ASSESSING, DIAGNOSING, AND TREATING ADULTS WITH MOOD DISORDERS

/in /by

Develop a Focused SOAP Note, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

  • Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomatology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life? 
  • Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?  
  • Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
  • Plan: What is your plan for psychotherapy? What is your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and non pharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also incorporate one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy.
  • Reflection notes: Reflect on this case. Discuss what you learned and what you might do differently. Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), social determinates of health, health promotion, and disease prevention that takes into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

1st peer post

Steven Williams

Hello, everyone. I am in my second semester (currently taking my fifth and sixth classes in the program). I have been an RN since 2012 and have worked in the mental health field since 2000. I am a nurse manager over two forensic psychiatric units, specializing in competency evaluations for individuals facing felony charges. I have worked at my current job since 2015. I entered this program to obtain the education necessary to continue rising up the ladder. I hope to settle into a director position within the next three years.

Prompt 2:

Recent events I believe are related to climate change include widespread wildfires and unseasonably warm temperatures.

Human-created emissions of greenhouse gases have led to increase in heat extremes (NASA, n.d.). As I write this, it is October 30. The temperature was in the high 70s as recently as a few days ago and was in the low 80s last weekend where I live (Kentucky).

Dry, hot conditions provide fuel for wildfires (NASA, n.d.). Although wildfires can be caused by humans acting carelessly, the condition of vegetation stimulates the spread of fires after they start (NASA, n.d.).

Individually, we can prevent wildfires by not starting fires in dry conditions and not leaving fires unattended. We need to make sure the fire is extinguished before moving on. Institutionally, local media needs to effectively communicate when conditions are unsafe for burning. In rural Kentucky, local government uses social media and highway signs to communicate when “burn bans” are in place.

As nurses, we can advocate for our facilities to be smoke-free and complete safety checks to ensure lighters and/or tobacco units are not being used. We can inspect equipment before using to ensure no frayed wires or other hazards are in play. We can dim or turn off lights when possible to conserve electricity and work to minimize waste.

Rickell Cox

Hello, my name is Rickell Cox and I am new student to Gallen college RN to BSN program. My goal to improve my knowledge in the nursing field as I lee earn a higher degree in nursing. I currently practice in Richmond Virginia specializing in OR nursing. Climate change is constant across the region. One of the latest event is global warming effects. “According to the 
2022 Global Climate Report from NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, every month of 2022 ranked among the ten warmest for that month, despite the cooling influence from the 
La Nina climate pattern in the tropical Pacific”. Global warming is life treating due to extreme weather changes”. On July 6, 2023 recent events that indicate Earth's climate has entered uncharted territory. Global warming and deforestation, the drought that has fueled large wildfires that have made the air hazardous for millions.” Also global warming effects air pollution, landslides, that leading to destroying communities. Way to stop global warming are planting trees, turn off electric devices, recycle, drive less, etc. A second  event,”Hurricane Ida made landfall at Port Fourchon, Louisiana, on August 29, 2021 as a category 4 storm with 150 mph winds. There is no way we can prevent a hurricane. Climate changes effects the world in many different ways including lost on species, health risk, severe storms, and more. It is important for us to help the climate in any way possible. As nurses we advocate with green cleaning products, and recycling at all times and encouraging are patient to do the same.

Respond to two (2) of the following prompts:

  1. Consider the social stratification of your family tree. Compare your social standing to that of your parents and grandparents. If you are unfamiliar with these people, feel free to substitute other family members or acquaintances from other generations. (USLO 3.1)
  2. What social traits did your forebears pass down to you? Is there consistency or inconsistency in your family’s status? Which theoretical approach best describes your family’s social stratification? What changes do you anticipate for your family’s future generation? (USLO 3.1)
  3. Consider your own experiences with social mobility. How do rules, laws, and societal structures promote wealth and poverty? Do you believe that rules, laws, and societal structure have a greater impact on social mobility than individual traits such as a strong work ethic? Do you believe social mobility has decreased or risen in recent years? How could rules, laws, and societal structures impact your future social mobility? What are some strategies for dealing with this future possibility? (USLO 3.2)
  4. What is the relationship between subjective, absolute, and relative poverty and inequality/inequity? Who benefits from poverty, inequality, and inequity? Can policies be enacted to eliminate various forms of poverty and break the cycle of poverty? What are the advantages and disadvantages of enacting such policies? What role does the cycle of poverty play in maintaining social stratification, especially for women through the global feminization of poverty? (USLO 3.3)
  5. Which of the three theoretical approaches (functionalist, conflict, or symbolic interactionist) would you use to explain why healthcare injustice and inequity occurs and what to do about it? (USLO 3.4)
  6. What role does healthcare injustice play in perpetuating the system of stratification? How does the healthcare system maintain social stratification? Is healthcare injustice harming our society as a whole? (USLO 3.4)

advance directives

/in /by

Part I

The Advance Health Care Directive  

Locate a copy of an advanced directive (AD) that complies with the laws of the state in which you work. The organization in which you work should have a copy of an advance directive that is given to patients. If not, download your state’s Advance Directives here http://www.caringinfo.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3289.Links to an external site.

 Part I: 

  1. Identify where you obtained the AD and explain its compliance with state law.
  2. Conduct research (1-2 sources) to learn more about the AD in your state and explain how it works.    
  3. Discuss how easy or difficult it was to complete the AD. Your comments should be specific and both objective and subjective. For example, when you state your personal feelings, you must relate them to the literature (textbook and research) that discusses this process and the difficulties that many people face when completing an advance directive. 

(Cite/ reference any sources you use to explore these questions, including your texts.) 

Part II

Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Form 

  1. What is a Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) formLinks to an external site.?
  2. When should this form be completed?
  3. Who can complete the form?
  4. Who needs to sign the form to make it a legal document?

(Cite/reference any sources you use to explore these questions, including your texts.) 

Part III

Tie the two first sections together by writing a summary and conclusion. 

This section should address:

1. the differences between an Advance Health Care Directive and the POLST,

2. the RN’s important role in assuring the patient’s right to autonomy in choosing the healthcareinterventions the patient does or does not want.

Public health interventions, defined
Interventions are actions that public health nurses take on behalf of individuals/families, communities, and systems,
to improve or protect health status (Minnesota Department of Health, 2001, p. 1).

 Surveillance is “an ongoing, systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of health-related data essential to
the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice” (World Health Organization, 2018).

 Disease and health event investigation systematically gathers and analyzes data regarding threats to the health
of populations, ascertains the source of the threat, identifies cases and others at risk, and determines control
measures.

 Outreach locates populations of interest or populations at risk and provides information about the nature of the
concern, what can be done about it, and how to obtain services.

 Screening identifies individuals with unrecognized health risk factors or asymptomatic disease conditions in
populations.

 Case-finding locates individuals and families with identified risk factors and connects them to resources.

 Referral makes a connection to necessary resources to prevent or resolve problems or concerns. Follow-up
assesses outcomes related to the utilization of the resources.

 Case management is a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation,
and advocacy for options and services to meet client needs. It uses communication and available resources to
promote safety, quality of care, and cost-effective outcomes.

 Delegated functions include: 1) direct care tasks a registered professional nurse carries out under the authority
of a health care practitioner, as allowed by law, and 2) direct care tasks a registered professional nurse entrusts
to other appropriate personnel to perform.

 Health teaching involves sharing information and experiences through educational activities designed to
improve health knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills (Friedman, Cosby, Boyko, Hatton-Bauer, & Turnbull,
2011).

 Counseling involves establishing an interpersonal relationship at an emotional level, with the goal of increased
or enhanced capacity for self-care and coping.

 Consultation seeks information and generates optimal solutions to perceived problems or issues through
interactive problem-solving.

 Collaboration enhances the capacity to promote and protect health for mutual benefit and a common purpose.
Collaboration involves exchanging information, harmonized activities, and shared resources (National Business
Coalition on Health, 2008).

 Coalition-building helps promote and develop alliances among organizations or constituencies for a common
purpose. It builds links, solves problems, and/or enhances local leadership to address health concerns.

 Community organizing is “the process by which people come together to identify common problems or goals,
mobilize resources, and develop and implement strategies for reaching the objectives they want to accomplish”
(Center for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas, 2017).

 Advocacy is the act of promoting and protecting the health of individuals and communities “by collaborating
with relevant stakeholders, facilitating access to health and social services, and actively engaging key decision-
makers to support and enact policies to improve community health outcomes” (Ezeonwu, 2015, p. 123).

 Social marketing is a process “that uses marketing principles and techniques to change target audience
behaviors to benefit society as well as the individual” (Lee & Kotler, 2016, p. 9).

 Policy development places health issues on decision-makers’ agendas, establishes a plan of resolution,
determines needed resources, and results in laws, rules and regulations, ordinances, and policies. Policy
enforcement compels others to comply with the laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, and policies created in
conjunction with policy development.

Public health practice levels
Public health interventions are population-based if they consider all levels of practice. The three inner rings of the
model represent this concept. The inner rings of the model are systems-focused, community-focused, and
individual/family-focused.

A population-based approach considers intervening at all possible levels of practice. Interventions may be directed at
the entire population within a community, the systems that affect the health of those populations, and/or the
individuals and families within those populations known to be at risk.

 Systems-focused population-based practice: Changes organizations, policies, laws, and power structures. The
focus is not directly on individuals and communities but on the systems that impact health. Changing systems
often impacts population health in a more effective and lasting way than requiring change from every individual
in a community.

 Community-focused population-based practice: Changes community norms, attitudes, awareness, practices,
and behaviors. This practice level is directed at entire populations within the community or occasionally toward
target groups within those populations. Community-focused practice is measured in terms of what proportion
of the population actually changes.

 Individual/family-focused population-based practice: Changes knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, practices, and
behaviors of individuals and families. This practice level is directed at individuals, alone or as part of a family,
class, or group. Individuals receive services because they are identified as belonging to a population at risk.

PROFESSIONAL NURSING AND STATE-LEVEL REGULATIONS

Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.
