Anxiety Disorder

A fourteen old male patient that I’m going to call Kevin, was brought in to the practicum site by his father. The patient was in his first year of high school and very talented in athletics. He is an excellent basketball player and aiming at getting a college scholarship. The father explained that Kevin had always been doing very well in class and sports. He is however concerned that his son always worries uncontrollably about his performance in the field, his scholarship to college, how he is doing in class and even worries about keeping friends. He reports that his son occasionally has migraine headaches, especially when they are preparing for a game competition and tests. His father explains that his son has a big game in a few weeks and he has recently been very restless, irritable and the headaches have been more frequent. Patient reports that he cannot help worrying about his performance in class and the field since they are his ticket to college. He was worried that he might do something that will cost him his scholarship and therefore, everything had to be perfect and as planned. Patient also reported that he had been having sleep problems the past few weeks. 

After carrying out screening and assessments to confirm the diagnoses, patient was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder is a psychological health disorder that is characterized by symptoms of anxiety, worry or fear that recur (Wehry et al., 2015). It is among the most common psychiatric disorders in adolescents and children (Wehry et al., 2015). The approach used to treat his anxiety disorder was cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This is a very productive evidence-based treatment for childhood and adolescence anxiety disorders (Wehry et al., 2015). Being an effective treatment approach, it was chosen as the preferred treatment for the patient. The CBT intervention included his parents for support purposes. This is because they were his support system and the patient was more relaxed and receptive when his parents were present. The decision to include his parents was in order to improve the effectiveness of the CBT. According to a study, the effectiveness of CBT plus the family was compared to CBT only and the interventions that included members of the family were more favorable and effective (Davis et al., 2014).

A number of components were included in the CBT intervention. First, the parents and the adolescent were provided with psychoeducation concerning the nature of patient’s anxiety, which was a generalized anxiety disorder. Second, it was noted that the patient had occasional headaches as somatic reactions when anxious. In order to manage the somatic reactions, patient was taken through relaxation training, which is effective in relieving these reactions. The third component of CBT used was cognitive restructuring. This would help patient identify and be able to challenge any thoughts that provoke anxiety. By provoking these negative thoughts, he would be successful in inhibiting anxiety. 

The expected outcome of the treatment was a decrease in instances where he would be anxious and worried over something. This expected treatment outcome can however be affected negatively if he does not get the support he expects from his parents. The parents were encouraged to continue supporting their son, because he trusts them and their support would help tremendously in his response to treatment. Therefore, family support should be consistent throughout the treatment period and post treatment, in order to help with complete recovery for the patient..

TASK

Post your initial response to one of the two topics below.

Topic 1:  Causes of Death

Using the CDC website, conduct a search to compare the causes of death among two ethnicities of the same age or two different ages of the same ethnicity.

Topic 2:  Responsibilities of a Nurse

Discuss the following with regard to the role and responsibilities of a nurse in a community:

• How are the roles of the BSN and the advanced practice nurse in community health different?
• How are nurse practitioners utilized in your community?
• Do they increase access to health care or work for physicians?
• What are the requirements for nurse practitioners in your state?
• What privileges do they have that general nurses do not have?
• Justify your responses using resources

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, specific care discipline, and local communities.

Note: This is an individual assignment. In 1,500-2,000 words, describe the teaching experience and discuss your observations. The written portion of this assignment should include:

1. Summary of teaching plan
2. Epidemiological rationale for topic
3. Evaluation of teaching experience
4. Community response to teaching
5. Areas of strengths and areas of improvement

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance. 

When selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for a client, you must consider the unique needs and characteristics of that particular client. The same is true when selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for groups. Not every approach is appropriate for every group, and the group’s unique needs and characteristics must be considered. For this Assignment, you examine psychotherapeutic approaches to group therapy for addiction. 

In a 3-page paper, address the following:

• Identify the psychotherapeutic approach that the group facilitator is using and explain why she might be using this approach.
• Determine whether or not you would use the same psychotherapeutic approach if you were the counselor facilitating this group and justify your decision.
• Identify an alternative approach to group therapy for addiction and explain why it is an appropriate option.
• Support your position with evidence-based literature.

PLs use this references with any additional one of ur choice

WEEK 7: PICOT FORMULATION

As a practice scholar, the interdisciplinary team you are leading develops the below two practice questions in PICOT format to drive practice change.

Practice Question 1: Does motivational interviewing during a regularly scheduled well-child visit for children between 5-19 years with a BMI of 30 and above as compared to practice as usual, influence BMI, BP, quality of life, and daily physical activity over 8-10 weeks?

• Identify the PICOT elements.
• What are key search terms identified in the practice question?

Conduct a library search using these search terms to locate a research study addressing this practice problem and consider the following.

• What is the research-evidence based intervention addressed in the study?
• What is the quantifiable outcome(s)? How will the outcome(s) be measured? What potential reliable and valid measurements/tools may be used to measure this quantifiable data?
• Is this practice question answerable within 8-10 weeks? Why or why not?

Practice Question 2: In the adult critical care population, does a research-based skin care integrity bundle, compared to standard care, influence the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries over an 8-10 week time period?

• Identify the PICOT elements.
• What are key search terms identified in the practice question?

Conduct a library search using these search terms to locate a research study addressing this practice problem and consider the following.
