Discharge Summary
0900: Third involuntary admission in the past six months. The client was admitted four days ago because of florid psychosis. During the stay, the client was stabilized with their prescribed aripiprazole. Once stabilized, the client reported nonadherence to aripiprazole because they 'forget.' It is documented that the client also missed two follow-up appointments for some unknown reason. The client was prescribed aripiprazole oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) to optimize adherence versus tablets. Provided two refills and a follow-up appointment at discharge. Thorough counseling was provided regarding the dosing schedule. Considering the client's repeated nonadherence, there is a high probability of readmission. Will consult case management for follow-up.
