**Maslow Hierarchy of Needs/Rational (top 2 priorities)

- Willingness to comply to care plan: “What are some goals that you have for today?”
- The patient responded to this patient with the following, “I want to practice my coping skills that I have learned but I want to cope, I do not think that they work.”
- In response to this I said, “you mentioned earlier that deep breathing helped you at moments, could you show me how you do it exactly?” and followed up with proving additional teaching on other methods to cope with stress.**
**Current Medications (Include Therapeutic & Side Effects)
- This client is currently not taking any medications and is not on any medications prior to this admission, this is evidenced by the client’s chart. One of the care plan interventions consisted of starting the client on Wellbutrin 100 mg po daily, as indicated for the psychiatric diagnoses.
