Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

The body is constantly sending signals about its health. One of the most easily recognized signals is pain. Musculoskeletal conditions comprise one of the leading causes of severe long-term pain in patients. The musculoskeletal system is an elaborate system of interconnected levers that provides the body with support and mobility. Because of the interconnectedness of the musculoskeletal system, identifying the causes of pain can be challenging. Accurately interpreting the cause of musculoskeletal pain requires an assessment process informed by patient history and physical exams. Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

In this Discussion, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

To prepare:

  • By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to one of the following specific case studies for this Discussion. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
  • Your Discussion post should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style Discussion posting format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient case.
  • Review the following case studies:

A 42-year-old male reports pain in his lower back for the past month. The pain sometimes radiates to his left leg. In determining the cause of the back pain, based on your knowledge of anatomy, what nerve roots might be involved? How would you test for each of them? What other symptoms need to be explored? What are your differential diagnoses for acute low back pain? Consider the possible origins using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) guidelines as a framework. What physical examination will you perform? What special maneuvers will you perform?

This week there are 3 case studies…all musculoskeletal issues. My favorite assessment!! You will be creating a SOAP note with differentials. Be sure to follow the rubric…each case study will have you implement some evidence based resources to make your diagnostic decisions. Be sure to utilize these in your rationale for what testing you would need to do. The assignments for this week are as follows: Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

Discussion 1

See Van, a 35-year-old married Hmong-American woman recently underwent an annual Papanicolaou test (Pap smear) at her Certified Nurse Midwife’s practice, and the results were abnormal.  Her provider diagnosed her with low-grade cervical dysplasia.  What alterations at the cellular level would you expect to see with this diagnosis? Provide and discuss with your colleagues S. V.’s prognosis. Support your discussion with citations from the textbook, external credible literature and/or reliable electronic sources.

Remember to respond to at least two of your peers. Please refer to the Course Syllabus for Participation Guidelines & Grading Criteria.

Sample Discussion Response

When undergoing an annual pap smear test and being told that it was abnormal can be scary. As a family nurse practitioner one must be able to discuss the prognosis and treatments options for their patients during a scary time. However, it is also important to discuss with patients the importance of annual testing and especially with woman in child-bearing age. See Vans provider diagnosed her with low-grade cervical dysplasia at her annual pap smear screening. This is when there is abnormal cells that are found on the surface of ones cervix (Laughlin-Tommaso, 2020).  When a pap-smear is done there is a collection of cells from the squamocolumnar junction of the cervix (Laughlin-Tommaso, 2020).  When this is seen in cervical dysplasia squamous metaplasia causes the squamous cells to replace columnar cells (Cooper & McCathran, 2020). When this happens it allows for the entrance of human papillomavirus. Due to See Van only having low-grade cervical dysplasia treatment is not needed. When it comes to low-grade cervical dysplasia no treatment is needed, so given this See Vans prognosis is fair (Cooper & McCathran, 2020). However she should continue to get regular pap smears every year in order to follow up and ensure that the cervical dysplasia has not turned into a more aggressive form. Also given her ethnicity her chances of it turning into a more aggressive form is rare due to this condition being most common in Hispanic females. Sue Van also being married gives her a better prognosis because this helps to determine that she has only had one sex partner (Cooper & McCathran, 2020). However, it is still important for Sue Van to continue to been seen every year for her annual test to ensure her condition has not worsened. N512 Advanced Pathophysiology Assignment 1

Re: Dean Discussion 1

by Lorri – 

Hi C,

Thanks for the informative post. I too think that S. V.’s prognosis is good; however, you can’t really make an assumption that she has had only one sex partner based on the fact that she’s married. We don’t know how many partners she’s had, or how many her husband has had in the past. I agree that she should be tested annually, but according to Cooper and McCathran (2020), patients with a low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) should return once a year for co-testing for the following 2 years, which involves a repeat Pap smear with HPV molecular testing, as the majority of the lesions will regress on their own. If HPV remains positive at either of the next 2 annual follow up visits, the patient would be referred for colposcopy, and if all tests are negative at both the 1- and 2-year follow-up visits, return for retesting with HPV-based testing in 3 years is recommended (Perkins et al., 2019).
I think you make a great point that S. V. should be screened on a regular basis, and I would say that a more in-depth sexual history would also be necessary. The USPSTF (2020) currently recommends the utilization of other health screens such as HIV, and depending on whether she has an increased risk, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screenings as well.

Week 10: Neurocognitive and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

The human brain only constitutes approximately 2% of an individual’s total body weight, a percentage that pales in comparison to the brain’s level of importance in human development (Koch, 2016). Although externally protected by layers of membranes as well as the skull, the brain is not very resistant to damage. Damage to the brain may compromise its functionality, which may, in turn, lead to neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood and adolescence or neurocognitive disorders for any number of reasons across the lifespan. NRNP 6635 Week10 Assignment Walden

This week, you practice assessing and diagnosing neurocognitive and neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan.

Neurodevelopmental disorders begin in the developmental period of childhood and may continue through adulthood. They may range from the very specific to a general or global impairment, and often co-occur (APA, 2013). They include specific learning and language disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, and intellectual disabilities. Neurocognitive disorders, on the other hand, represent a decline in one or more areas of prior mental function that is significant enough to impact independent functioning. They may occur at any time in life and be caused by factors such brain injury; diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or Huntington’s; infection; or stroke, among others. NRNP 6635 Week10 Assignment Walden

For this Assignment, you will assess a patient in a case study who presents with a neurocognitive or neurodevelopmental disorder.

To Prepare:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide. Consider how neurocognitive impairments may have similar presentations to other psychological disorders.
  • Review the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation template, which you will use to complete this Assignment.
  • By Day 1 of this week, select a specific video case study to use for this Assignment from the Video Case Selections choices in the Learning Resources. View your assigned video case and review the additional data for the case in the “Case History Reports” document, keeping the requirements of the evaluation template in mind.
  • Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
  • Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
  • Identify at least three possible differential diagnoses for the patient. NRNP 6635 Week10 Assignment Walden
By Day 7 of Week 10

Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate primary diagnosis.
Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

  • 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.).
