Select one substance covered within this course and develop a comprehensive Nursing Case Study for a theoretical person who is using that substance. Write a history to provide your faculty with an understanding of the theoretical patient that you will be basing this study on; this should include the patient’s personal history, history of substance use, family history (including medical and substance use), medical, and psychological history. Because this is not a real person, you can assign a name and there is no need to refer to your theoretical patient by initials only; however, do not select the name of anyone you know personally or have met professionally. Your case study should include the following: 1. Assessment and screening tools used to determine where your case study client is along the continuum of substance use. Include the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders to support your judgment. Provide two substance assessment/screening tools appropriate for the substance and include the rationale for your choices. 2. Detoxification management from the chosen substance for your client. Be sure to include: medical management, nursing care, physiological and psychological events during detoxification, and potential complications during detoxification. Include a treatment plan post detoxification (short term). Develop a relapse prevention plan (long term). Describe your plans and what they would include based on the individual needs of your patient. Use strategies that are based on evidence.
