Assessment and Care Planning for a Person with Mental Disabilities
In this essay I will discuss a service user I encountered on recent practice placement who was referred to the hospital after she has been deteriorating in mental health and she has bipolar disorder. I am going to discuss the assessment and development of the care plan of the service user. The essay will also consist of a brief biography of the patient’s contributing factors towards her present mental health circumstances. The relevant culturally sensitive engagement and assessment skills used by the nurse in their relationships with the service user will be discussed. I will also explore legislative and nursing frameworks that influence and contribute to positive and hopeful service user’s care. The assignment will also explore the multi-disciplinary nature of mental health care delivery and discussion of the care planning of the service user.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC Code, 2008) states that it is the role of the nurse to maintain confidentiality of the patients and in line with the Data Protection Act(1998), in this essay I will change the name of the patient by giving her a name Alice. I will discuss three of the twelve Roper, Tierney and Logan's Activities of Living (Roper et al, 1990) which are communication, maintaining a safe environment and mobilising. I will use the tidal model also known as recovery model which is a model for the promotion of mental health and recovery developed by Professor Phil Barker, Poppy Buchanan-Barker and their colleagues (Barker, 2001).
Alice is an eighty two year old British lady admitted informally at the mental health ward. She is a widow who lives by herself in a bungalow and the husband passed away in 2005. She has got a daughter who immigrated to Australia, and she has a brother, nieces and nephews who live far away from her and they visit each other once or twice a year. Alice is a catholic and she enjoys going to church. She has a good social network of friends and she likes going out for meals and
