28
When can I decline to treat
Scope of practice (legal and ethical) Clinical skills (legal and ethical) Exposure of infection (legal; not ethical) Torture/Execution (ethical?; legal?) Referral (not legal or ethical) Reproductive health (legal and ethical) * *separates personal and professional ethical assessment --> conscience clauses
29
Conscience clauses

34
When can we forego medical interventions
When it is likely to offer little benefit to patient (i.e. CPR, feeding tube, ventilation, dialysis).

35
Conflicting interest
Risk of use can compromise patient outcome Financially: investment in drug under investigation; enrollment fees; inducements; prescribing to owned facilities Legal and Ethical issue Avoid conflicts, and when cannot --> disclose conflicts (clinically; giving talks; publishing etc.)
36
Competing issue
Both have claim and must happen Negotiate to accomplish both (i.e. kid at soccer game and clinic or have assistant do informed consent to avoid coercion) Ethical not legal issue
37
Privacy
Limited government role Family decisions; family planning; abortion Termination of life-sustaining treatment
38
Confidentiality
Government involved HIPAA : letter and spirit of the law Key is to never open a chart w/o a legitimate reason
39
Confidentiality exception issues
Public health reporting (infectious - epidemiology, containment, contacts, notificaiton, vaccination, quarantine-, firearms, elevated blood lead, cancer, birth defects) Tarasoff - known risk factors to known persons Impaired professionals Emancipated minors Patients/others at risk (think driving in elderly)
40
Tarasoff v U of Cal
A case in which the Supreme Court of California held that mental health professionals have a duty to protect individuals who are being threatened with bodily harm by a patient. The original 1974 decision mandated warning the threatened individual, but a 1976 rehearing of the case by the California Supreme Court called for a "duty to protect" the intended victim. The professional may discharge the duty in several ways, including notifying police, warning the intended victim, and/or taking other reasonable steps to protect the threatened individual.
41
Shiavo
The trial included testimony from eighteen witnesses regarding her medical condition and her end-of-life wishes. Michael Schiavo claimed that his wife would not want to be kept on a machine where her chance for recovery was minuscule. According to Abstract Appeal Trial Order, her parents "claimed that Terri was a devout Roman Catholic who would not wish to violate the Church's teachings on euthanasia by refusing nutrition and hydration." Judge Greer issued his order granting the petition for authorization to discontinue artificial life support for Terri Schiavo in February 2000. In this decision, the court found that Terri Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state and that she had made reliable oral declarations that she would have wanted the feeding tube removed.[21] This decision was upheld by the Florida Second District Court of Appeal[24] (2nd DCA) and came to be known by the court as Schiavo I in its later rulings.[25]
42
Tuskagee Syphilis Study
as an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama. They were told that they were receiving free health care from the U.S. government.[1]

51
Questions to elicit change talk
Desire: Do you want, like, hope...? Ability: Is it possible, what could you do? How would you do that? Reasons: What would the benefits be for you? Why would you make this change? Need: What should/do you need to do. Remember D.A.R.N. change is hard!
52
Questions to initiate conversations about change
What are the benefits and drawbacks to the proposed plan for change? It sounds like you don't like... What would you like? Because? How would that feel? What can the medication do for you? What worries you the most about surgery? What problems have you had with exercise in the past?
53
Four productive questions to ask in MI?
How important is this change to you? How confident are you that you can make this change? How has this behavior kept you from moving forward? Does it feel like there is a block?
54
How to properly listen
Eye contact Reflect what you've heard every 1-2 min First part is most important Silence is OK I'm sorry- can be enough Be honest w/ your time limitations If you feel stuck, the patient probably does too. Listen for tone in voice. REFLECTIVE LISTENING. SUMMARIZE EARLY AND OFTEN.
55
Change talk that predicts action
Commitment: I am going to, I will, I intend to... Taking steps: I actually went out and...
56
Informing patient in motivational interview

59
Why people do not change
Ambivalence Resistance Personal struggles
60
Ambivalent patient
Most people want to feel healthier and feel uncomfortable with change Patients usually know good reasons for change and they enjoy the status quo too Reason to change Reason not to change Stop thinking about change Ask patient to tell you their pros and cons Ask what's next
61
Resistant patients
Natural tendency Pushing for adherence can decreases adherence!!! Many reasons for resistance to change (money, lack of support, religious beliefs, etc) Key is to ask about sources of resistance, avoid arguing/lecturing/reflect/offer empathy Encourage the patient to come up w/ a new perspective/way to solve the problem Ask what has worked in the past. Use scale 1-10
62
I can see what you mean but...
Offer patience and acceptance Reflect both sides of patient's ambivalence
63
Just tell me what you think I should do
Ask how will this work for you?
64
I really can't cope at all...
Patient overwhelmed Convey understanding Point out patient strengths
65

Goes up w/ more intense care 5% in general pop 10% in medical outpatient setting 15% in inpatient.
70
Why integrate behavior health and physical care services
We don't have enough time - 6 problems for 13 minutes 1. ) compromised physical health is associated w/ behavioral health prblems 2. ) Compromised behavioral health may lead to physical problems 3. ) Stigma and underutilization/underavailability of mental health services 4. ) Compartmentalized understanding of health
71
Factors underlying link between heart disease and a/d
1. ) Lack of self-care - poor diet, minimal exercise 2. ) Sleep problems - insomnia triples heart risk 3. ) Obesity --> depression --> heart dx 4. ) Blood vessels changes - a/d have increased production of free radicals and fatty acids 5. ) Stress - increased insulin and cholesterol levels, increased bp, effects on immune system Anxiety doubled risk of death from any cause D&A triple risk (70% were heart attacks)
72
Core Components of Integrated Care
1. )Biopsychosocial Spiritual model 2. ) Collaboration - flattened hierarchy, mutual respect 3. ) Three world view -financial clinical, and operational points of view in mind when treating patient
73
Process of Coping
Environmental Event (i.e. test) --> Primary Appraisal (assessment of the situation i.e. must pass test) --> Secondary Appraisal (assessment of resources that are available i.e. notes, flaschcards, etc.) --> coping behaviors (i.e. studying, sleeping, eating well) --> coping outcome (biological, psychological, and behavioral) Coping is adaptive if it decreases stress Coping is maladaptive if it makes stress worse
74
Coping techniques
``` Relaxation CBT Stress inoculation Exercise Social Support Pharmacologic interventions (B-blockers and benzos are first line for phsyiologic stress relief) Biofeedback ```
75
Learned helplessness
Repeated efforts to exert control in situations that fail to achieve an organism's desired effects lead to a sense of helplessness or loss of sense of control.
