Assignment: Assessing, Diagnosing, and Treating Adults With Mood Disorders

Photo Credit: Monkey Business / Adobe Stock

It is important for the PMHNP to have a comprehensive understanding of mood disorders in order to assess and accurately formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan for patients presenting with these disorders. Mood disorders may be diagnosed when a patient’s emotional state meets the diagnostic criteria for severity, functional impact, and length of time. Those with a mood disorder may find that their emotions interfere with work, relationships, or other parts of their lives that impact daily functioning. Mood disorders may also lead to substance abuse or suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and although they are not likely to go away on their own, they can be managed with an effective treatment plan and understanding of how to manage symptoms.

In this Assignment you will assess, diagnose, and devise a treatment plan for a patient in a case study who is presenting with a mood disorder.

To Prepare
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the insights they provide about assessing, diagnosing, and treating mood disorders.
  • Review the Focused SOAP Note template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. There is also a Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided as a guide for Assignment expectations.
  • Review the video, Case Study: Petunia Park. You will use this case as the basis of this Assignment. In this video, a Walden faculty member is assessing a mock patient. The patient will be represented onscreen as an avatar.
  • Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
  • Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
The Assignment

Develop a Focused SOAP Note, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

  • Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomatology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life? 
  • Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?  
  • Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
  • Plan: What is your plan for psychotherapy? What is your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also incorporate one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy.
  • Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session again? Discuss what your next intervention would be if you were able to follow up with this patient. Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion, and disease prevention that takes into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

Introduction

The growing diversity in the United States has played a major role in movement to cultural competency in healthcare.  As of 2016, there were nearly 44 million immigrants living in the US which is four times what it was in 1965. Our ever changing ethnic population brings many challenges for healthcare workers to provide care in this multicultural, multiethnic, and economically diverse population.

Global health is focused on human health issues that transcend borders. In an attempt to improve health and achieve equality in health care worldwide an emphasis on transnational health issues involve research and practice as well as interdisciplinary collaboration to attain solutions.  Increasingly we are living in a globalized world where health problems can ravage groups and create worldwide political instability. Due to this, the UN conducted a summit to discuss the growing global concern of chronic diseases or Non-communicable diseases. Please refer to the following link to review the summary report of this discussion:

UN High Level Meeting on NCDs. Retrieved from:
http://www.who.int/nmh/events/moscow_ncds_2011/round_tables_summary.pdf

 

The Role of the Advanced Practice Nurse

The National League for Nursing has identified the role of nursing in global diversity as a critical priority and the advanced practice nurse will be providing care to a very diverse global population of patients. Bridging this cultural gap is a major challenge of the APN.  Dayer-Berenson (2014) suggests that in order to achieve this we should follow the mnemonic of ASKED which is awareness, skill, knowledge, encounters, and desire.

We need to perform a self-assessment to become aware of personal biases and prejudices toward other culture groups. Cultural skill is the ability to conduct a cultural assessment to collect relevant cultural data concerning the client’s presenting problem as well as conducting a culturally sensitive physical examination. As advanced practice nurses we must obtain a sound educational base about culturally diverse groups. By engaging in cultural interactions or encounters with clients from culturally diverse backgrounds help modify existing beliefs and prevents stereotyping.  And finally the cultural desire is the motivation to want to engage in the process of becoming culturally aware, culturally knowledgeable, and culturally skillful and to seek cultural encounters.

APNs are in key positions to improve healthcare for patients from various cultures by overcoming barriers and reducing disparities. By practicing evidence based care to treat diseases as well as providing much needed research of ethnic and racial minorities the APN has the ability to increase the quality of healthcare delivery for this population.

Case Study Analysis – 2025

Scenario 2: A 42-year-old man comes to clinic with chief complaint of pain, redness, and swelling of his right calf. He states that he had been working in his yard using a string trimmer when the trimmer slipped and cut his leg. He cleaned the wound with water from the garden hose and covered the wound with a large Band-Aid. Several days later, he developed fever to 100.6˚ F and chills and noticed that his leg was swollen and red. He comes to the emergency department for definitive care.

The patient presented to the clinic with symptoms of pain, redness, fever of 100.6 F, chills, and swelling of his right calf. 

  

  • Explain why you think the patient presented the      symptoms described.
  • Identify the genes that may be associated with the      development of the disease.
  • Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect      it has on body systems.

I would say this is probably because of an infection.

Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation

Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.

For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient. 

To Prepare
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide. Also review the Kaltura Media Uploader resource in the left-hand navigation of the classroom for help creating your self-recorded Kaltura video.
  • Select a patient of any age (either a child or an adult) that you examined during the last 3 weeks.
  • Create a Focused SOAP Note on this patient using the template provided in the Learning Resources. There is also a completed Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided to serve as a guide to assignment expectations.
    Please Note:
    • All SOAP notes must be signed, and each page must be initialed by your Preceptor. Note: Electronic signatures are not accepted.
    • When you submit your note, you should include the complete focused SOAP note as a Word document and PDF/images of each page that is initialed and signed by your Preceptor.
    • You must submit your SOAP note using SafeAssign. Note: If both files are not received by the due date, faculty will deduct points per the Walden Grading Policy.
  • Then, based on your SOAP note of this patient, develop a video case study presentation. Take time to practice your presentation before you record.
  • Include at least five scholarly resources to support your assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
  • Ensure that you have the appropriate lighting and equipment to record the presentation.
The Assignment

Record yourself presenting the complex case study for your clinical patient. In your presentation:

  • Dress professionally with a lab coat and present yourself in a professional manner.
  • Display your photo ID at the start of the video when you introduce yourself.
  • Ensure that you do not include any information that violates the principles of HIPAA (i.e., don’t use the patient’s name or any other identifying information).
  • Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
  • Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
  • Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes. Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
    • Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
    • Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment? 
    • Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses and why you chose them. List them from highest priority to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis and why? Describe how your primary diagnosis aligns with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and supported by the patient’s symptoms.
    • Plan: What was your plan for psychotherapy? What was your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters, as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also be sure to include at least one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy.
    • Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this patient if you could conduct the session again? If you are able to follow up with your patient, explain whether these interventions were successful and why or why not. If you were not able to conduct a follow up, discuss what your next intervention would be.

Application and Interpretation of Public Health Data – 2025

Benchmark – Analyzing and Reporting Data 

Overview

In public health, data are  often gathered from separate groups in order to describe health-related  behavior for a topic of interest. In practice, a larger sample is often  surveyed, and then focus groups or interviews can be conducted with a  smaller subset of the sample. The quantitative survey data from a larger  group helps to identify health-related trends and patterns within the  sample group. The qualitative data collected with the smaller group  complements the quantitative survey data and helps to determine why and  how a phenomenon exists. The cumulative findings can then help public  health professionals form a conclusion about the health issue and inform  future public health research, policy, and practice. 

The purpose  of this assignment is to analyze qualitative and quantitative data from  two separate groups, propose a research question, and then disseminate  your findings in a mixed-methods manuscript. The survey and focus group  are both on the topic of nutrition. The quantitative data is adapted  from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), and the  qualitative data is from a focus group transcript in which 9th grade  girls discussed healthy eating.

For this assignment, you will use:

  1. IBM  SPSS Statistics and the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System  Dataset” to conduct a basic quantitative statistical analysis.
  2. The “9th Grade Girls Healthy Food Focus Group Transcription” to conduct a qualitative analysis and identify key themes.

Part 1: Analyzing Data

Using  the resources indicated above, conduct the following analyses and  record the results on the “Results and Outputs” template. Attach this  document as an Appendix in your paper.

Qualitative Analysis: Read  the “9th Grade Girls Healthy Food Focus Group Transcription.” This  transcript is from a focus group of 9th grade girls discussing healthy  eating with the moderator. Generate codes and summarize the qualitative  data.

Quantitative Analysis: 

  1. Review  the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Dataset.” Identify two or  three variables of interest and identify a study topic for your paper.  Conduct a literature search for three to five peer-reviewed articles  from the last 5 years that have studies supporting your topic. Develop a  research question for your study based on the selected variables. The  research question should demonstrate support for the focus group results  and should be supported by existing literature.
  2. Prepare the data to complete the analysis based on your research question.
  3. Using SPSS, conduct descriptive statistics to summarize the sample.
  4. Using SPSS, select an appropriate quantitative inferential statistical test to analyze the data.

Part 2: Reporting Data

Prepare  a 1,250-1,500 word manuscript to disseminate the findings of your  proposed study. The study should be based on your proposed research  question and supported by the findings from the qualitative and  quantitative analyses above, as well as by current literature. Include  the following:

Abstract

Discussion: Women’s and Men’s Health, Infectious Disease, and Hematologic Disorders

 

As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely experience patient encounters with complex comorbidities. For example, consider a female patient who is pregnant who also presents with hypertension, diabetes, and has a recent tuberculosis infection. How might the underlying pathophysiology of these conditions affect the pharmacotherapeutics you might recommend to help address your patient’s health needs? What education strategies might you recommend for ensuring positive patient health outcomes?

For this Discussion, you will be assigned a patient case study and will consider how to address the patient’s current drug therapy plans. You will then suggest recommendations on how to revise these drug therapy plans to ensure effective, safe, and quality patient care for positive patient health outcomes.

To Prepare
  • Review the Resources for this module and reflect on the different health needs and body systems presented.
  • Your Instructor will assign you a complex case study to focus on for this Discussion.
  • Consider how you will practice critical decision making for prescribing appropriate drugs and treatment to address the complex patient health needs in the patient case study you selected.
By Day 3 of Week 9

Post a brief description of your patient’s health needs from the patient case study you assigned. Be specific. Then, explain the type of treatment regimen you would recommend for treating your patient, including the choice or pharmacotherapeutics you would recommend and explain why. Be sure to justify your response. Explain a patient education strategy you might recommend for assisting your patient with the management of their health needs. Be specific and provide examples.
