Michelle, a 21-year-old female, has been admitted informally to an acute mental health unit this is her first admission. Michelle is currently under treatment with her GP for depression and prior to her admission Michelle attempted suicide by cutting her wrists. Subsequently a short admission was arranged with the aim of devising a comprehensive care plan.
After discussing the circumstances leading up to her suicide attempt Michelle became increasingly tearful and distressed, she started demanding to see a MD/NP. After being told that the NP was on their way and would arrive in about 10 minutes, Michelle became angry demanding medication to calm her down; she then proceeded to run towards the unit doors shouting that she wanted to go home. At that moment the NP arrived on the unit and Michelle immediately calmed down.
During the assessment process Michelle disclosed her emotions of anger if she did not get her way was not unusual for her. She also mentioned that she often had regrets about her behavior and these bouts of anger later. She described herself as a "terrible person who was out of control" and she "just wanted to die". Following this assessment, the NP initiated a plan of care.
