The nurse providing case management to a child with a mental illness will collect data from the child's parents, teachers, and other health care providers in order to:
1. Complete a mental status exam.
2. Complete a comprehensive evaluation.
3. Collaborate with individuals that are significant to the child.
4. Complete a personality profile.
2
Rationale: A comprehensive evaluation includes collecting data from the various individuals, including the child's parents, teachers, and other health care providers. The comprehensive assessment is important in order to gain understanding into the variables that impact the child's mental health. Data for the mental status exam and personality profile is not gathered from parents, teachers, and other health care providers. The purpose for gathering the data is to complete the comprehensive assessment; collaboration may be a result of the process.
