psychiatric nursing

I want this assignment asap -PLAGIARISM MUST BE LESS THAN 10%sychosis and schizophrenia greatly impact the brain’s normal processes, which interferes with the ability to think clearly. When symptoms of these disorders are uncontrolled, clients may struggle to function in daily life. However, clients often thrive when properly diagnosed and treated under the close supervision of a psychiatric mental health practitioner. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with psychosis and schizophrenia.Learning ObjectivesStudents will:Assess client factors and history to develop personalized plans of antipsychotic therapy for clientsAnalyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in clients requiring antipsychotic therapyEvaluate efficacy of treatment plansAnalyze ethical and legal implications related to prescribing antipsychotic therapy to clients across the lifespanTo prepare for this Assignment:Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how to assess and treat clients requiring anxiolytic therapy.The AssignmentExamine Case Study: Pakistani Woman with Delusional Thought Processes.

Why were they different?SAMPLE  ONLYNURS 6630WEEK SEVENCase 2: Volume 2, Case #11: The figment of a man who looked upon the ladyIntroductionBriefly, this is a scenario of a 42 year- old woman with a complex psychiatric history extending from depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, insomnia, visual hallucinations (little man)and impaired behavior with aggression. In the course of more than 36 months, the client was treated with Paroxetine (SSRI), Bupropion ( NDRI), Tiagabine, Ramelteon and , but finally a combination of Lexapro, Bupropion and quetiapine was able to decrease her symptoms . The client’s medical history includes diabetes, hypertension, CAD, hyperlipidemia, COPD, OSA, GERD, Glaucoma, overweight and a remote history of substance abuse.Related Professional QuestionsCertain medications or supplements can cause symptoms of mental illness and also due to her extensive medical history and usage of multiple medications I would ask the following questions:1. Do you take any over -the – counter, herbal supplements or remedies and I would check for interactions with current medication regimen?2. When and how often do you use your albuterol inhaler ? Some of the side effects of albuterol include anxiety, nervousness, and insomnia ( Cunha, 2016)Sleep Hygiene: Do you keep regular sleep schedule ? Do you drink caffeine beverages close to bedtime?Patient HistoryThe patient may not be a reliable source of information, particularly that she has a significant mental illness that affects her functioning, hence verifying her responses with her direct family members, and mental social workers to get clues to the underlying or precipitating causes of mental crisis. Also checking facility records from previous encounters, or any psychiatric hospitalizations would be useful.Diagnostics Testing1. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Based on recent evidence, the prevalence of depressive symptoms in hypothyroidism was nearly 50%, and clinical depression occurs in more than 40% of people suffering from hypothyroidism ( Bhagwat, 2017)2. Electrocardiogram (ECG) The client has cardiovascular diseases ( HTN, CAD), with risks of cardio complications. In the setting of taking antidepressants and antipsychotics, baseline ECG and possibly every three to six months would be appropriate.  Several atypical antipsychotics including quetiapine (Seroquel) are known to cause prolongation of the QT interval, hypothesized to occur via direct inhibition of the cardiac delayed potassium rectifier channel, which extends the ventricular repolarization process (Zhai et al., 2017)Differential Diagnoses1. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD)_2. Major Depressive Disorder  (MDD)3. Insomnia Disorder.Pharmacotherapy Options for Sleep/ Wake cycle1. Zolpidem (Ambien) 5mg oral at bedtime for Seven days.Zolpidem is nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic, it works by enhancing GABA inhibitory actions that provide sedative hypnotic effects more selectively than other actions of GABA (Stahl, 2017). With its side effects of sedation,  low dose prescribed as the client has respiratory problems (sleep apnea OSA)).  Studies have shown that Zolpidem did not significantly worsen OSA as measured by the numbers and duration of pauses in breathing during sleep, but in one trial, it significantly lowered minimum oxygen levels during the night when compared with placebo ( Mason & Smith, 2015).2. Trazadone 25 mg oral at bedtime for Thirty days.Trazadone is a serotonin 2 antagonist/reuptake inhibitor, used in management of depression and insomnia. It is absorbed well, metabolized by CYP 450 3A4 with average half life of 6hrs. It has less side sedative effects compared to zolpidem (Stahl, 2017)The best choice for the client would be Trazadone as there is no reliable evidence of dependence or withdraws and it can also work for the client’s depression.ConclusionThe case was a perfect example how it is sometimes difficult to find effective pharmacological treatments of psychiatric illnesses. In the course of four years, the client was prescribed 5-6 medications targeting different neurotransmitters to improve the symptoms. Client’s polypharmacy increased risks of drug-drug interactions, and her medical comorbidities increased risks of adverse reactions. Lesson learned from this study was  that treatment  should be optimally initiated after diagnosis, and augment or switching to a new agent must be carefully  done in consideration of possible  side effects and better outcomes.ReferencesBhagwat, N., Tayde, P., Sharma, P., Sharma, B., Dalwadi, P., Sonawane, A., … Varthakavi, P.

Discussion: Health Care PolicyIn this week’s media presentation, Dr. Trautman, Dr. Wakefield, and Ms. Coyle discuss how public policies initiated at the national or state level ultimately influence what occurs at the institutional and local level of nursing practice and health care delivery. Health care policy usually is developed to address health care cost, quality, or access, or a combination of the three. Due to the nature of their interaction with patients, nurses are well situated to be effective, knowledgeable advocates for their patients.In this week’s Discussion, you will examine how current policies impact how you as a nurse provide health care. You will then select an issue of interest and determine how you could advocate for policy in that area.To prepare:Select one public policy that currently is impacting you and your practice. Consider the following:What health care driver was the policy designed to address: cost, quality, access, or a combination?Does the policy appear to be achieving its intended results? On what data are you basing your assumption?What have been the effects (adverse or positive) of this policy on health care cost, quality, and access?How is this policy affecting your nursing practice?Next, select a health care issue—something you see or experience on a daily basis—about which you would like to influence a practice change through the policy process.Review the Learning Resources, focusing on Kingdon’s Model. How would you utilize this model to guide your policy development?Post a brief description of a public policy that is having an impact on your practice; summarize your analysis of the policy using the bulleted list above as a guide. Then, summarize the issue you would like to influence though a change in public policy, and outline how you would utilize Kingdon’s Model to guide your policy development.Required ReadingsMilstead,  J.

Evidence – based project

Discussion: Patient Preferences and Decision MakingChanges in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex.What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions?In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.To Prepare:· Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.· Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/.o Choose “For Specific Conditions,” then Browse an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic.NOTE: To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please DO NOT use the patient’s real name or any information that might identify the patient or organization/practice.By Day 3 of Week 8Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how including patient preferences and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life.Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 5: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice ChangeThe collection of evidence is an activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.In this Assignment, you will identify an issue or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.To Prepare:· Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4.· Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change.The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)Part 5: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice ChangeCreate an 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:· Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.)· Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general.· Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.· Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.· Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.· Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.· Add a lessons learned section that includes the following:o A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submittedo An explanation about what you learned from completing the evaluation table (1 slide)o An explanation about what you learned from completing the levels of evidence table (1 slide)o An explanation about what you learned from completing the outcomes synthesis table (1 slide)Required ReadingsMelnyk, B.

Discussion :The application of Data to problem-solving

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.To Prepare:Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?
