Assignment 1: Practicum Journal: Voluntary and Involuntary Commitment
PMHNPs may find themselves working in a wide variety of settingseach having their own unique challenges and inherent legal issues. For instance, what do you do in your state of practice when you are providing a therapy/treatment session and a client reports active suicidal ideation? What do you do if you are covering inpatient psychiatric consults and are called to see a patient in the ICU who overdosed on prescription medication requiring intubation? What do you do if you are a PMHNP on an inpatient unit and a client who admitted themselves on a voluntary basis suddenly states that they have decided to sign themselves out of the hospital so that they can go home to kill themselves? These are just some of the legal questions that PMHNPs must know the answers to specific to their state of licensure/practice.
In this Assignment, you investigate your states laws concerning voluntary and involuntary commitment. You also analyze a case to determine if the client is eligible for involuntary commitment.
Scenario for Week 7 Case:
You are a PMHNP working in a large intercity hospital. You receive a call from the answering service informing you that a stat consult has been ordered by one of the hospitalists in the ICU. Upon arriving in the ICU, you learn that your consult is a 14 year old male who overdosed on approximately 50 Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) tablets in an apparent suicide attempt. At the scene, a suicide note was found indicating that he wanted to die because his girlfriends parents felt that their daughter was too young to be dating. The client stated in the suicide note that he could not live without her and decided to take his own life. Although he has been medically stabilized and admitted to the ICU, he has been refusing to talk with the doctors or nurses. The hospital staff was finally able to get in touch with the clients parents (using contact information retrieved from the 14 year olds cell phone). Unbeknown to the hospital staff, the parents are divorced, and both showed up at the hospital at approximately the same time, each offering their own perspectives on what ought to be done. The clients father is demanding that the client be hospitalized because of the suicide, but his mother points out that he does not have physical custody of the child. The clients mother demands that the client be discharged to home with her stating that her sons actions were nothing more than a stunt and an attempt at manipulating the situation that he didnt like. The clients mother then becomes nasty and informs you that she works as a member of the clerical staff for the state board of nursing, and if you fail to discharge her child right now she will make you sorry. How would you proceed?
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Evaluate clients for voluntary commitment
Evaluate clients for involuntary commitment based on state laws

To Prepare for this Practicum:
Review the Learning Resources concerning voluntary and involuntary commitment.
Read the Week 7 Scenario in your Learning Resources.
Research your states laws concerning voluntary and involuntary commitment.
Based on the scenario, would you recommend that the client be voluntarily committed? Why or why not?
Based on the laws in your state, would the client be eligible for involuntary commitment? Explain why or why not.
Did understanding the state laws confirm or challenge your initial recommendation regarding involuntarily committing the client? Explain.
If the client were not eligible for involuntary commitment, explain what actions you may be able to take to support the parents for or against voluntary commitment.
If the client were not eligible for involuntary commitment, explain what initial actions you may be able to take to begin treating the client.

Thinking back to our previous handouts, you have three main components for your intro section, plus one more component that I’m going to mention here.
Frame of reference
Grounds for Comparison
Thesis Statement
This week I’m going to add one more point-
1) Hook-
You want to start off your paper by grabbing the reader. Think back to Dr. Conway’s article on optimism and pessimism, she started by mentioning that there has been a huge increase in grandparents caring for their grandchildren and she gave us some stats about it. Or, how about the article by Sharon Begly, she started with the Dalai Lama; Verbeek started his article by mentioning that previous research has found that behavioral treatment are just as effective as medication for insomnia. Think about your topic and find something interesting to grab the reader- it could be something from current events, a definition of a disorder, or a statistic related to your topic.
2) Frame of reference:
There were a few questions about this last week. The frame of reference is the frame for the two articles, i.e. what is the topic of the two articles. For this assignment, that’s easy to figure out, just look at your two articles and figure what point that are trying to prove. For the topic of homosexuality the topic is whether homosexuality is biologically based on environmentally based. For the abortion topic, the frame of reference is whether or not abortion leads to unwanted mental health problems.
1 a. Define political culture and identify its characteristics? Does the media play a role in shaping US political culture?

9. Choose a country (of your choice) that scored below 20 and a country that scored above 79 on the corruption perception index (2016) (http://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_perceptions_index_2016). Describe the major differences between their geographic positions, economic status (developing or developed), cultural backgrounds, types of crime problems including local, transnational and international crime, legal systems, policing structure/ practices and punishment philosophies. (You can make a table and show the differences). Discuss which of the above two factors explain or relate to the high and low levels of corruption and why.
