  • A “criminal minds” individual will be your “patient” from the list below for your project.
  • A brief history of the patient including diagnoses (documented or your thoughts if no diagnosis is recorded) and medications (if applicable). Not a lot of gory details about their crimes.
  • Any substance abuse, addiction or violence issues surrounding this mental health problem. 
  • List appropriate nursing interventions for your chosen patient. Include sources for evidence-based practice. What might have made the difference between functional mental illness to the progression to criminal behavior.
  • Include 3 relevant Nursing Diagnoses for your patient.
