone’s night because he sits in time-out and verbally says things to bother the rest of the household. The only person he has never shown the behavior is his grandmother on his mother’s side.

The third child is a 10- year-old boy. The boy is identical to the older sibling. He makes good grades, and he is well liked by others. He does show some of the “baby of the family” traits. For example, when his older brother picks on him, he immediately cries and screams for his mother.

Presenting Symptoms/Issues (i.e. Anxiety Depression etc.) Spaces are provided for three symptoms or issues but you may have less or add more if needed., UWA students have access to the full-text DSM-5 via the Library website (found at uwa.edu/current students faculty and staff). ,The DSM is in a database titled “Psychiatry Online”. ,This database is filled with incredible diagnostic information.,
Information that Supports Item I. How did you arrive at the above conclusions? Again you may have less or more information here.),

III. Treatment Theoretical Approach(es): List and describe one or two theories that you, as the counselor, would use to work with the individual/family and give a rationale for choosing those approaches. Please do not describe a “integrated” approach but, rather, describe one or two specific theories. For each theory you list here, describe it using at least 250 words. Cite at least two scholarly sources in this description (no websites!). Include the two sources in a reference section at the end of your document (after case #2)

Treatment Modalities (i.e. Specify Group Family Couple Individual make sure that your choice of treatment modalities correlates with what you going to do with the individuals in the scenario.),
Reasons for the Chosen Modalities in Item IV. Frequency of Sessions for Each Modality in Item IV.

VII. Measurable Treatment Goals (Be sure to state these using action verbs. For example, “The client(s) will be able to identify, discuss, describe, etc.”)

VIII. Techniques from Theoretical Approaches: Based on the theory you described in section III above, list and describe three techniques that you could use for this case. Describe each technique using at least 150 words. These techniques/interventions should be directly related to the theory you described in Item III. Besides your textbook, include at least two other scholarly sources (articles or textbooks; no websites). Include your sources in the reference section at the very end of your document (after case #2).

Frequency for Evaluating Each Goal
How will Progress Be Defined? What will you be looking for regarding progress with your client(s)?

Counseling Treatment Plan Two

By Academic Wizard Blog

Counseling Treatment Plan Two

Scenario for Case Study #2

A couple enter for their intake regarding pre-marital counseling., They have been dating for approximately fifteen months., They are wanting to get married; however, they are concerned with several issues. ,The woman has been married twice before. ,She has one child with each of her past ex-husbands. ,She has an eight-year-old girl and a four-year-old boy. ,The man has been married once before. He has one child, a boy, age 13.,

Both woman’s ex-husbands play a large role in the children’s lives. However, the man’s ex-wife has nothing to do with her son. The woman receives a large alimony check that she would lose if she re-marries. This is a concern since she does not work outside the home. The man has a good job, but they would be living on a tight budget without her alimony check each month.

They have discussed living together, but, if it is proven that they are cohabitating, she would still lose the alimony. The children have not met each other at this point. The woman’s ex-husbands are not aware that she has been in a serious relationship. Counseling Treatment Plan Two

The 13-year-old boy has been in trouble with the juvenile court system for inappropriately touching girls at school. The last episode was six months ago. He has been in counseling for over one year. The man has not told the woman of his son’s issues.

Again, they have come in for pre-marital counseling and how they should tell the children the news if they decide to marry.

Presenting Symptoms/Issues (i.e., Anxiety, Depression, etc.) (Spaces are provided for three symptoms or issues, but you may have less or add more, if needed.)
Information that Supports Item I. (How did you arrive at the above conclusions? Again, you may have less or more information here.)

Treatment Modalities (i.e., Specify Group, Family, Couple, Individual—make sure that your choice of treatment modalities correlates with what you are going to do with the individuals in the scenario.)
Reasons for the Chosen Modalities in Item IV
Frequency of Sessions for Each Modality in Item IV

VII. Measurable Treatment Goals (Be sure to state these using action verbs. For example, “The client(s) will be able to identify, discuss, describe, etc.”

Frequency for Evaluating Each Goal (Will you evaluate after each session? …after two sessions? etc.)
How will Progress be Defined? [What will you be looking for regarding progress with your client(s)?]
