The existence of the dilemma necessitated adopting a favorable model of solving the stalemate. According to Ozturk, Tugba & Bulent, 2016, problem-solving is a scientific process that begins from identifying the problem to the evaluation of the solution. The major problem, in this case, is that both the husband and the wife cannot agree on most of the things and that none can guide or advise the other. The wife blatantly disobeys the prior instructions by not taking the drugs as prescribed. She instead becomes violent and abusive. The husband on the other hand is not able to control the explosive nature of his wife. Furthermore, the husband wants the wife to e admitted whereas the wife is against it.
The issues raised by both s are weighty. However, considering the ethical principles, autonomy, and justice to the patient must be served. Admitting the patient would ensure that the prescribed drugs are adhered to and that the constant fights between her and the husband would reduce. Furthermore, the use of drugs within the facility would ensure that her symptoms are controlled. From the foregoing, admitting her was deemed best for both parties. However, the husband was asked to sign a form of forced admission which the physician countersigns.
The client is admitted and the following drugs are prescribed: Zyprexa and an injectable Invega Sustana. The injection is administered as a start dose then administered after two weeks then monthly after. Zyprexa on the other hand is administered orally twice a day for the two weeks duration of admission. The consequence of this decision was that the positive and negative symptoms were greatly reduced, the patient developed insight and the husband understood the condition better.
