Week 5 Assignment

Determine a Treatment Plan

Instructions

Refer to the case study from Week 4’s assignment.  You have been asked to determine a treatment plan to address his psychosocial needs while he is in the hospital and provide ideas to his unit’s discharge planner regarding possible aftercare. Be sure to recommend community resources that can help other clients who face similar issues as Juan.  In preparing this treatment plan, remember that social workers recognize personal values and the distinction between personal and professional values; you should demonstrate the following knowledge and skills:

apply methods of assessment with diverse clients and constituencies to advance practice effectiveness.

apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment, person-in-environment, and other multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks in the analysis of assessment data from clients and constituencies;

develop mutually agreed-on intervention goals and objectives based on the critical assessment of strengths, needs, and challenges within clients and constituencies; and

select appropriate intervention strategies based on the assessment, research knowledge, and values and preferences of clients and constituencies

select and use appropriate methods for evaluation of outcomes;

The following Monday when you returned to work, you notice that Juan was admitted to the hospital for acute pancreatitis and alcohol withdrawal. He is still admitted, but is not medically stable, as his physical health has been neglected for years due to a lack of health insurance because Juan is an undocumented worker at the local packing plant. He was also recently evicted from his apartment due to his landlord fearing he would get into trouble for housing an undocumented worker. Therefore, Juan has been staying at a local homeless shelter for men. Juan informed staff over the weekend that he has been working in the U.S. to send money home to his family who still resides in Mexico. Juan misses his family and has been self-medicating his depression with alcohol. You have been asked to provide a treatment plan to address his psychosocial needs while he is in the hospital and provide ideas to his unit’s discharge planner regarding possible aftercare. Be sure to recommend community resources that can help other clients who face similar issues as Juan.
