General Directions: 

Read the following scenario. In your initial post, respond to each of the questions below.

You are preparing to initiate a telepsychiatric videoconferencing session with Jarrett, a 16-year-old client who has recently been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, severe without psychotic features (F32.2)  following a suicide attempt. After a week of inpatient care, Jarrett returned home. He lives in a 2-bedroom apartment in a subsidized affordable housing development with his mother, stepfather, and two younger brothers. His father is currently not involved in his life. He and his siblings attend school virtually.

Include the following sections:

1. Application of Course Knowledge: Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail.

1. 1. Describe the ideal setting for your visit. What is or is not suitable to have in your workspace?
   2. How will you guide Jarrett in preparing his space for the session?
   3. How will you obtain consent? Who must consent to treatment?
   4. What additional requirements apply to adolescent telepsychiatry?
   5. How might you assess the impact of the social determinants of health on Jarrett’s treatment plan?
   6. How will you create a safety plan for Jarrett? Who should be involved in the plan?

SOLUTION

The ideal setting for a telepsychiatric session is a private, quiet, and well-lit space free from distractions. My workspace should be professional, with a neutral background and no personal or distracting items. It guarantees privacy and leaves a positive and healing ambiance to be enjoyed by those in the environment. Thus, Jarrett’s space should also be closed to other people, which……………………………….purchase solution at $10 only
