Capacity

Capacity Requirements:
___Patient demonstrates the ability to delineate a clear and consistent choice
___Patient demonstrates an understanding of their medical conditions and their link to current decision (i.e. knowing medication list if responsible for own home medications)
___Patient able to identify available alternative treatment options (i.e. going home vs staying in hospital, declining surgery for favor of medication interventions only, etc.),
___Patient able to weigh risks and benefits of available options in order to come to a conclusion that is consistent with their goals
___Patient able to process information provided in a rational/reasonable way
___ Patient's choice not made in the setting of an acute worsening of underlying depression, psychosis, etc.
 
Patient appears to lack capacity to make a consistent discharge decision at this time. Lacking even one element of capacity requirements may be grounds for patient losing capacity.
- Per Virginia state code, the primary service is required to have documentation of their own assessment of the patient's capacity.

- recommend- recommend re-evaluation of patient, as patient's mental status is currently waxing and waning.
- per the consult question of capacity for patient to leave AMA, at the time of evaluation the psychiatry team determined
 
This patient does not have capacity regarding refusal to leave AMA prior to appropriate medical stabiliztion, as the patient fulfills 2/4 criteria of the criteria below to demonstrate capacity:
 
o The patient can communicate a clear and consistent choice, yes, would like to go home.
o The patient can demonstrate understanding of the relevant information, unclear at this time. Patient states he know what medications he needs to take when he goes home but is unable to repeat back to provider what they are. He is also unsure of when he would need to take these medications.
o The patient can demonstrate an appreciation of the situation and its consequences as it applies to the patient, patient demonstrated a cursory understanding and stated he is "ok" with dying and believes it is his right to do so. He denied SI.
o The patient can rationally manipulate information, unclear at this time.
 
This capacity assessment is specific to the decision regarding leaving the hospital prior to medical stabilization at this point in time. This assessment of capacity cannot be extrapolated to unrelated decisions without further assessment.
 
Please note: The primary team must also document their capacity assessment as 2 providers are required to remove a patient’s capacity. The primary team’s assessment is the main assessment, and Psychiatry is a second opinion.
 
Additional information regarding capacity:
Capacity can be fluid and can be reversible. Only one provider is needed to restore capacity
The primary team will need to identify a surrogate decision maker to make medical decisions for the patient while they are determined to not have capacity  
Capacity is not synonymous with competency. Capacity is fluid and is determined by health care providers. Competency is a permanent determination made by a court of law.  re-evaluation of patient, as patient's mental status is currently waxing and waning.

Procedure:  Using modified seldinger technique, the appropriate vessel was located with the catheter placed.  Wire advanced once "flash" returned. Pulsatile flow was verified and a good arterial waveform verified by bedside monitor. The site was reprepped with chlorprep solution followed by a suture to secure the line and placement of a sterile dressing. Hemostasis was assured at the termination of procedure.
