Client exhibits disruptive behavior and poor impulse control having concerns about client’s hyperactive behavior (e.g., not being able to remain on task with preferred activities, constantly jumping, cannot follow caregiver multi-step directives). Client’s distractive behavior is negatively impacting the home with caregivers. In addition, client is reverting in her independency having struggles with her self-care needs, routines, and interruptions in sleep. These behaviors are primarily present in the home environment and with parents and family. Client is having difficulties following parent directives as demonstrated in the DPICS assessment. Parent’s struggles with providing follow through on directives increases client’s inability to

The client has had a strong support system in the past and is open to creating another one. This is strength because it demonstrates that the client is open reaching out to others in times of need and is a resiliency factor.

When applying to colleges, many people have different views on the endeavor. Some people think that it is an exciting adventure filled with many turns and twists, and decisions that lead to a different outcome, while others may think that it is a stressful ideal, filled with looming questions, pressure, and “what if’s”. To Alaijah, she believed it was the latter. When I asked her how she felt, she said that it was “A heavy task. However,” She states. “Once you’ve done everything you need to do you feel accomplished.” She feels that way for the simple fact that she knows it will help her accomplish her goal of getting a better future for herself. When I asked if she thought about college a lot, she responded the way most students would respond.

Teenagers are already in a vulnerable state. With teenagers, they are constantly going through changes and really figuring out who they are as a person. In this process, it is important that the helper is not judgmental. Helper’s being judgmental can diminish the self-esteem of the teenager, and the teenager could then view the helper as being unsupportive. Helper’s being unsupportive also cause harm to the teenager because they may be sharing something person that they have not even shared with their family. It is always important to make the client feel welcomed, secured and

The “Client Scenario” video reflects the main character as a client that currently has several needs based on the fact that she has went through a divorce, has one child to provide for, and is in need of financial assistance to pay monthly bills and provide food for herself and her child. The client appears frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed, hostile, and entitled throughout the video. These are often common feelings that are displayed by clients when clients and social workers are meeting for the first time. The client is seeking services due to the needs of her family caused by unforeseen events that recently occurred, which can be a very stressful time for clients. The social worker revealed concern, empathy, and a willingness to assist the client as the social welfare policies

If this is the first and only mistake the client has made, and depending on the totality of the circumstances, I do not believe violating the client is necessary. I would ensure the client is documented for their actions and perhaps even have the client write an essay on the dangers of drug use and consequences while on probation or parole. This way, if the behavior continues, I would have a written and signed history of the offense also showing that the client was well aware of the misconduct and the actions that could be taken for any future incidents. Another action I would take, besides regular drug screens, would be to conduct some random tests without any announcement to verify that the client is in fact maintaining his or her court

Client resistance is ever present in the social work profession. As per Goldstein (1995), resistance presents itself in treatment within the client’s conscious or unconscious actions which interfere with therapeutic progress. Assessing the complex dynamic causing a client’s resistant behavior during clinical treatment is a challenging, but an essential task for goal achievement. According to Woods and Hollis (2000), understanding why a client is resistant facilitates reaching common ground with the client, enabling realistic goal setting. The causality of resistance is often discomfort associated with the client not being in a state of readiness, further emphasizing the need for mutual goal setting in order to obtain treatment progression.

As nurses we deal with several different patients in a day and it is important to understand the patient as a whole person to treat them effectively. The purpose of this assignment is to explore a patients disease to understand the nursing judgments and interventions that go with this patient, to understand medications for this diagnosis, and to understand the disease the patient was diagnosed itself. The patient described in this paper will be referred to as Jonathan to ensure patient confidentiality.

Following referral of a confused client for treatment by healthcare professionals, an initial care plan is designed. A care plan is a treatment plan agreed between the confused client and their multidisciplinary team (MDT) to address their mental health issues. It includes an assessment of the client’s health, personal and social care needs ensuring they get the best care. The MDT works with the client to achieve specific goals. The MDT may need to change the care plan depending on client’s state of health (HSE 2016).
