- Describe at least three specific problems that you noted that would need to be addressed during the course of treatment.
- Describe at least two risks that this patient may face as a patient with a potential diagnosis of schizophrenia?
- Identify one goal that you would recommend for this patient. (We’ll talk more about developing goals in the next week.)
- If you were the hospital social worker that was assigned to work with this patient, what might you find challenging?
