Cathy is a 26 year old girl, who has been taken to a mental health care facility by her parents. They reported that she has been isolating herself, staying awake most nights and seems to be talking to herself for the past 1 month. Cathy admits that she is hearing voices sometimes and has been using cannabis on a regular basis since a month. Answer the following questions 12.1) Identify the mental health condition Cathy is suffering from?
12.2) Discuss how you would manage her as an Enrolled Nurse. (40-80 words)
Homework Answers
The mental health condition Cathy is suffering from is cannabis-induced schizophrenia as based on the epidemiological, clinical and experimental evidence that supports an association between the effects of cannabis and psychoses including schizophrenia that may be caused. I would manage this as an Enrolled Nurse by making sure that Cathy is not able to abuse cannabis anymore. Further based on her personal cultural preferences I will offer to counsel using the support of her friends and family. If required proper medication of schizophrenia may be recommended i.e. the antipsychotics.
