Based on scenario, rate 0 or 1 for listed risk factors
Dan is a 63 year old man who has been institutionalized for the last 8 years. He was first admitted to a psychiatric hospital at the age of 23 and has been in and out of local and state hospitals for treatment 22 times in the last 40 years. Between hospitalizations, he lived in various living arrangements, but he has since settled into the institution and has become a well-known resident. In the institution, he cannot be directed. He goes where he wants when he wants. He leaves group settings without warning, and walks around the hospital visiting offices and people as he pleases. He carries pieces of paper with phone numbers, often with no names attached, and frequently the numbers are incomplete. He will hand these papers to people at random and demand that they call a number but he cannot say whom to ask for. If someone refuses, Dan gets irritated at the lack of cooperation. He rarely conducts a coherent conversation. He answers questions with unrelated questions of his own. At times he humors himself with his own hard to follow stories; at other times his stories result in him getting angry and loud, as if someone has just done something to him. Dan does not seem to hallucinate, but little of what he says is rational. He occasionally annoys the other residents and the residential manager has had a few talks with him to address that behavior after a few residents lodged complaints about him. Dan has no serious health problems. He does complain of occasional aches and pains and likes to put rubbing alcohol on his sore spots. All of his next of kin are deceased but a sister-in-law from out of state calls and writes him occasionally which he appreciates. When he calls his acquaintances, they tolerate him for a while and let him ramble on before politely terminating the call. He is not currently involved in an intimate relationship and expresses no interest in having one. Dan has no religious affiliation but goes to chapel sometimes to see what is going on. This is the only healthy way that he spends his free time. Dan can get irritated and verbal, but he is not aggressive. Dan loves cars and trucks. He used to be a "backyard" mechanic and wants to work on cars. When pushed on the subject he admits that he probably would have difficulty on the newer, more complex cars. He carries any kind of paper manual on cars he can get. Dan has been arrested a few times in the last year for trespassing but he has never been convicted. Dan never sleeps through the night and can be seen napping just about anywhere during the day. He might be able to live in a group Dan never sleeps through the night and can be seen napping just about anywhere during the day. He might be able to live in a group home, but with his inability to follow directions and poor judgment staff are doubtful that he would be able to manage living so independently. However, as the institution provides for all his basic needs, having to take care of himself is not a problem. Dan does not work and did not have problems when he previously worked in a warehouse, but since he is approaching retirement age, staff has agreed. that there is no need to pursue employment goals. He does not recognize or acknowledge that he has a problem and therefore does not participate in following his care plan.
