Health Assessment

/in /by

Answer the following question in 250-350 words. thank you.

Quite often a new client is asked to fill out what seems like cursory “intake forms” such as a Health Assessment.  We have an initial consultation where we review their history, goals and challenges.  Then, some version of a fitness assessment is done.  All of this information is used to create exercise programming. That is designed to safely get these clients moving toward their goals.

Keeping these items in mind-

  • All of the collected information is not always used appropriately.
  • Many clients (even young athletes) have CVD or other chronic disease risk factors.
  • Some have diagnosed CVD or other chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity and more…
  • Many have “old” sports injuries that  were never properly rehabilitated, or other orthopedic concerns/challenges/weaknesses

-Now think back to last week’s discussion, and please discuss why it seems that most of the exercise programming for new clients involves one of these Hot Fitness Trends, and several reasons for the lack of program adherence.

Then, suggest a better approach that could improve the likelihood of adherence, the attainment of clients’ goals, and achievement better long-term health.

There are hundreds of opioid conversion calculators available online, though they are not all of good quality.  I would like to direct you to one of the opioid conversion calculators that I find to be most useful and evidence based.  Locate http://opioidcalculator.practicalpainmanagement.com/ and evaluate the following case using the calculator as necessary. Discuss your approach to the overall case and results of your calculation.

  • A 79 year old white male is taking hydrocodone/APAP 10/325 for lower back pain (pt diagnosed with degenerative disc disease several months ago). The physician had written a prescription for Vicodin® 10/325  i-ii Q4-6h prn pain with a quantity of 120.  Her expectation was that this would last the patient for one month.  The patient is now requesting refills about every 10-14 days.  He states he has been taking 2 tabs Q4h (12 tablets per day) because “the pain is so bad I just can’t stand it!”.
    • What is the problem with the way the patient is taking this medication versus the way it was prescribed
    • Based on your assessment, it is determined this patient should be converted to extended release morphine for better, more consistent pain control. Perform this conversion and provide an appropriate recommendation (drug, dose, frequency).

neurological disease

Migraine is a major neurological disease that affects more than 36 million men, women and children in the United States. There is no cure for migraine. Most current treatments aim to reduce headache frequency and stop individual headaches when they occur. Let’s look at a case example:

  • CM is 20 years old female with severe, prolonged 2 to 3 day migraines twice per month. She has difficulty sleeping and is mildly anxious. She occasionally utilizes an inhaler for asthma.
    • Provide an evaluation of CM’s condition including non-pharmacological interventions and treatment options
    • Is Cm a candidate for prophylactic therapy, and if so, what option would be best suited to her?

Post your initial response and respond to one student. Both responses should be a minimum of 150 words, scholarly written, APA formatted, and referenced.  A minimum of 2 references are required

Psychotic Disorders

/in /by

Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders; Medication-Induced Movement Disorders

Psychotic disorders and schizophrenia are some of the most complicated and challenging diagnoses in the DSM. The symptoms of psychotic disorders may appear quite vivid in some patients; with others, symptoms may be barely observable. Additionally, symptoms may overlap among disorders. For example, specific symptoms, such as neurocognitive impairments, social problems, and illusions may exist in patients with schizophrenia but are also contributing symptoms for other psychotic disorders.

For individuals with disorders such as schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, the development of mental disorder seldom occurs with a singular, defining symptom. Rather, many who experience such disorders show a range of unique symptoms. This range of symptoms may impede an individual’s ability to function in daily life. As a result, clinicians address a patient’s ability or inability to function in life.

medication-induced movement disorder.

For this Assignment, you will analyze a case study related to schizophrenia, another psychotic disorder, or a medication-induced movement disorder.

· Review the Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about assessing and diagnosing psychotic disorders. Consider whether experiences of psychosis-related symptoms are always indicative of a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Think about alternative diagnoses for psychosis-related symptoms.

· Download the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. Also review the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Exemplar to see an example of a completed evaluation document.

· video case study to use for this Assignment and “Case History Reports” document, keeping the requirements of the evaluation template in mind.

· Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient? interview questions you would need to ask this patient.

· Identify at least three possible differential diagnoses for the patient.

This assignment explores psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia. You also explore medication-induced movement disorders and formulate a diagnosis for a patient in a case study.

Objectives

 

· Apply concepts, theories, and principles related to patient interviewing, diagnostic reasoning, and recording patient information

· Formulate differential diagnoses using DSM-5 criteria for patients with schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders, and medication-induced movement disorders across the life span
