Bipolar Case
After studying Module 5: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following:
Case Study
Jill, a 24 y/o Hispanic female arrives in the emergency room where her
parents brought her for evaluation. They are worried because she is
giving away all of her possessions and says she is planning to move to
the South Pole so she can “save the world.” Her parents say that she has
hardly been sleeping at all for the last 7 days, but she seems very
energetic. They say she has appeared to be “in a frenzy” lately. When
you interview Jill you notice that she speaks very rapidly and is laughing
uncontrollably. It is hard to get her to be quiet long enough for you to ask
questions. She seems agitated and has difficulty sitting still.
Questions:
Remember to answer these questions from your textbooks and clinical
guidelines to create your evidence-based treatment plan. At all times,
explain your answers.
1. Summarize the clinical case including the significant subjective
and objective data.
2. Generate a primary and two differential diagnoses. Use the
DSM5 to support the assessment. Include the DSM5 and ICD 10
codes.
3. Discuss a pharmacological treatment would you prescribe? Use
the clinical guidelines to support the rationale for this treatment.
4. Discuss non-pharmacological treatment would you prescribe?
Use the clinical guidelines to support the rationale for this
treatment.
5. Describe a health promotion intervention that would be
appropriate for this patient.
