Title: A guard tells an inmate diagnosed with schizophrenia to ask the desk officer for a mop and bucket, t Post by: new-york-er on Oct 21, 2015 A guard tells an inmate diagnosed with schizophrenia to ask the desk officer for a mop and bucket, then get some water from the shower area and mop the kitchen and hall. The inmate does not comply. The guard becomes angry and cancels the inmate's recreation time. Which action by the correctional nurse is most appropriate?
a. Document the inmate's response as indicative of resistance and psychopathology. b. Do not intervene. Intervention is not part of a correctional nurse's scope of practice. c. Confer with the prison psychiatrist regarding reevaluation of this inmate's antipsychotic medication regime. d. Explain to the guard that this inmate has difficulty following multiple instructions. Suggest stating one idea at a time. Title: Re: A guard tells an inmate diagnosed with schizophrenia to ask the desk officer for a mop and bucke Post by: espreso on Oct 23, 2015 Content hidden
