TOPIC OF CHOICE – Child and elder abuse reporting in Maryland
MARYLAND IS THE STATE
Advanced practice nursing in all specialties is guided by codes of ethics that put the care, rights, duty, health, and safety of the patient first and foremost. PMHNP practice is also guided by ethical codes specifically for psychiatry. These ethical codes are frameworks to guide clinical decision making; they are generally not prescriptive. They also represent the aspirational ideals for the profession. Laws, on the other hand, dictate the requirements that must be followed. In this way, legal codes may be thought to represent the minimum standards of care, and ethics represent the highest goals for care.
For this Discussion, you select a topic that has both legal and ethical implications for PMHNP practice and then perform a literature review on the topic. Child and elder abuse reporting in Maryland
Your goal will be to identify the most salient legal and ethical facets of the issue for PMHNP practice, and also how these facets differ in the care of adult patients versus children. Keep in mind as you research your issue, that laws differ by state and your clinical practice will be dictated by the laws that govern your state.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Topic: Child and elder abuse reporting in Maryland
Summary:
Child and elder abuse are serious issues that require immediate attention and intervention. In Maryland, mental health professionals are required by law to report any suspected cases of child or elder abuse to the appropriate authorities. Failure to do so may result in legal and ethical consequences for the mental health professional.
According to the Maryland Department of Human Services, any person who suspects that a child has been subjected to abuse or neglect must report the suspected abuse to the local Department of Social Services or law enforcement agency immediately. Similarly, any person who suspects that an elderly or vulnerable adult has been subjected to abuse, neglect, or exploitation must report the suspected abuse to the appropriate authorities.
Mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors, are considered mandatory reporters in Maryland. They must report any suspected cases of child or elder abuse, even if the abuse is only suspected or there is no concrete evidence. Failure to report suspected abuse can result in disciplinary action, including fines, suspension, or revocation of the mental health professional’s license.
The legal and ethical issues related to reporting child and elder abuse are complex. Mental health professionals must balance their duty to report suspected abuse with their obligation to maintain their clients’ confidentiality. They must also consider the potential consequences of reporting suspected abuse, including the impact on the client’s relationships and mental health.
In addition to legal and ethical issues, mental health professionals must also consider cultural factors that may affect their clients’ willingness to report suspected abuse. For example, in some cultures, it may be taboo to report abuse to outside authorities. Mental health professionals must be sensitive to these cultural factors and work to establish trust and rapport with their clients.
Implications for clinical practice in Maryland:
Mental health professionals in Maryland must be familiar with the state’s mandatory reporting laws and understand their reporting obligations. They should also be aware of the potential legal and ethical consequences of failing to report suspected abuse.
When working with clients who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing abuse, mental health professionals should prioritize their safety and well-being. They should also work to establish trust and rapport with their clients and provide them with support and resources to help them cope with the effects of abuse.
As mandatory reporters, mental health professionals must also be prepared to make difficult decisions about when to report suspected abuse. They should seek guidance from their professional organizations and consult with colleagues and supervisors to ensure that their reporting decisions are ethical and legally sound.
