make a brief explanation of three important components of the psychiatric interview and why you consider these elements important. Explain the psychometric properties of the rating scale you were assigned. Explain when it is appropriate to use this rating scale with clients during the psychiatric interview and how the scale is helpful to a nurse practitioner’s psychiatric assessment. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
 

 Do you think reading a book digitally is the same reading an actual book? 

CASE STUDY : M.T. is a nurse practitioner in a busy OBGYN clinic. Her clients include women from various socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. M.T. spends her time educating women about interventions for a healthy pregnancy.

She promotes the physical, mental, and spiritual health of her clients throughout the childbearing years. Although she primarily works with the pregnant woman, her ultimate goal is to assist each family to have a healthy pregnancy and birth outcome and lay the foundation for satisfactory parenting and family life.

—QUESTION: M.T. participates in community health fairs educating childbearing-age women about healthy lifestyles that can improve chances for a healthy pregnancy. Women should be made aware that certain preconception interventions may improve not only the outcomes of pregnancy but their overall health as well. Design a plan that fits the needs for the health fair that M.T. is participating. List the recommendations and the rationales.

—-Then, continue to discuss the 2 topics listed below for your case:

1. Describe the relationship between culture and growth and development. Assess whether all growth and development milestones should be applied to all children regardless of cultural background.
2. Design a teaching plan for parents regarding injury prevention during infancy. In your teaching plan you must include the home of an infant injury proof.

*Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.

 Discussion question

A 33-year-old Hispanic male is admitted and complains of a tingling sensation in his left leg, vertigo, and loss of balance. When you begin to perform intake history, you notice that his speech is slurred, his teeth are in need of repair, and he seems to be very drowsy.

• What other findings may you find in this individual?
• What would you think is the underlying cause of this patient’s complaint?
• How would you proceed with your assessment specifically for this patient?

Review various definitions of “case management” as provided by your textbook and other internet sources. Differentiate between case management, disease management, and population health management. Describe how case management services affects the health and well-being of the patient and their future encounters with the health care system.

should be 250 to 350 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook. 

As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.

Much like honeyguide birds and honey badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.

In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on your thinking regarding the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.
• Select a healthcare program within your practice and consider the design and implementation of this program.
• Reflect on advocacy efforts and the role of the nurse in relation to healthcare program design and implementation.

The Assignment: (2–4 pages)

In a 2- to 4-page paper, create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions:

• Tell us about a healthcare program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?
• Who is your target population?
• What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?
• What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?
• What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples?
• Who are the members of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?

For each Barrier to Patient Centered Care listed below, identify facilitators that could be introduced to balance/offset the barrier. Provide rationale for your response based on resources (articles, practice guidelines, etic) as appropriate:

Barriers:

1. Competing care obligations (patient–load) interfere with prioritizing discussions of discharge planning with patient/planning.
2. Discharge communication ranged from simple one-sided instruction to shared decision making.
3. Patients did not feel prepared for discharge and post-discharge care was not individualized.
4. Discharge process/decisions affected by pressure for available beds.
