Discussion Post: Criminal Mind
1) A "criminal minds" individual will be your "patient".
2) A brief history of the patient including diagnoses (documented or your thoughts if no diagnosis is recorded) and medications (if applicable). Not a lot of gory details about their crimes.
3) Any substance abuse, addiction or violence issues surrounding this mental health problem.
4) List appropriate nursing interventions for your chosen patient. Include sources for evidence-based practice. What might have made the difference between functional mental illness to the progression to criminal behavior?
5) Include 3 relevant Nursing Diagnoses for your patient.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
