Psychiatric Nursing 

CASE STUDY 1
 
A 53-year-old woman comes to a psychiatrist’s office complaining about a headache, “strange pains” in her arms and legs, and always being tired. As the nurse, you gather additional history before the patient sees the psychiatrist. She reports on and off jaw pain and stomach pains, cold sweats, and light-headedness. You glance at the patient’s history where you notice that she is being treated for hypochondriasis, which manifests as her being preoccupied with having a heart attack. 
 
 
1. What should you do first?
2. What should be the focus of treatment?
3. What is the practitioner’s concern when prescribing benzodiazepine to treat hypochondriasis?
