Question 1 of 5
Pablo is a homeless adult who has no family connection. Pablo passed out on the street and emergency medical services took him to the hospital where he expresses a wish to die. The physician recognizes evidence of substance use problems and mental health issues and recommends inpatient treatment for Pablo. What is the rationale for this treatment choice? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Intermittent supervision is available in inpatient settings. In an inpatient treatment setting, Pablo can receive continuous monitoring and supervision, ensuring his safety and well-being. This is crucial for someone like Pablo who is homeless, has substance use issues, and expressed a wish to die. Inpatient treatment can provide a controlled environment where his physical and mental health can be closely monitored, and immediate interventions can be implemented if needed.
Incorrect choices:
B: While stabilization of multiple symptoms is important, the key factor here is the need for constant supervision, which is better provided in an inpatient setting.
C: Although nutritional and self-care needs are important, the primary concern in this case is Pablo's mental health and safety, which can be better addressed in an inpatient setting.
D: While medication adherence is important, it is not the primary reason for recommending inpatient treatment for Pablo. The need for supervision and monitoring takes precedence.
