Write my Paper on Details of task: Assessment Task 1: Essay – Assessment

The purpose of this assessment item is to assess your learning that is your ability to provide safe and effective mental health nursing care that is evidence based
practice on the chosen mental health nursing topic. The assessment essay will be divided into smaller sections.

Adherence to APA 6th edition conventions for all referencing.
A minimum of twelve references are to be used from a variety of sources- journal articles, texts, edited works, government publications and conference proceedings.

Background:
George is a 27 year old single male who has had four admissions in the past to the local acute MH service.
He was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his late teens, this is a diagnosis that he is not comfortable with, nor agrees with, and is reluctant to take the prescribed
medications to endeavour to treat his illness.
George is currently admitted to the acute unit on an assessment order because of non-adherence to medication.

His current medication is Risperidone.
This is further complicated by the fact that George has a long history of using cannabis. George prefers to use cannabis to treat his illness, rather than the
medication prescribed by the psychiatrist.

Critically examine health factors that might complicate George’s adherence to his prescribed medication of Risperidone, drawing upon current Mental Health Nursing
evidence to support nursing strategies that can assist George in gaining better adherence to his prescribed medication.

Word Length: 2,000 words

For each section see essay details (plus or minus 10%, excluding the reference list. Work will only be marked to the word limit).
Adherence to APA 6th edition conventions.

A minimum of twelve (12) references are to be used from a variety of sources – journal articles, texts, edited works, government publications & conference proceedings.

References must be within seven years of 2017 unless citing seminal works.

Some advice from the subject coordinator:

A small intro and conclusion (this should be no more than 500 words roughly), only leaves you 1500 plus 10%, so 3 or 4 points or factors that you feel are essential to
address for this person to be addressed, these of course should be clearly linked with your strategies and if you support these strategies with evidence to support
your claim

addressing the essay question through social, emotional, behavioural and physical wellbeing, address the entire person

lack of insight is a problem, along with his choice of drug use

caring for George when he is in hospital but also lasting interventions with some continuity of care, so look at carrying these out within the community, either via
his gp or community MH services

in the intro you could say george has 4 admissions for his mental illness and non compliance,
in terms of the medication there is no mention that he has side effects to the meds, and you could think about what side effects this drug has, and screen for those as
this might be a problem of why he does like them, could be an important point to address, but I would not focus on med management,

Addressing psycho education for George
