Nursing IVC and Crisis assignment

For this assignment, you will need to write in narrative form.   PLEASE NOTE THAT CUTTING AND PASTING THE INFORMATION FROM WEBSITES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT.  This is very important because you may need this information quickly and not have time in an emergency to be trying to figure this out.   

1. Identify your state

2. Identify the process of IVC in your state in your own words, not taken from a website and pasted.

3. Does your state have an outpatient commitment? What is the process, and what facilities in your area could a patient go to for this treatment?  Specific names of places to suggest to a patient in your area, if available, or surrounding areas.

4. Identify the crisis intervention resources and any other services where a patient can be sent in a psychiatric emergency situation, such as a mental health facility. In your area, do you have a crisis center? Do you have a crisis line? List the resources, including the  crisis line, as follows

XYZ Crisis Center

phone number

address

hours 

referral process

If you do not have either, say that and then document if your law enforcement officers are trained in crisis management for psychiatric emergencies.

5.  You must use numbered titles for each section (example 1. Identify your state) with bold font.  

It may take you some time to find this information, so plan your time accordingly.  You can call the magistrate's office, your local crisis center, or the Emergency Department to help find this information as well as any other source you find.
