Use appropriate templates/ tables to set out each part: EG: MSE, 5Ps as used in tutorials and the nursing care table as in the example below Ensure your work includes the name of the consumer and brief demographic data about them [e.g. Mary Citizen is an university educated 36 year old married woman and mother of a 14 year old girl] 1.1 The Mental Status Examination [350 words] • using the MSE format in your weekly tutorial guide provide a complete Mental Status Examination (MSE) of your consumer • use specific examples from this case study to illustrate each part of the MSE • you must use and define psychiatric terms accurately (e.g. Instead of “talks fast” use the correct term “pressure of speech“, define it properly and cite your sources) 1.2 A Clinical Formulation Table [250 words] • use information gathered from the MSE and the bio-psycho-social assessment (history of presenting complaint, family and social history, current living situation, the consumer’s strengths and coping strategies, medical history) to complete a table under the headings of presenting, precipitating, predisposing, perpetuating and protective factors (5Ps) relevant to your consumer’s clinical presentation 1.3 Plan for Nursing Care [300 words] • using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, identify and prioritise the needs of your consumer • select the two (2) highest priority issues identified and clearly indicate what they are and why they are highest priority • outline your nursing care, focusing on one (1) nursing intervention for each of these needs and your rationale for each i.e. describe how the intervention assists your consumer to address or meet each need; interventions must be nursing related, detailed, practical and within your scope of practice ** NOTE: in part two you will be explaining how you would develop and use a therapeutic relationship with this consumer, and how cultural safety and the recovery model influenced your nursing care and choice of interventions • nursing care interventions must have a short term goal (short term = goal setting over a day or two) • for each nursing care intervention state how you will evaluate if its goal is being achieved
