    Being hired as a new administrator for Gotham City Medical Center which mainly focus on mental health issues comes with a host of task. The inpatient and outpatient services are housed in separate buildings on the same campus which caused problems by the center during file recording. After an audit conducted by the New York State Office of Mental Heath several findings were highlighted that concerned them. The two primary findings which were patients notes were written once a week which tells me that the therapist did not record any individual notes at all. The second finding was that sign-in sheets were present for those who attended but no notes on their daily progress and visits were recorded in their records. Also patient mental health information was shared with the media which is unethical. As a new administrator, I would be entering into a setting where unethical activities are occurring, overwhelmed staffs and improper handling of patient files. As a new administrator, the findings require attention to develop a system for providing better mental healthcare services.…

    The decision maker for this case analysis is my 15 year old son, J.D. He possesses high intellect and his interests include reading, writing, art, philosophy, and foreign history and culture. Despite his intellect, he has struggled academically. This began early on when he was retained and placed on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) in the second grade and diagnosed with ADHD in the fourth grade. He was removed from the IEP in the fifth grade, when the IEP team determined that he no longer required special education services and accommodations. J.D. was accepted into an arts focused college preparatory school in the sixth grade, where he currently attends and is presently in the ninth grade. He receives some above average grades and performs above average in reading comprehension and retention of written information. However, he performs below average in math. Additionally, he puts forth little effort, and thus performs poorly, in any subjects that are facilitated by teachers that he does not care for. J.D. often procrastinates on…

    As my learning needs and areas of development have been identified within my portfolio, the following case study will focus on the assessment and prescribing process for a 64 year old lady with a history of venous leg ulcers. The identified patient, who will be known as Jane to maintain confidentiality (NMC, 2008) was chosen due to the high number of patients who have venous leg ulcers that are nursed by community teams. Approximately 1-2% of adults will have a leg ulcer at some point in their lives, this figure increases with age to around 3.6% of people over 65 years being affected (Christian, 2013). Venous leg ulcers are costly to treat, and respond best to early diagnosis and treatment (McKenzie, 2010). Patients often find leg ulcers painful, embarrassing and they have a negative impact on their own body image (Parker, 2012).…

    Since it was my first day at Psych Clinical, I was very nervous and scared. My anxiety level was around 9 when I was starting the interview and I had 1 after the interview. It was not that bad as I thought. My patient was playing in the gym with her groupmates, so the environment was good. She was playing and enjoying herself so she was pleasant to talk. She was able to answer all my questions appropriately. My anxiety level goes down as I talked with the patient because I was able to create a rapport with a patient. My patient said she felt great talking with me, so it cheers my mood.…
