Question:
Antonia agrees to voluntary admission for evaluation and treatment. After
searching the hospital system, the PMHNP finds that there is not an available
inpatient bed for Antonia and that a bed may not be available for 24 hours or
longer. Antonia states that she is not willing to remain in the emergency
department for that long, and she instead wants to schedule an appointment
with her counselor for the next day. Antonia states that she is willing to stay
with her brother and his family in their home and will give him her
prescriptions so that she does not have access to the bottles.
Which of the following is the most appropriate recommendation for Antonia?
a. discharge to home with resources for crisis care and recommendation for
follow-up
b. increase sertraline to 75 mg daily
c. 23-hour observation in the ED with Q15 minute checks
d. involuntary admission
Answer:
,discharge to home with resources for crisis care and recommendation for
follow-up
Rationale: Antonia's symptoms indicate that she might benefit from
voluntary admission; however, since there is no appropriate inpatient bed,
keeping her indefinitely in the ED for observation is not appropriate. Antonia
can be discharged to the care of her brother with a safety plan, crisis
resources, and a follow-up plan.
