Assignment: Assessing And Treating Pediatric Patients With Mood Disorders

Mood disorders can impact every facet of a human being’s life, making the most basic activities difficult for patients and their families. This was the case for 13-year-old Jeanette, who was struggling at home and at school. For more than 8 years, Jeanette suffered from temper tantrums, impulsiveness, inappropriate behavior, difficulty in judgment, and sleep issues.

As a PNP working with pediatric patients, you must be able to assess whether these symptoms are caused by psychological, social, or underlying growth and development issues. You must then be able recommend appropriate therapies.

This week, as you examine antidepressant therapies, you explore the assessment and treatment of three populations: pediatrics, adults, and geriatrics. The focus of your assessment tool, a decision tree, will specifically center on one of the most vulnerable populations, pediatrics. Please remember, you must also consider the ethical and legal implications of these therapies. You will also complete a Quiz on the concepts addressed throughout this module.  Assignment: Assessing And Treating Pediatric Patients With Mood Disorders

Assignment: Assessing and Treating Pediatric Patients With Mood Disorders

When pediatric patients present with mood disorders, the process of assessing, diagnosing, and treating them can be quite complex. Children not only present with different signs and symptoms than adult patients with the same disorders, they also metabolize medications much differently. Yet, there may be times when the same psychopharmacologic treatments may be used in both pediatric and adult cases with major depressive disorders. As a result, psychiatric nurse practitioners must exercise caution when prescribing psychotropic medications to these patients. For this Assignment, as you examine the patient case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat pediatric patients presenting with mood disorders. Assignment: Assessing And Treating Pediatric Patients With Mood Disorders

To prepare for this Assignment:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources, including the Medication Resources indicated for this week.

· Reflect on the psychopharmacologic treatments you might recommend for the assessment and treatment of pediatric patients requiring antidepressant therapy.

The Assignment: 5 pages

Examine Case Study: An African American Child Suffering From Depression. You will be asked to make three decisions concerning the medication to prescribe to this patient. Be sure to consider factors that might impact the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.

At each decision point, you should evaluate all options before selecting your decision and moving throughout the exercise. Before you make your decision, make sure that you have researched each option and that you evaluate the decision that you will select. Be sure to research each option using the primary literature.

Discussion: Compare Types Of Diabetes

Each year, 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes (American Diabetes Association, 2019). If left untreated, diabetic patients are at risk for several alterations, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. There are various methods for treating diabetes, many of which include some form of drug therapy. The type of diabetes as well as the patient’s behavior factors will impact treatment recommendations.

For this Discussion, you compare types of diabetes, including drug treatments for type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

Incorporate the following into your responses in the template: Assessing And Diagnosing Patients With Schizophrenia

• Subjective: What details did the patient      provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology 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 priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5      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.
• Reflection notes: What would you do differently      with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in      your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations      (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for      treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into      consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and      other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
