NU672 Unit 4 Assignment – Adult Psychiatric Initial Interview/Assessment

NU672 Unit 4 Assignment – Adult Psychiatric Initial Interview/Assessment

Instructions

In this assignment, you will complete a comprehensive psychiatric assessment interview of an adult/older adult. This should NOT be a patient that you have encountered in your work, but instead, should be a family member or friend. Your assessment should be comprehensive, and you should refer to course texts to inform items for inclusion in your assessment. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for covering those areas addressed in the reading assignments up to this point. 

Students always ask for a template.  I have included one that can be used to guide you in not forgetting any crucial information.
