_______________________________Discussion: Sleep/Wake Disorders order code 0070004002019BBSubject Area Courseworktask (TSE) A new Task-No.of pages/Wordcount 2 pageUrgency 6 to 12 hours. Citation Style APA StyleAssignment Details Discussion: Sleep/Wake DisordersIt is not uncommon to experience a night or two of disrupted sleep when there is something major going on in your life. However, sleep/wake disorders are much more than an occasional night of disrupted sleep. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that between 50 and 70 million American have problems with sleep/wake disorders (CDC, 2015). Although the vast majority of Americans will visit their primary care provider for treatment of these disorders, many providers will refer patients for further evaluation. For this Discussion, you consider how you might assess and treat the individuals based on the provided client factors.Learning ObjectivesStudents will:Assess client factors and history to develop personalized therapy plans for clients with sleep/wake disordersAnalyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in clients requiring therapy for sleep/wake disordersEvaluate efficacy of treatment plans for clients presenting for sleep/wake therapyApply knowledge of providing care to adult and geriatric clients presenting for sleep/wake disordersLearning ResourcesNote: To access this week’s required library resources, please click on the link to the Course Readings List, found in the Course Materials section of your Syllabus.Required ReadingsNote: All Stahl resources can be accessed through the Walden Library using this link.

To access the following case studies, click on the Case Studies tab on the Stahl Online website and select the appropriate volume and case number.Case 1: Volume 2, Case #16: The woman who liked late-night TVCase 2: Volume 2, Case #11: The figment of a man who looked upon the ladyCase 3: Volume 1, Case #5: The sleepy woman with anxietyReview this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide.Go to the Stahl Online website and examine the case study you were assigned.Take the pretest for the case study.Review the patient intake documentation, psychiatric history, patient file, medication history, etc. As you progress through each section, formulate a list of questions that you might ask the patient if he or she were in your office.Based on the patient’s case history, consider other people in his or her life that you would need to speak to or get feedback from (i.e., family members, teachers, nursing home aides, etc.).Consider whether any additional physical exams or diagnostic testing may be necessary for the patient.Develop a differential diagnoses for the patient. Refer to the DSM-5 in this week’s Learning Resources for guidance.Review the patient’s past and current medications. Refer to Stahl’s Prescriber’s Guide and consider medications you might select for this patient.Review the posttest for the case study.Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleagues’ postings.
