Subjective
The patient is an 18-year-old male in for an initial psychiatric evaluation with consent. He is accompanied by his father and stepmother for the evaluation. Marc reports feeling good right now; he states, " I was diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar disorder, I am taking Seroquel 50mg and stopped taking Adderall 3 years ago". They report wanting to with a new psychiatrist because the other did not have counseling services.
Assessment
The patient is in for an initial psychiatric evaluation; he reports a previous diagnosis of bipolar disorder and ADHD, and actively taking Seroquel 50mg at night. Patient reports feeling good and having no concerns but wanting continuation of care due to lack of available therapy at his previous provider.
Patient reports a troubled upbringing with divorced parents, expulsion from middle school, bullying, arguments with his mother, and occasional thoughts of suicide in the past.
He reports auditory hallucinations stating where he would see a window and think about jumping out of the window but did not act on the hallucination. A recommendation to increase his prescribed Seroquel to 75mg based on his reported auditory hallucinations and poor sleep was made to patient, however, he declined to increase the dosage stating he is okay. He is educated that if these auditory hallucinations persist and cause him to enact harm on himself or others, he should call 911.
Patient will continue Seroquel 50 mg nightly, and a referral for psychotherapy will be escalated. He is educated on medication compliance to improve his mood symptoms. He is educated on medication side effects and adverse effects. Education is provided on positive coping mechanisms to improve his mood.
A discussion was held with Marc's father who is present during the interview. He expresses his wish to start patient back on his Adderall as he is about to enter college. The father is educated that Adderall will not be prescribed at this time because patient may be able to make behavioral adjustments through psychotherapy sessions and increased engagement in other activities. A reevaluation will be needed to diagnose patient with ADHD. Otherwise, his father is encouraged to continue actively supporting and maintaining open communication with patient.
Plan of Care:
Client will have decreased mood symptoms within 90 days
Client is referred for psychotherapy sessions weekly
Client will continue Seroquel 50mg at bedtime
Client is educated on medication side effects and adverse effects
Follow up in 2 weeks on 3/29/22
Call 911 for suicidal or homicidal ideations

Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.
To Prepare
· Review this week's Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide. Also review the Kaltura Media Uploader resource in the left-hand navigation of the classroom for help creating your self-recorded Kaltura video.
· Select a patient of any age (either a child or an adult) that you examined during the last 3 weeks.
· Create a Focused SOAP Note on this patient using the template provided in the Learning Resources. There is also a completed Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided to serve as a guide to assignment expectations.
· Please Note:
· All SOAP notes must be signed, and each page must be initialed by your Preceptor. Note: Electronic signatures are not accepted.
· When you submit your note, you should include the complete focused SOAP note as a Word document and PDF/images of each page that is initialed and signed by your Preceptor.
· You must submit your SOAP note using SafeAssign. Note: If both files are not received by the due date, faculty will deduct points per the Walden Grading Policy.
· Then, based on your SOAP note of this patient, develop a video case study presentation. Take time to practice your presentation before you record.
· Include at least five scholarly resources to support your assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
· Ensure that you have the appropriate lighting and equipment to record the presentation.
The Assignment
Record yourself presenting the complex case study for your clinical patient. In your presentation:
· Dress professionally and present yourself in a professional manner.
· Display your photo ID at the start of the video when you introduce yourself.
· Ensure that you do not include any information that violates the principles of HIPAA (i.e., don’t use the patient’s name or any other identifying information).
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes. Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
· Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
· Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
· Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses and why you chose them. List them from highest priority to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis and why? Describe how your primary diagnosis aligns with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and supported by the patient’s symptoms.
· Plan: What was your plan for psychotherapy? What was your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters, as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also be sure to include at least one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy.
· Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this patient if you could conduct the session again? If you are able to follow up with your patient, explain whether these interventions were successful and why or why not. If you were not able to conduct a follow up, discuss what your next intervention would be.
