Mental Health Assignment Help

TASK Using the case study provided, identify an urgent risk area. Ensure your answer details why you have identified this risk area including specific information about the client and current literature. Identify one nursing / midwifery intervention you would immediately undertake with your client to address the risk area noted in question 1a and include a rationale for the intervention.  Ensure the intervention includes who and when you would actually carry out the intervention. Your rationale should state how and why you would carry out the particular intervention. Ensure literature is included. Before you answer questions 1 a and b, consider you are a health professional and have sat with your client to undertake a mental health assessment. You have gathered the information which is offered in the case study. What do you now see as the most urgent risk area to keep your client safe? Take care to ensure the risk area is focused on the client. You may identify risk areas for family members or members of the community, but this is not the immediate focus of your actual student assessment here. Identify the most urgent concern first in terms of immediate safety concerns. We want to see your understanding of the client’s issue, so avoid writing brief details about the client such as: ‘the client has self-harm thoughts’. Expand on the detail of the concern ie. the client has presented with daily self-harm thoughts for 3 months, with intermittent /  regular thoughts to cut his wrists using a razor blade. The client reports family contact as a possible cause of distress triggering self-harm thoughts which last for one hour daily immediately after seeing his family. You should then add in some literature about self-harm which has relevance to the case study ie. males and self-harm, incidence of self-harm. Remember 1a is only 2 marks, so the literature here doesn’t need to be expansive, but do make sure you provide some literature and provide details of the client’s main concern ie. safety concern.
