3 Denial of Rights Only when good cause exists That the exercise of the specific right would be injurious to the patient That there is evidence that the specific right, if exercised would seriously infringe on the rights of others That the institution or facility would suffer serious damage if the specific right is not denied That there is no less restrictive way of protecting the interests specified in the above
4 Voluntary Patient is willing to accept treatment on a voluntary basis The right to discharge themselves from a facility at any time The right to refuse anti-psychotic medication The right not to be placed in seclusion and/or restraint, absent an emergency situation
5 Involuntary Detention Purpose of involuntary treatment is to provide evaluation, proper treatment, and legal protection for mentally disabled individuals, not to limit patient s rights Use of 1:1 sitters for supervising of DTS/DTO on medical floors At end of 72 hours 5250 vs Voluntary vs Discharge

12 Tarasoff Tatiana Tarasoff vs UC Berkeley Psychotherapists bear a duty to use reasonable care to give threatened persons such warnings as are essential to avert foreseeable danger arising from a patient s condition Call SFPD to file a report. Notify SFPD when patient is discharged Social workers can help facilitate
13 Risks for Assault Mentally ill, particularly those who are off meds, with a weapon, drugs or alcohol on board Patients with a diagnosis of Bipolar disorder who are manic Those with a history of assaultive behavior Young males age 18-22, lower socioeconomic group with substance abuse
14 Knowing Yourself and Your Effect on the Patients You become a safety risk if you do not have yourself in control Most assaultive incidents, patients to staff, occur when the staff loses control Employee attitudes influence client behavior
15 Self Control Self control enables critical thinking Fight or Flight Avoid power struggles Over-reacting situation can escalate Under-reacting safety compromised
16 Assault Cycle Baseline Triggering event Escalating warning signs Crisis/Assault violence Recovery can re-escalate Most patients fall asleep Post crisis patient feels ashamed or embarrassed Not a time to talk to the patient Remember: Relaxed muscles to not fight; busy hands do not hit!
17 4 Reasons for Assault FEAR: feels threatened, trapped or their basic well-being compromised Threat reduction for perceived safety Medications can change the internal environment Relaxed posture with open hands, slow gestures, speak in soft and low tones using brief phrases, avoid physical contact
18 4 Reasons for Assault FRUSTRATION: an expression of destructive rage from pent-up frustration Lend control to help patient gain self control Stand with back straight with square shoulders, nod for emphasis, speak in low tones with clear and action oriented directives, give direct eye contact, avoid physical contact
19 4 Reasons for Assault MANIPULATION: an indirect attempt to obtain or avoid something Examples: temper tantrum- yelling, banging, stomping, etc. playing the numbers staff splitting, asking multiple staff members promoting confusion brings in related, but irrelevant matters to cause confusion Detachment for healthy re-engagement and/or requests Relaxed muscles, closed posture (arms folded or behind back), subtle gestures of disinterest or disapproval, speak in monotone or low volume, avoid eye contact and physical contact
20 4 Reasons for Assault INTIMIDATION: calculated attempt to get something by threatening physical injury Example: Antisocial lack empathy, believes they are not responsible for their own behavior Identify consequences for patient to make safe choices Poised and ready to move/react quickly, but not defensive; use few gestures, stand with back towards an exit or using furniture between you and the patient, be matter-offact and emotionless, avoid physical contact
21 Communication Verbal communication Empathetic listening Tone, volume, cadence Rule of 5 (use five words that are less than 5 letters) loud, simple and direct Jane! Stop that now! Setting limits pick your battles Simple, clear, reasonable and enforceable
22 Assault Prevention Exercises Personal space What is too close for you? Body space out of arms reach Body posture and motion Avoid crossing arms and looking away Moving away without turning your back Blocking punches and kicks Getting out of pinches, grabs and choke holds
