The Problem




14:40:15 GMT -05:00

, Paula has both physical and mental health issues. As the social worker, I have discovered

that Paula is at risk of committing suicide. Also, regarding the health condition, Paula is rapidly

decompensating, which puts her and her pregnancy at significant risk. Furthermore, she has just

announced that she is pregnant and is torn between keeping the pregnancy and terminating it.

Also, she has developed paranoia because of the baby's father, who constantly threatens and

Paula has a long history of non-compliance; she is always non-compliant with her medications.

She randomly stops them when he feels like she does not like the effects of her medication. Even

after knowing the seriousness of her medical status and her health needs, she gets to a point

where she stops taking her meds, including the ones for HIV, completely. Such decisions can be
