W2 Harriet Needs Surgery
After studying Module 2: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following:
Harriet is a 51-year-old married woman with a past history of alcohol and cocaine abuse. She has
been attending AA and NA meetings regularly and does not report urges to drink or use drugs
during the 4 years you have been her psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She needs
carpal tunnel surgery and the typical regimen during recovery is oxycodone 15 mg per day.
β’ What information would be most critical for the group leader to collect in the first visit?
β’ What is the primary goal for the treatment of this patientβs family problem, based on the
US clinical guidelines?
β’ Discuss one curative factor the group would observe during the initial, middle and
termination phases in group therapy?
β’ Identify your city. Then refer this patient to three agencies near you that would support
positive health outcomes for this patient. (These agencies must not have been used in past
discussion posts). What was your rationale for choosing these three agencies?
