Therapy for Patients With Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)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.Learning ObjectivesStudents will:· Assess patient factors and history to develop personalized plans of antidepressant therapy across the lifespan· Analyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients requiring antidepressant therapy· Synthesize knowledge of providing care to pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients presenting for antidepressant therapy· Analyze ethical and legal implications related to prescribing antidepressant therapy to patients across the lifespanLearning ResourcesBaek, J.

He is exhibiting signs of depression.·  Client complained of feeling “sad”·  Mother reports that teacher said child is withdrawn from peers in class·  Mother notes decreased appetite and occasional periods of irritation·  Client reached all developmental landmarks at appropriate ages·  Physical exam unremarkable·  Laboratory studies WNL·  Child referred to psychiatry for evaluationMENTAL STATUS EXAMAlert & oriented X 3, speech clear, coherent, goal directed, spontaneous. Self-reported mood is “sad”. Affect somewhat blunted, but child smiled appropriately at various points throughout the clinical interview. He denies visual or auditory hallucinations. No delusional or paranoid thought processes noted. Judgment and insight appear to be age-appropriate. He is not endorsing active suicidal ideation, but does admit that he often thinks about himself being dead and what it would be like to be dead.You administer the Children’s Depression Rating Scale, obtaining a score of 30 (indicating significant depression)RESOURCES§ Poznanski, E., & Mokros, H.

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.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 pagesExamine 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.Introduction to the case (1 page)· Briefly explain and summarize the case for this Assignment.

Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources (including the primary literature).· Explain how ethical considerations may impact your treatment plan and communication with patients. Be specific and provide examples.·Decision #2 (1 page)· Why did you select this decision? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.· Why did you not select the other two options provided in the exercise? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.· What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources (including the primary literature).· Explain how ethical considerations may impact your treatment plan and communication with patients. Be specific and provide examples.·Decision #3 (1 page)· Why did you select this decision?

Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.· What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources (including the primary literature).· Explain how ethical considerations may impact your treatment plan and communication with patients. Be specific and provide examples.·Conclusion (1 page)Summarize your recommendations on the treatment options you selected for this patient. Be sure to justify your recommendations and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.Note: Support your rationale with a minimum of five academic resources. While you may use the course text to support your rationale, it will not count toward the resource requirement. You should be utilizing the primary and secondary literature.Reminder : The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references.

Learning Objectives for this assignment include:Apply the principles of delegation in the healthcare setting.Demonstrate the use of clinical reasoning in prioritizing and evaluating the delivery of client care.Demonstrate principles of collaborative practice within the nursing and healthcare teams fostering mutual respect and shared decision-making to achieve stated outcomes of care.For this discussion, we are going to focus on delegation in the workplace. Read the following scenario, review the2019 Regulations Governing the Practice of Nursing document from the Virginia Board of Nursing, Part VI (pages 20-23. see attachedand then submit your answers the three questions below (Be sure to reference your information source in APA format!) You are working the night shift on a medical unit and have been assigned charge nurse responsibilities. You are working with four RNs, one LPN, and two CNAs (nurse’s aides or care partners).  A patient becomes pulseless and is not breathing, and the nurse assigned to the patient’s care calls a code. The nurse is occupied at this patient’s bedside for 1.5 hours until the patient is stabilized and transferred to the intensive care unit. The nurse also has four other assigned patients. In addition to the nurse assigned to the patient requiring resuscitation, two of the other RNs working on your unit are assisting in the code.(1) During the time of the resuscitation efforts, what tasks could be delegated to the UAP (NCP) in order to help with the care of the patients that are assigned to the three RNs that are involved in the resuscitation?(2) How will you, as the charge nurse, maintain the safety of the other patients on your unit while the three RNs are occupied with the resuscitation efforts?(3) How might effective delegation to other team members contribute to care for the patients on the unit?Your response should be scholarly, between 150 and 200 words for each question, and include at least one peer-reviewed nursing journal article to support your comments. (Your in-text citations and reference should in in correct APA format.) Be sure to use correct grammar and sentence structure.

Describe the characteristics of the aging process. Explain how some of the characteristics may lead to elder abuse (memory issues, vulnerability, etc.). Discuss the types of consideration a nurse must be mindful of while performing a health assessment on a geriatric patient as compared to a middle-aged adult.
