Some debate in the literature exists specific to whether or not bipolar disorder can be diagnosed in childhood. While some have anecdotally argued that it is not possible for children to develop bipolar disorder (as normal features of childhood confound the diagnosis), other sources argue that pediatric bipolar disorder is a fact.

In this Discussion, you engage in a debate as to whether pediatric bipolar disorder is possible to diagnose.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Evaluate diagnosis of pediatric bipolar depression disorder
• Analyze consequences to diagnosing/failing to diagnose pediatric bipolar depression disorder

To Prepare for the Discussion:

• The instructor will assign you a position for or against the issue of diagnosing pediatric bipolar depression disorder.
• Review the Learning Resources concerning the controversy over the diagnosis of pediatric bipolar depression disorder.

Post:

• Write “for” in the subject line of your Discussion post.

• Based on the position you were assigned (FOR), justify whether or not pediatric bipolar depression disorder should be diagnosed.

Support your position with evidence and examples.

Note: In APA Format and proper citation, Support your rationale with a minimum of three academic resources/references no more than five years old. Include introduction and conclusion. 

Based on the requested outline, you should first ALWAYS provide some type of introduction based on the presenting issue using research.  Ex: According to the American Psychiatric Association (2015), depression has increased by……

Introduction….tell briefly about depression

History of Present Illness/Clinical Impression…..you should always have a mental status exam of the client you are seeing…..at every visit!!!!!!

Psychopharmacologic treatment….What does the research say about treating a client with depression.  Ex:  Harris 2018, stated the Serotonin Intake inhibitors are the first line treatment for depression due to the targeted neurotransmitters.   Although SSRI’s are considered first line treatment for depression, Mr. J was started on Wellbutrin 150mg instead because the preceptor felt that the Wellbutrin would assist Mr J with smoking cessation as well. Harris (2015) stated that Wellbutrin helps to decrease smoking by 50% due to….

Psychotherapy….Research states that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the best therapeutic approach with treating patients with Major Depression (Smith, 2019).  Cognitive Behav Therapy was discussed with Mr. j and the client is willing to participate in this therapy.

Medical Management…Mr J does not have any medical needs that need to be addressed at this time.  However, it is recommended that the client get baseline labs to ensure that there are no medical needs that may be the cause of the depression (Harris, 2016)

Students you should BOLD the headings!!!! The instructor should be able to immediately identify the pertinent information.

Now the RUBRIC…the guide to for a grade!!!  The rubric is graded as EXCELLENT, GOOD, FAIR, AND POOR.  You choose where you want to be

1.  Analytical thinking…..comes from research,  This should be covered with the introduction
2. Purpose Statement….The purpose of this assignment is to discuss a client with depression, treatment options, and appropriate interventions to properly care for Mr. J (This is simple) Can be included at the end of the introduction.
3. Key concepts….did you address what the assignment ask you to do
4. Are you using the required resources to back up the data
5. Is the paper flowing
6. Grammar…..GRADUATE STUDENTS…ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WANTING TO OBTAIN A DOCTORATE try to avoid USING HE, SHE, THEY, US, I.  You can use the client, the daughter of the patient stated, the team, as a provider; etc.  The pronouns take away from the professional/scholarly writing within the paper….In my opinion.  See the examples above. However, it’s not against APA standards at this time…it’s now a preference for the avoidance of the pronoun use. 

Submit a 10 page paper identifying the problem as a nursing leadership issue. Is it a local, regional, or national issue. What has the literature told you. State the purpose of your paper. Establish the importance of this topic and any appropriate functional information. Identify opportunities for improvement in healthcare organization, the effective use of interdisciplinary teams, change in management strategies, and implementation of evidence based practices. Submit article critiques used to write the paper.

This is important information that will ensure that you earn maximum points. Your postings should be qualitative and provide substantive depth that advances the discussion. Please see the Writing Center for assistance with writing, APA, and online communication.

You must post your initial response to the discussion topic before reviewing your classmate’s responses.

Topic: Pediatric Musculoskeletal and Integumentary

Unit 2 Discussion – Misleading Graphs 

Can inaccurate graphs bias the interpretation of data? Graphs provide a visual representation of data meant to provide information. Here are three graphs that may present data inaccurately or misleadingly.  Choose one graph for this discussion and answer the questions based on your chosen graph.

Graph 1 was used to display changes in the Unemployment Rate for over 12 months.

 Graph 2 was used to display pizza topping preferences based on a survey of people living in the United Kingdom.

Graph 3 was used to display the number of complaints reported for six different airlines per the US Department of Transportation in February 2013. 

Instructions

For this discussion, you are to choose one graph and complete these steps based on the graph you chose:

Steps

• State the graph you chose.
• Discuss how you interpreted the graph when you first saw it.
  • What did it tell you about the data represented?
  • Did you find it confusing?
• Now, study the graph. Use your understanding of the topics Graphs, Pie Charts, and Bar Charts to interpret what is being presented.
• Compare your first impression with your second, more informed interpretation and answer the following:
  • Is the information presented in a biased way (that is, is it misleading?)
  • What information is being misinterpreted here? How?
  • What type of graph was used, and was it used correctly?
  • How could you correct the graph so that it more accurately represents the data?
• Discuss why someone might intentionally use a graph to mislead?

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Assignment: Applying Current Literature to Clinical Practice

Psychiatric mental health nursing practice is one of the newest disciplines to be licensed to provide psychotherapy As such, the majority of psychotherapy research is centered on other disciplines such as psychology, social work, marriage/family therapy, art therapy, psychiatry, and mental health counseling. This makes it essential for you to be able to translate current literature from other disciplines into your own clinical practice. For this Assignment, you practice this skill by examining literature on group work and group therapy and considering its applicability to your own clients.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Evaluate the application of current literature to clinical practice

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on group work and group therapy.
• Select one of the articles from the Learning Resources to evaluate for this Assignment.

Note: In nursing practice, it is not uncommon to review current literature and share findings with your colleagues. Approach this Assignment as though you were presenting the information to your colleagues.

The Assignment

In a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation, address the following:

• Provide an overview of the article you selected, including answers to the following questions:
  • What type of group was discussed?
  • Who were the participants in the group? Why were they selected?
  • What was the setting of the group?
  • How often did the group meet?
  • What was the duration of the group therapy?
  • What curative factors might be important for this group and why?
  • What “exclusion criteria” did the authors mention?
• Explain the findings/outcomes of the study in the article. Include whether this will translate into practice with your own client groups. If so, how? If not, why?
• Explain whether the limitations of the study might impact your ability to use the findings/outcomes presented in the article.

Note: The presentation should be 5–10 slides, not including the title and reference slides. Include presenter notes (no more than a half page per slide) and use tables and/or diagrams where appropriate. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from the article you selected. Support your presentation with evidence-based literature.
