  2. An initial goal of assessment is to build therapeutic rapport with the patient. Describe the interpersonal skills that you will use to engage the patient. (Interpersonal skills are skills involved in communication, listening, emotional intelligence, and skills used to work in groups.)
  3. Describe at least three specific problems that you noted that would need to be addressed during the course of treatment.
  4. Describe at least two risks that this patient may face as a patient with a potential diagnosis of schizophrenia?
  5. Identify one goal that you would recommend for this patient. (We’ll talk more about developing goals in the next week.)
  6. If you were the hospital social worker that was assigned to work with this patient, what might you find challenging?
