Each week students will choose one patient encounter to submit a Follow-up SOAP note for review. 

Follow the rubric to develop your SOAP notes for this term. 

The focus is on your ability to integrate your subjective and objective information gathering into formulation of diagnoses and development of patient-centered, evidence-based plans of care for patients of all ages with multiple, complex mental health conditions. At the end of this term, your SOAP notes will have demonstrated your knowledge of evidence-based practice, clinical expertise, and patient/family preferences as expected for an independent nurse practitioner incorporating psychotherapy into practice.

Plan

(Note some items may only be applicable in the inpatient environment)

Inpatient:

Psychiatric. NKDA

Estimated stay

Safety Risk/Plan: Guidelines for managing violent or aggressive behavior: This may include training for caregivers and family members on how to de-escalate situations and provide appropriate support. Monitoring for suicidal thoughts and behaviors: Caregivers and family members should be trained to recognize the signs of suicidal thoughts and behaviors and take appropriate action.

Pharmacologic interventions: including dosage, route, and frequency and non-pharmacologic:

The patient is put on chlorpromazine Oral: 500 mg orally per day Maximum dose: 2000 mg/day until he stablizes.

Pharmacologic interventions for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder typically include the use of antipsychotic medications. These medications work by regulating the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, called neurotransmitters, which can help to reduce symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations (Olmos, et al., 2019). The most commonly used antipsychotic medications include: First-generation (typical) antipsychotics: such as haloperidol (Haldol) and chlorpromazine (Thorazine) Second-generation (atypical) antipsychotics: such as risperidone (Risperdal), olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), aripiprazole (Abilify), and clozapine (Clozaril) Dosage, route, and frequency of these medications will vary depending on the individual and their specific condition. It’s important to work with a healthcare provider to find the right dosage and schedule that works best for you.

In addition to pharmacologic interventions, non-pharmacologic interventions can also be helpful for managing schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. These may include: Psychotherapy: such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or family therapy Vocational rehabilitation: to help the person return to work or improve their job skills Social skills training: to help the person improve their ability to interact with others Support groups: to provide the person with a sense of community and emotional support Self-help techniques: such as mindfulness, meditation and yoga (Hartman, et al., 2019). It’s important to note that a combination of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions can be more effective than either one alone. It’s important to work with a healthcare provider to develop an individualized treatment plan that takes into account the person’s specific needs and goals.

The patient is educated on the coping skills and hoiw to take the medication as instructed.
