1. Karen is a 25-year-old white woman who lives alone in an apartment with her dog. Karen
has been divorced for 2 years and is taking Prozac prescribed by her psychiatrist for
depression. Karen and her boyfriend had been discussing marriage until he told her that he
wanted to end their relationship. Karen became even more depressed and could not work
for a week. Karen returned to work, refusing to discuss her issues with family, friends, or
coworkers. She did, however, make an appointment to see a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Karen told the nurse that she was making some changes in her life. Karen said that she and a
girlfriend were joining a gym program for workouts and a social group for young men and
women. Karen stated that she realizes that her former boyfriend had not been committed to
her, and she anticipates meeting and dating other young men from the adult social group.
Karen also said that she thinks that the gym exercise will be beneficial to her mentally and
physically.
, Learning Objectives: 1, 4)
a. How will the psychiatric nurse assess if Karen has made progress toward self-
realization?
Karen had suffered from depression which is a form of mental disorder as a result of
divorce and a broken relationship with her boyfriend. This situation according to
Hypocriticus in 15th century BC, upholds the brain as the organ of consciousness; this
occurs when both normal and abnormal behavior arise from the brain. The psychiatric
nurse can assess if Karen has made progress towards self-realization by committing to
diagnosing and treating her responses to the problems that caused her psychiatric
disorder. In-addition, the nurse can make assessment based on Karen’s psychoanalytical
disposition such as: trasferrence,defense mechanism,countertransference,acting out,
denial of the reality befallen her and projection.
b. Identify strengths that Karen has for progress in personal growth.
The strengths Karen has for progress in personal growth include the followings:
Ability to make use of social support, that is, she visited a psychiatric nurse, social group
and registered in a gym.
She was realistic about her situation, therefore made herself ready to face the reality
before her.
Karen sought immediate medical attention where she was administered with Prozac to
help mitigate her depression state.
Her cognitive behavioral responses showed optimism towards a better life as well as
fighting against her depressed state. Hence, her willingness to date younger men.
