Please use the infor below to writer an expanded SOAP note. I attached a file with instructions on the required informations and another file that’s a sample of a completed expanded SOAP note. Please make up an required information that is missing for the patient information provided below.
Reason for admission:
Patient was admitted due to concerns about depression and suicidal thoughts.
HPI:
55 year old female
Patient states that she has had no prior treatment for depression until recently. She has no prior hospitalizations for mental health. Patient reports that she has had some depression in the past but denies that there has ever been an episode of extended depression. She has also never had an episode of mania or hypomania.
Patient reports that she has had more depression that corresponds to worsening health symptoms. She developed fatigue and weakness that worsened enough that she sought out medical care. She did test positive for covid at that time. One month ago she developed substantial neuropathy in her lower legs and arms. This was described as pins and needles. She was started on Neurontin which helps but she still has the neuropathy and it waxes and wanes.
Patient has been very discouraged by this and has developed substantial depression.
Patient developed more suicidal thoughts over the past 3-4 weeks. Her family got more concerned by this, especially since she was making videos that they interpreted as good-bye videos.
Patient states that did have thoughts of shooting self.
Today patient states that she does not believe she would carry out a suicide because of her family and her religion. She denies suicidal thoughts today. She does report depressed mood.
She has no evidence of psychosis.
Patient was placed on hold in the Emergency room, but now is willing to stay voluntary.
According to ER report:
HPI Tina Logan is a 55 year old female with a history of hypothyroidism, HLD, and asthma who presents to the emergency department for evaluation of suicidal ideations. She reports that over the past two months, starting mid-May she has had increasing thoughts of ending her own life. She feels as though he depression has getting more severe. She has no history of suicidal ideation prior to the past couple of months, and no previous history of suicide attempts. She is having thoughts of making a plan, and has had thoughts of shooting herself with a fire arm or jumping off a roof. She has actively called hotels in the area to see if they have a roof she can have access to in order to carry out her plan. She also made goodbye videos within the past week in preparation for potential suicide attempt. She is not having any auditory or visual hallucinations, and no drug or alcohol use. She has not been admitted to the hospital previously for mental health concerns, although she believes that her family would like her to be. She has not engaged in any self harm behavior, and just endorses suicidal ideations at this time. Her mother is at bedside with her.
MDM This is a 55 year old female with a history of hypothyroidism presents to the emergency department with a complaint of suicidal ideation. Patient reports that she has struggled with depression for several months, and she feels like it is worsening. She denies any homicidal ideation. Denies any daily drug or alcohol use. She does have a plan, which would be to shoot herself, or jump off the roof of a building. The patient has been taking actions to call hotels to see which one might have a roof that she could jump off of.
On exam patient is calm and cooperative. She does not have any other complaints at this time.
I think with the patient having suicidal ideation, with a specific plan, and actually taking actions to seek out a roof to jump off of that she will need to be held in the emergency department until her mental health team can speak with her. HOA is placed, DEC orders placed. Mental health boarding order set is also placed.
Patient spoke with DEC, they would recommend inpatient placement. They state that the patient is borderline holdable. At this point I do not feel that the patient is safe to go home. She has active suicidal thoughts with plans, and is acting on some of them. It is very concerning. I did place a 72-hour hold on the patient. I did let the patient know, and she states that she does not want to stay. Patient states that she would like a room with a window. I did advise her that none of the exam rooms in the emergency department have windows. Patient is on the list for inpatient psych.
According to DEC assessment done in ER:
Referral Data and Chief Complaint

Factors that make the mental health crisis life threatening or complex are: Pt presents to the ED with her mother for worsening suicidal ideation with specific plans and recent preparatory behavior.

She does not have access to firearms at home. She has also filmed goodbye videos on her phone for her parents, husband, and children. She tells this writer that she filmed these videos in the event that she does not survive her “illness” rather than filming them in anticipation of completing suicide.
