Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 You and your partner have been sent to the Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very Very Nervous on an unknown call. Upon arrival, you and your partner are greeted by the charge nurse who informs you that they have a 47 year old female patient who is receiving inpatient therapy for bipolar disorder. She went back to her room after a therapy session. The patient normally has a manic phase lasting several days, but during her manic phase, she returned to her room and has, according to the staff, " passed out. " The nurse is unable to provide much more information about the patient other than the bipolar diagnosis. Upon patient contact, you observe a 47 year old female who is completely unresponsive. What is your treatment plan and field diagnosis? Bonus points to anyone who catches the movie reference. Wes Ogilvie, MPA, JD, NREMT-P/Lic.P.
