John is a 30-year old married male who feels down most of the time. He experiences frequent, intrusive thoughts that he is not good enough, despite personal and professional successes. He tries to overcompensate for his thoughts by taking on more than he can handle, which leads to failure and furthers his feelings of inadequacy. He reported the following to his therapist: “I feel pretty worthless and have felt that way for a long time - for over ten years. It feels normal to be down. Sometimes I start to feel better, but it never lasts - I feel bad about my life most of the time. I don’t think that I’ll amount to anything and l might never be successful at work. I feel exhausted all of the time. I have trouble sleeping. I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night and can’t stop thinking about all of my failures. Maybe I’m just pessimistic.”

Emma Jackson, a 1-year widow who lost her job 3 months ago, has spent 2 days in a row, from morning till time to pick up her kids at the school bus stop, waiting in an emergency department to get help for what appears to be severe depression.
Now, at the end of this second day sitting in the waiting area, she approaches the admitting nurses’ station in tears and says, “I don’t know how much longer I can take this. Don’t you recognize me?”
“No, ma’am, I’m sorry,” the nurse says. “Offhand, I don’t.”
“Well,” says Emma, “I’ve come in here 2 days in a row. I need help, and I can’t get in to see anybody because I’m not bleeding to death, but I’m desperate! I’ve spent the last 2 weeks, until yesterday, in bed. And yet I can’t sleep. Do you know how many days I’ve been without sleep? I’m so exhausted and so depressed I’m tempted to shake my kids for the least little thing, and I now have zero tolerance for careless drivers and sometimes I just want to drive straight into them to teach them a lesson, and that’s not like me. My kids are becoming my only reason for going on, and that’s not good for them. I think they can see it, and it scares them. They’re trying to be super-good…”
Thinking of how her despair is affecting her children, Emma bursts into uncontrollable sobs.
Later that night, though, she changes her mind and approaches the night nursing staff about checking herself out. The nurse on duty discourages her; when Emma then asks to take her cell phone back to her room to call her brother, the nurse says, “Why don’t you stay here at the station while you make your call.”
Emma becomes very angry and anxious, so the nurse isn’t sure if she should hand her the phone in that condition. The nurse tries to give her an oral sedative to help her calm down awhile before making her call, but Emma pushes it angrily away and says, “I’m not leaving this spot until I can talk to my brother!”
What should the nurse do in this situation? What recourse does she have when this patient will not comply with requests and, more significantly, refuses her medication?
