1NRSG 263 Case study: TEAGAN'S STORY
Case study: TEAGAN'S STORY Teagan is a 21-year-old woman and living with her partner, Amita. Teagan
and Amita have been together for 15 months; their relationship is volatile, and they have separated
several times. Last night, Teagan broke up with Amita again in a fiery exchange of insults and anger.
Teagan believed that Amita was about to leave her and fearing this relationship breakdown, she thought
she would 'get in first'. Amita admits things have been tumultuous between them for months now, and
that neither is happy, but wanted to work things out by seeing a relationship counsellor. Amita is also
concerned about Teagan's use of cannabis. Amita claims that Teagan's responses to small indiscretions
are extreme and that she is quick to make judgements about people or situations with little information.
Recently, Teagan decided that a friend of Amita's wasn't allowed to come to their house because she
had made some 'throwaway' comments about their dog. Amita says Teagan does this often, liking
people quickly for frivolous reasons, and disliking others for similar reasons. Teagan has been cutting
herself since she was 13 years old. She finds it difficult to articulate why she does it, only that she gets
relief from cutting. On a few occasions she has contemplated suicide, and many more times she has
threatened it. Amita finds this aspect of their relationship very difficult to deal with and frequently feels
as though Teagan's threats to self-harm or suicide are a way of manipulating her. This morning Teagan is
attending her GP for review of an infected suture site on her inner thigh. Teagan had cut into the wound
again earlier in the week. The GP refers her to the practice nurse for wound care. Anna usually works as
the practice nurse in the clinic but today she is off sick. Teagan becomes angry when she learns she will
be seen by registered nurse Brett instead.
