HPI - 34 yo male sent to ER after an intentional drug overdose. Pt reports he wanted to kill himself - "tired of living this life", took a handful of pills - Klonopin, Seroquel, Invega, stool softener and Tegretol. Pt reports he took all those pills over the past few hrs and had attempts in the past. Sister called EMS. Presently he denies CP, SOB, N/V or abd pain.
ROS - Head, Nose, Pharynx, CV, RESP, GI, Musculo, and Neuro
PMH - schizoaffective disorder, multiple suicide attempts.
SH/FH - Disabled, drug use, mother deceased, sister alive
PE - 11 systems examined.
Labs, EKGs - done
Pt admitted to ICU with IV saline. Will consult psychiatrist for further evaluation
What would be the level for this? I'm getting a level 3 due to the pt's chronic mental illness.
