Assignent Solutionnurs

1,500 words There is no specific structure required. What you will need to do is have some structure and a clear presentation of the client situation, your assessment of their health and well-being needs, and a summary formulation that provides a clear rationale for why you are referring them to your colleague for additional support as part of a discharge plan. This written assignment is to be presented in the form of a professional report. There are many types of professional report that social workers may write, including reports requested by courts, the coroner, and presenting assessment and intervention information for client records or case reviews. For this assignment, you will need to imagine yourself in the position of a hospital social worker who has completed a bio-psycho-social-assessment (Don’t forget spiritual, sexual, cultural aspects of the assessment) with the person at the centre of the case study. You are writing a professional report as part of referral to a colleague in the community. That colleague may be an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker or another professional (such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, occupational therapist, or specialist counsellor service). A report accompanying referral is a representation of your professional judgement and an introduction for your client to this new professional. Things to remember: – It is good practice to give the person a copy of your referral report. Keep this in mind as you write – write it in a way that you would be happy for that person to read! – You will need to analyse the information in the case study in order to develop a clear assessment as your rationale for your referral. That means more than summarising descriptive information. – You will need to incorporate your knowledge from the social work literature to analyse the information available in the case studies. – All the case studies have partial information – avoid making stu up if it’s not there, work with what you have. However, in this ”role play”you may take some creative liberty to support you story as long as you provide collaborating evidence (. where did these details come from?). You may note that some important elements will require further assessment Please select one from the following cases: (Appendix 2: Case studies. Published Oct 2014, Criteria and application for Accreditation as a Mental Health Social Worker updated March 2018) Case study 1: Alyssa Alyssa is a 14-year-old female who has recently moved from Brisbane. Alyssa and her mother (Diane, 33 years old) had moved to Brisbane for Diane’s temporary job. Diane and Alyssa then moved back to their home town, once the Brisbane position ended.

Alyssa reports that her mother, Diane, spends all her time either at work or with her boyfriend. This is Diane’s rst relationship, since Alyssa was born. Alyssa tells you that ’the boyfriend’ is totally wrong for her mother, Alyssa thinks he is too old and that he is just using her mother. He is in between houses having sold one and not yet purchased another and her mother has allowed him to move into their home. Alyssa tells you that he uses her bathroom and that disgusts her. Alyssa reports that she misses her friends from her school in Brisbane and doesn’t really have any friends locally despite having lived in the town most of her life. She tells you when she returned she didn’t stop talking about how she missed her Brisbane friends and as a result the ’old friends’ told her to go away.
