Comprehensive Integrated Psychiatric
Assessment
Comprehensive Integrated Psychiatric Assessment
The comprehensive integrated psychiatric assessment of a child
or adolescent consists of gathering information from not only the
child but from several sources, most notably the family members,
caregivers, and the child’s teacher or school counselor. Because of
this, the diagnostic assessment becomes more complicated.
Issues of confidentiality, privacy, and consent must be addressed.
Also, the PMHNP must take into consideration the impact of
culture on the child.
In this Discussion, you review and critique the techniques and
methods of a mental health professional as he or she completes a
comprehensive integrated psychiatric assessment of an
adolescent.
