My placement incident/case:
The case involved an unsettled service user in the unit where I did my student nurse placement. It is an adult rehab unit meaning it is not a secure unit. Patients that are not sectioned under Mental Health Act can leave the unit but are still required to inform a member of staff when leaving the unit just in case of any appointments/plans other may involve the service user or in case of a fire outbreak. The service user in question was causing lots of trouble in the unit by leaving the unit overnight even in weekends without letting staff know and returning to the unit intoxicated of all sorts of illegal stuff- cannabis, spice and anything available to him. When confronted he said he is not sure what he had taken. His attitude is now affecting other service users in the unit, because some of them started copying his bad behaviour. To rescue the situation the manager decided to get the police involved. The police came with their sniff dogs to sniff the whole unit. All service user rooms were searched and sniffed by the dogs. Two service users were detected of substances by the sniffer dogs. So a USD test was carried out on both of them but the result was negative. All service was included in the inspection to ensure fairness. Unfortunately the service user in question was not on the ward when inspection was carried out. My responsibility was to carry out USD test as well as show the police around the unit and also to ensure that the service user on ward remain on the ward during the inspection. The decision taken improve situation drastically afterwards because the patient in question became more settled and started working with staff.
