Medical imaging of her brain showed an acute infarct due to a thrombus involving the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territories. On arrival to the Emergency Department, Leslie\u2019s son provided signed consent provided for her to receive thrombolytic therapy (Alteplase), which was completed. She has been transferred from ED to the ward. Leslie has severe right-sided upper limb weakness and mild lower limb weakness. She continues to display mild dysphasia (i.e. word finding difficulties) and mild dysarthria (i.e. slurred speech) which makes it difficult for people to always understand what she is saying. Added to the communication difficulties Leslie is experiencing short-term memory loss that only serves to increase her feelings of frustration. She is also presenting with a right sided homonymous hemianopia which is impacting her ability to read (i.e. hospital menu\/forms). A swallowing assessment is required to performed by the speech pathologist to determine if it is safe for Leslie to swallow tablets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past Medical History<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>High cholesterol<\/li>\n<li>Osteoporosis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Regular Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Panadol 500mg tablets PRN qid<\/li>\n<li>Atenolol 50mg tablet bd<\/li>\n<li>Atorvastatin 80mg tablet nocte<\/li>\n<li>Aspirin 300mg tablet daily<\/li>\n<li>Heparin 5000 S\/C units bd<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Social History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She is a widow with two sons (Michael and Greg).

It is believed Charlie took an intentional polydrug overdose of approximately 20 x 500mg Paracetamol tablets. She is also suspected of having taken a number of Olanzapine tablets. On arrival to ED she was drowsy and unable to maintain her airway requiring intubation and ventilatory support. Ingestion of tablets was estimated to have been less than two hours from the time she was found unconscious. So to reduce further drug absorption activated charcoal was administered down a nasogastric tube and Acetylcysteine infusion commenced to protect Charlie from possible liver damage. Treatment continued until her serum paracetamol concentration levels were below toxic levels. Blood results showed normal serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) levels and a Prothrombin Time (PT) within normal limits suggesting no permanent liver damage had occurred. Over several hours her condition continued to improve and a decision was made to stop sedation and to allow her to wake up. Having spent most of the night in ED she was extubated in the morning and transferred to the ward. After being seen by the on-call psychiatrist, she was judged not to be a high-risk of self-harm but has remained on the ward waiting to be transferred to Graylands mental health hospital for further management as a voluntary patient. Transport has been booked for 12pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past Medical History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At the age of 17 Charlie was hospitalised in a child and Adolescent Mental Health Clinic because of a drug-induced psychosis. Her continued use of substances such as marijuana and amphetamines has made her condition worse. Symptoms of delusional behaviour and reporting of hallucinations are complicated by mood swings between depression and mania.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Charlie first presented to the ED accompanied by her mother with a one-week history of being in a highly agitated state. Over the past week Charlie had fluctuating mood swings. During this time she had not slept and hardly had anything to eat or drink. The day before Charlie presented to ED her mum had noticed a sudden change in mood. She began to express suicidal thoughts and an impulse for self-harm. Mum is not exactly sure how many tablets Charlie had taken but the two packets of Panadol she had recently purchased were empty when she found Charlie collapsed on the floor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regular Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Olanzapine 10mg tablet od<\/li>\n<li>Lithium 300mg tablet tds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Social History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A conversation with Charlie\u2019s mum reveals that as a child, Charlie was always a bit eccentric <em>\u201cin her own world\u201d.<\/em> This manifested itself during adolescence with Charlie finding it increasingly difficult to engage with her peers and establish friendships. Charlie was regularly attending high school until at the age of 14 <em>\u201cshe got mixed-up with the wrong sort\u201d<\/em> and started to take drugs and abscond from school. The situation worsened when Charlie started a relationship with her ex-boyfriend Gary. The relationship began to deteriorate when Gary started to beat her up. She eventually ended the relationship, but Gary found this difficult to accept. Charlie has now a restraining order placed on her ex-boyfriend. Since then Gary has made several unsuccessful attempts to make contact with her (hospital security has been notified that ex-boyfriend is not allowed to visit Charlie should he make an attempt to do so). Last year Charlie decided to move back and live with her mum again. Mum is supportive of her daughter\u2019s attempts to stop recreational substance abuse. Charlie has not seen her dad since he left home when she was four years old.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Charlie has an IV infusion of N-Acetlycysteine Infusion 22mg\/100mL Normal Saline<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0to reverse the effects of the Paracetamol. Charlie is lying quietly on the bed in a depressive state. Charlie\u2019s mood is one that expresses emptiness, sadness and worthlessness. It is not uncommon for Charlie to start crying unexpectantly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Observations<\/strong><\/p>\n<table width=\"406\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"132\">Temperature<\/td>\n<td width=\"274\">36.2oC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"132\">Pulse\/ Heart Rate<\/td>\n<td width=\"274\">75\/min Regular<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"132\">Respiration<\/td>\n<td width=\"274\">16\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"132\">Blood Pressure<\/td>\n<td width=\"274\">115\/65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"132\">SpO2<\/td>\n<td width=\"274\">98% RA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Please provide a detailed discussion of the pathophysiology and symptom profile of Charlie\u2019s diagnosis.<\/li>\n<li>Please provide the following information.
