Questions
  1. What is your differential diagnosis? Discuss your provisional diagnosis and rule outs.
  2. What, if any, labs, other diagnostics, or referrals might you consider?
  3. Using the Transtheoretical Model, which stage of change do you think John is in? Why? Based on the stage of change you identify, which type of interventions might you do?
  4. Given John’s rural environment and his history, John is likely to interface with primary care before he receives specialty mental health services. If you were a PMHNP working in an integrated care setting, how might you engage John in specialty mental health services? Discuss this in terms of your role and other roles within an integrated treatment team.
  5. Briefly describe one psychotherapeutic modality you would use with John and describe why you selected this therapy.
  6. Imagine you see John for a five-minute mini-consultation (a “warm handoff”) in an integrated care setting. Write a risk assessment of John, identifying any risk and protective factors in terms of risk of harm to self and others. Describe any specific steps you might take to decrease his overall risk. What if John refuses any further care? Are there any legal and/or ethical considerations and, if so, discuss these, along with steps you might take to resolve them.
