[Verified Answer]: post. Case Study: You are the nursing case man

post. Case Study: You are the nursing case manager at a community health clinic that serves a large number of patients who are uninsured. You follow closely a lot of patients who are being seen for chronic mental illness, with bipolar disorder being the most prevalent diagnosis. Most of these patients have difficulty maintaining relationships, staying employed, securing a stable place to live, managing money, and taking their medication regularly. Many live in motels on Main Street, but tend to be transient. Smoking rates are high among this group of patients. This week, a winter storm struck your community, and the clinic is closed for several days due to power outages. You are concerned about the welfare of this group. Describe your top three nursing priorities, and which assessments and interventions you would use. Which assessments and interventions are individually focused, and which are population focused? One example of a vulnerable population is found in human trafficking. While we don’t always recognize victims of human trafficking, statistics show nurses and healthcare providers do come in contact with them while they are being trafficked. They are seen in the healthcare system, often multiple times, before they escape or are rescued. I hope this information empowers us to recognize opportunities to intervene and help.
