ESU is centrally located in Hillcrest, CA., is an **outpatient clinic with a CSU (Crisis Stabilization Unit) designation**. ESU has been the only screening and assessment LPS facility for youth, in an acute psychiatric crisis, in the county since 1995.
Please review the following duties for LVNs with additional as-needed tasks:
**1. Screening Patients**: LVNs provide guidance to parents/guardians/providers and community members that has a child or is working with a youth in crisis to guide them through the ESU process. LVNs complete observations and informal assessments of youth while on the locked ESU unit. They will also assess the child's current mental state and identify any symptoms of a mental health crisis to report to the RN or Clinician.
**2. Developing Discharge Plans**:Based on the assessment, the psych RN will work with ESU MDs, the child and their family to develop a plan that addresses the child's mental health needs while the LVN continues to meet the needs of the youth and support the youth with the discharge plan. This discharge plan may also be coordinating a transfer to an inpatient bed for higher level treatment
**3. Monitoring Medications**: If the child is prescribed medication, the LVN will monitor their medication regimen. They will also monitor the child for any side effects or adverse reactions to the medication as well as assess for any emergency meds necessary
**4. Crisis Intervention**:The LVN may also provide crisis intervention services, such as responding to suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors.
**5. Documentation**: The LVN will maintain detailed records of the child's treatment and progress by completing 2-hour progress notes.
