The Psychiatric Evaluation<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The three most important components for the psychiatric interview are building a therapeutic relationship, history of present illness, and if they are currently suicidal (Carlat, 2017).\u00a0 Carlat (2017) talks about the importance of warmth, empathy, and relationship building is and can be the reason a patient continues treatment or drops out.\u00a0 If a patient doesn\u2019t have trust or rapport with the clinician, their commitment to treatment will be lost in the first interview (Carlat, 2017).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 History of present illness, or HPI, is also very important and is considered the most important part of the evaluation by Carlat (2017).\u00a0 If a new client has been diagnosed and treated for a disorder for 20 years, knowing what has worked or failed in the past is essential to avoid repetition.\u00a0 If a patient presents with a depressed mood, knowing the cause of depression could direct your treatment options.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The most important part of a psychiatric evaluation is current suicidal ideations or desire to be dead.\u00a0 This answer to this question could be the difference between discharge, voluntary admission, or an involuntary hold.\u00a0 Knowing risk factors for suicide and warning signs will help you assess if the patient is at imminent risk or not (Carlat, 2017).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Evidence-Based Rating Scale<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The evidence-based rating scale assigned was the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale or AIMS.\u00a0 The Abnormal Involuntary Movement scale is the screening tool used to look for the abnormal movements of Tardive Dyskinesia caused by dopamine receptor blocking agents in antipsychotics.\u00a0 \u00a0Gebhardt et al. (2008) found the AIMS assessment to be both reliable and valid.\u00a0 As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, it will be likely to care for a schizophrenic, as 1% of the population will develop schizophrenia in their lifetime (Sadock et al., 2015).\u00a0 Schizophrenia is commonly treated with antipsychotics and up to 20% of those treated with antipsychotics for over a year develop Tardive Dyskinesia or TD (Sadock et al., 2015).\u00a0 Newly diagnosed schizophrenics taking antipsychotics typically do not show signs of TD for at least six months (Sadock et al., 2015).\u00a0 This shows the importance of the HPI in the psychiatric interview and knowing past diagnoses and treatment for schizophrenia (Carlat, 2017).\u00a0<\/p>\n
