Bipolar Disorder 1 is, potentially
disabling, and life-threatening in some cases; it is characterized by the alternating
episodes of hypomania or mania-depression or the mixtures of depressive and
manic features. This case study is based on the medical health scenario–Bi-Polar
Disorder. This case study draws upon the relevant theoretical concepts about
Bi-Polar disorder/Bipolar Disorder 1 supporting the shared decision-making
process regarding the condition of James in the intervention and assessment
planning to meet his needs. In the next section, the outline of James is given along
with his journey that could be followed to meet his healthcare needs, complex
health, and social care needs (Bobo, 2017).
In the third section, the brief discussion is provided exploring the relevant
theoretical concepts, critically reviewing the needs of James, critically
discussing the local community services, and evaluating and considering the role
of the nurse in a systematic assessment, evaluation of care, care delivery, and
planning. Concluding remarks are given in the last section.
Bipolar Disorder 1 presents many
therapeutic challenges and diagnostic for the busy clinicians. Accurate and
early diagnosis is important for bipolar disorders so that the outcomes of the treatment
could be optimized. Bipolar disorders’adequate management requires psychosocial
and pharmacotherapy interventions targeted to the illness’s specific phases. For
each phase of illness, effective treatments are available, but incomplete response
to treatment and mood episode relapse is common, especially in the phase of
depression. Psychological functioning, suicide risk, and mood symptoms,
therefore, must be reevaluated continually, and when compulsory, the care plan
needs to be adjusted during the treatment in the long term. Additional treatment is required by many
patients of co morbid substance and psychiatric use management and disorders of
the general medical conditions’ variety that is a commonly co-occurring chronic
condition(Bobo, 2017).
Background of Mental Health
Scenario–Bi-Polar Disorder
James is the eldest in a child in
the family having two younger brothers; his youngest brother has an Asperger's
diagnosis and he is 50 years old, his mother died four years ago because of
breast cancer. James finished in school with three A-levels and started
studying medicine when he became ill for the first time. James, unfortunately,
was unable to rejoin the university to complete his studies. According to the
medical history of James, he neither drink alcohol nor the smoke and Appendectomy
at the age of 8 years old. He is using Lithium 600mg BD medication.
Currently, James is 48 years old
man and he has a Bipolar Affective Disorders’ diagnosis. He has 28 years long
history if Bipolar Disorder I and he has had so many admissions, most of them
were under the Medical Health Act at the time when he has been so much
grandiose, manic, and behaviors like leaving the house naked, excessive
spending, painting the flat’s outside in the morning’s early hours. James has
been under the CMHT Recovery team’s care for the previous three years since the
last admission. Moreover, James has the noncompliance's history with medication
normally as the psychosocial stressors’ result.
Furthermore, James has been
placed on Section 136 and is living in the safety’s local mental health unit
place. At the local park, police had been called by the members of the public approximately
by 4 pm expressing concerns that children were being upset by a man while using
the paddling pool. Police, on the arrival, found that James was waving his arms
while lying down near the paddling pool, screaming and shouting. He was wearing
long shorts only and was sunburnt noticeably. One of the police officers were
recognized by James from the last encounter and talked reluctantly to the
officers. The wellbeing of James was the concern of the police and felt that further
assessment was being warranted by him, this is why the police placed James under
the Section 136. James, on the route to the mental health unit, continued to make
multiple attempts to the leave the van of Police while shouting and whilst the vehicle
was in the motion, it was claimed by James that he was invincible.
Apparently, James is suffering
from Bipolar Disorder 1 that is, potentially disabling, common, and
life-threatening in some cases; it is characterized by the alternating episodes
of hypomania or mania-depression or the mixtures of depressive and manic
features. As we know that the bipolar person mood swings occur very fast and
they can be happy or sad within no time, same happening to James. There are
some of the symptoms also include that they do not sleep much or if they sleep
they will sleep for a long period of time, and it seems like James did not have
enough sleep. Numerous patients having the side effects of bipolar need the
help so does James, the mental health scenario is discussed in detail in the next
section.
Mental Health Scenario –
Bi-Polar Disorder: James
Theoretical
concepts that support
the assessment Systematic
approach in the assessment, planning, care delivery and evaluation of care for the Bi-Polar Disorder
In this case to achieve shared decision
making, the three-step model is suggested for the medical practice. It is also highlight
that this is a basic model that demonstrates the procedure of affecting from preliminary
to well-versed preferences. It is also acknowledge that this procedure as well
has mental, societal and affecting issue that will manipulate this consideration
space and that would be managed by an effectual of the clinician-patient, looking for Epstein that
has phrase a ‘shared mind’.
There are said to be three key
steps of clinical practice shared decision making, that is: choice
talk, option talk and decision talk, where supports of
the clinician consideration all through the procedure. The Choice talk
concern with the step of ensuring that the patients be acquainted with all
of the reasonable option is obtainable. The Option talks concern
with the work of allowing for the preferences and decide what is good for the
patient. The model sketches a process, even though it is significant to be
familiar with that the model is not regulatory— some of the clinical connections
are by requirement fluid. All of the shared Decision support tools offer critical
input into the procedure. This model of the decision making also likely to help
the professional to understand the needs of the customers and make an effort to
fulfill all of the needs of the
customers.
In the systematic approach you
have to manage for the bipolar disorder patient's examples the systematic
approach could be explained as to fulfill the psychological needs of the
bipolar patients, these patient need to be given proper care so that they will
continue their life with ease and so that they can live like a proper normal
person. Like the confusion talk about over the rest issue of the specialist
need to plan such timetable and influence the best condition for the patient so
he to can without much of a stretch appreciate the rest so his psyche can be
loosened up additional (Suppes & Dennehy, 2010).
As we know that the bipolar
person mood swings occur very fast and they can be happy or sad within no time.
Most of the people with this disorder have no friends. Like the disorder
discuss above the sleep disorder of the doctor have to plan such schedule and
make the best condition for the patient so he can easily enjoy the sleep so his
mind can be relaxed more. Numerous patients having the side effects of bipolar
need the help. While the overseer must be stern and exact with the strategies,
the medical attendant can occupy from that way and utilize the abilities to
help the recovery of the patient. (Benita Wilson, 2014).
While making the decision about the treatment
of the James it is very important, to talk to the friends and the relatives of
the James. Because the mental disorder to the James 28 years old so it would be
very critical for the doctors to treat him.
The effective decision in order to prevent Bi-Polar Disorder Discuss how effective
decision making may
prevent deterioration /
crisis, enhance coping
and / or
recovery or contribute
to good end of
life
care for the
patient under consideration
The complex needs of the bipolar
patients is varies depending on the symptoms of the mental disorder. The patient of the bipolar
needs the maximum support of the family and care in the relationships. In the
severe situation the bipolar patient needs to get complete treatment from the
psychologist to get out of the trauma. The patients need the maximum care and
support of the love one in order to relax their mind. The Shared decision-making is said to be the
whole process of the interaction between the doctors and patients, in which
both of them are likely to play their part in the whole process of the decision
making.
In the shared decision making
process the doctors and likely to consult with the bipolar Patient through the
interaction and effective communication to suggest a treatment for the illness.
The shared decision making is help the patient to know about his problems and how
he is likely to get out of the situation. the shared decision making process is
also likely to help the patient to get out of the crises more effective and it
also enhance the chances of the better recovery and health care of the patient.
As the case of bipolar disorder
is very sensitive, it is necessary to take only the precise steps towards the
patient. Even the slightest stumble can result in dire consequences. Thus, a
well-planned approach can produce effective results. Since the relapses are
critical, there are some effective steps to prevent. Usually, patients don't
know much about their own disorder. They erroneous concepts concerning the
trigger of disorder make them produce the same results again. (Suppes &
Dennehy, 2010).
If the program is focusing on a
sole individual, it is significant for the group to know the needs and unique
traits of the patient by assessing the behaviours. Personal assessment fills
the gaps that are unnecessary for the prevention. Not every other patient has
the same swings and triggers. They change as the patients change. The program
that is focusing on groups instead of certain patients, they should focus on
the discussions including the relevance of the symptoms. There are, after all,
some patients that possess almost the same conditions of the bipolar disorder.
Knowing the relevance can then be helpful (Young, et al., 2010).
The local community services for the healthcare and social care
needs for Bi-Polar Disorder patient
It needs to be concerned that
local community services should be active for the health care and social care
needs so that Bi-Polar Disorder patients can be effectively treated and so that
they could be effectively values in the society or community. In this way,
patients can enjoy their lives. It is known that patients with the Bi-Polar
Disorder are facing issues related to the clinical risk factors and also there
can be some of the socioeconomic factors. It should be worried that neighborhood
network administrations ought to be dynamic for the human services and social
care needs with the goal that Bi-Polar Disorder patients can be successfully
treated thus that they could be adequately esteemed in the general public or
network.
It is analyzed that Bi-Polar
Disorder patients have a lower life expectancy and they have the poorer
physical health outcomes, therefore, it is needed for them to be treated in a
good way from the society. There is a
need to give the compelling condition and care. In any case, the correspondence
should be done among experts that how physical medicinal services and
neighbourhood network administrations should be given to the patients. However,
the communication needs to be done among professionals that how physical health
care and local community services need to be given to the patients.
It is worried about the wellbeing
framework factors that if patients are given viable condition or on the off
chance that they are given the help, at that point they could feel much
improved. . It is worried that the nearby network needs to remain dynamic
constantly. There is a need to provide the effective environment and care as
patients counselling need to be done, people can speak with the patients so
that they could easily share what is in their mind and so that people could
stay relaxed. (Benita Wilson, 2014).
The assessment skills in nurse's and their role in the systematic
assessment of Bi-Polar Disorder patient Critically analyses
how the focus
of the role
of the nurse
changes to reflect
the changes in
dependency levels.
The role of the nurse in the case
of the systematic assessment is very important for the prioritize treatment of
the patients of the bipolar disorder. It is estimated that nurses need to focus
on the arranged approach so that there could be an effective testament and
proficient outcomes in the treatment of the patients. The Nurses are also responsible to treat the
patients; as there are some viable strides to avoid. Care coordination should
be there to engage the patient in the overall treatment. It is also very
important for the nurses to know about the dependency level of the patient and
rise their support and care towards the patient depending on the level of dependency.
For the better assessment of the patient
it is also very important for the nurse to have focus on all of the problems of
the patient and make the appropriate plan for the treatment of the issue. It is realized that patients with the Bi-Polar
Disorder are confronting issues identified with the clinical hazard factors and
furthermore there can be a portion of the financial elements. Notwithstanding,
the nurses need to actively participate in this way, Bi-Polar Disorder patients
or with the given case of the James it is broke down that these patients should
be dealt with adequately by the general public or network (Suppes &
Dennehy, 2010).
They have difficulties
communicating with others and it prevents them from opening up and telling what
is it that they are actually keeping inside of them. Nurses not only support
the caretakers but also offer this companionship to the patients. Since
patients having the manifestations of bipolar issue display, therefore, there
is a need for some particular temperaments, and nurses need to seek higher
education as it will be useful for the guardian to experience a self-assessment.
When it comes to the nurses having relevant and necessary information about the
disorder and their characteristics can be quite useful. After all, they are
standing almost on the same ground as the caretaker. While the caretaker has to
be stern and precise with the methods, the nurse can divert from that path and
use the skills to boost the rehabilitation of the patient. Many patients having
the symptoms of bipolar need the support. Since it is about psychological
treatment, the role of the nurse is almost like a booster. Not only do they
help in the progress of the systematic approach but also the mental support
that the patients need (Suppes & Dennehy, 2010).
With their soft behavior and
actions, they offer the reliance that many patients envy. In many ways, nurses can help in the
rehabilitation. Nurses should assess and observe the patients effectively so
that the program that is concentrating on bunches rather than specific
patients, they should centre on the discourses including the pertinence of the
manifestations. So it is obvious the nurse must use the focused systematic
patient assessment approach in order to identify all of the risk on time and
also better support the patient in the overall process of the treatment.
Conclusion on Mental Health
Scenario–Bi-Polar Disorder
It is concluded that this case
study is based on the medical health scenario – Bi-Polar Disorder. This case
study has drawn upon the relevant theoretical concepts about Bi-Polar
disorder/Bipolar Disorder 1 supporting the shared decision-making process
regarding the condition of James in the intervention and assessment planning to
meet his needs. Bipolar Disorder 1 presents many therapeutic challenges and
diagnostic for the busy clinicians. According to the medical history of James,
he neither drinks alcohol nor the smoke and Appendectomy at the age of 8 years
old. He is using Lithium 600mg BD medication. Currently, James is 48 years old
man and he has a Bipolar Affective Disorders’ diagnosis. He has 28 years long
history if Bipolar Disorder I and he has had so many admissions, most of them
were under the Medical Health Act at the time when he has been so much
grandiose, manic, and behaviors like leaving the house naked, excessive
spending, painting the flat’s outside in the morning’s early hours.
It is also acknowledge that this
procedure as well has mental, societal and affecting issue that will manipulate
this consideration space and that would be managed by an effectual of the clinician-patient, looking for Epstein
that has phrase a ‘shared mind’. The model sketches a process, even though
it is significant to be familiar with that the model is not regulatory— some of
the clinical connections are by requirement fluid. The patients need the
maximum care and support of the love one in order to relax their mind. The Shared decision-making is said to be the
whole process of the interaction between the doctors and patients, in which
both of them are likely to play their part in the whole process of the decision
making. There is a need to give the compelling condition and care. In any case,
the correspondence should be done among experts that how physical medicinal
services and neighborhood network administrations should be given to the
patients. The Nurses are also responsible to treat the patients; as there are
some viable strides to avoid. It is also very important for the nurses to know
about the dependency level of the patient
and raise their support and care towards the patient depending on the
level of dependency.
It is recommended that an
accurate and early diagnosis is important for bipolar disorders so that the
outcomes of the treatment could be optimized. The person treating such patient
should try to become friends with him or her and enough sleep must be ensured
for such patients. Moreover, the planning of the systematic approach must be formulated
that how to deal with them and how to make them relax by treating them in a
very sensitive manner.
