ForwardConversations in Ethics: Caring for the Mentally Ill Patient in an Acute Care Setting
The identification and treatment of the mentally ill in an acute care setting frequently presents significant challenges for the provider. Whether the question is to assess the risk to self or to others in an emergency department presentation or the capacity of a patient to make end-of-life decisions in a critical care unit, the provider is called to make decisions that involve not only clinical issues but also legal and ethical considerations. Unfortunately, our state ranks quite high in the prevalence of mental illness. This makes the presentation of a mentally ill patient to our care a frequent occurrence.
Please join us as Dr. Rafael Rivas-Vazquez discusses different complex patient care situations and treatments for the psychologically compromised patient.
