TOPIC:Non–Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Arousal Disorders

The power of sleep to heal the body cannot be underestimated. Most research indicates that 7–8 hours of sleep are a minimum that people need to stay healthy. Clients who come to the PMHNP’s office frequently complain of sleep problems. It is estimated that 10–20% of patients report some type of sleeping problem.

In this Discussion, you will analyze the diagnostic criteria and evidence-based psychotherapy and psychopharmacologic treatment for sleep/wake disorders.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Analyze diagnostic criteria for sleep/wake disorders
• Analyze evidence-based psychotherapy and psychopharmacologic treatment for sleep/wake disorders
• Analyze criteria for referring clients to primary care physicians for treatment of sleep/wake disorders
• Compare differential diagnostic features of sleep/wake disorders

Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the “Post to Discussion Question” link and then select “Create Thread” to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click submit, you cannot delete or edit your own posts, and cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully before clicking Submit!

To prepare for this Discussion:

• By Day 5 of Week 9, your Instructor will have assigned you a sleep/wake disorder, which will be the focus of your original post for this Discussion.
• Review the Learning Resources.

By Day 3

Post:

• Explain the diagnostic criteria for your assigned sleep/wake disorder.
• Explain the evidenced-based psychotherapy and psychopharmacologic treatment for your assigned sleep/wake disorder.
• Describe at what point you would refer the client to their primary care physician for an additional referral to a neurologist, pulmonologist, or physician specializing in sleep disorders and explain why.
• Support your rationale with references to the Learning Resources or other academic resource.

By Day 6

 Recommend a quality or safety initiative that addresses a shortfall in quality and/or safety (FALL PREVENTION) in your current precepted experience environment (or simulation). Include the principles of quality improvement, health care policy, ethical and legal considerations, cost-effectiveness, and means to monitor the initiative over time. 

The paper needs to be between 5-6 pages in length in APA format with a SWOT analysis and implementation timelines and plan as appendices.

Assignment 1: Case Study Assignment: Assessing Neurological Symptoms

Imagine not being able to form new memories. This is the reality patients with anterograde amnesia face. Although this form of amnesia is rare, it can result from severe brain trauma. Anterograde amnesia demonstrates just how impactful brain disorders can be to a patient’s quality of living. Accurately assessing neurological symptoms is a complex process that involves the analysis of many factors.

In this Case Study Assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

To Prepare

• By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
• Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient case.

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
• Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned.
• Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
• Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

The Case Study Assignment

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected each. 

CASE STUDY : Forgetfulness

A 70-year-old female comes to your clinic with complaints of forgetfulness. She noticed it about a year ago and it has progressively gotten worse. She sometimes forgets what she is going to do when she gets to another room. Her family has noticed the problem with her forgetfulness but she is still able to manage her finances and drive, per her report.

In the introduction to the unit, you learned about the elements of a personal essay. Now,

you will write that essay. The experience you write about does not have to be

monumental. It just has to be significant to you. Your essay should be a true story, or

narrative, focusing on a place. Within that story, you will need to determine what

happened at this place, who were the important people there, what was said, and what

you learned.

Instructions:

• Create a personal essay about a specific place that is the most memorable for

you and where you had a positive experience. (Please be aware that if you share

information that is distressing, then your instructor is mandated to share that

information with our counseling center.)

• Consider the following questions when starting your essay:

o What is a specific place that is particularly memorable to you?

o What happened at this place that makes it so important to you?

A personal essay is a combination of the description of the action or plot, details about

the people/location of the essay, and reflection on what happened:

• Begin by describing the place. Try using each of the five senses to show the

reader what the place is like.

• Consider the best conversations you had at the place and include that dialogue

in your message.

• Finally, be sure to offer your thoughts on the experience and what you learned

from it.

Requirements:

• Please submit a Microsoft Word document or PDF.

ENG110 – College Writing

Unit 1 Assignment: Personal Essay

• The assignment should be two to three pages in length and should include the

following:

o An APA-style title page (see Unit 1 documents for a sample)

o 1–2 pages for the full essay content

o Double-space the assignment and use 1-inch margins.

o You should use an APA-recommended font; 12 Times New Roman font is

suggested (see Unit 1 documents under the Title page for a list of other

acceptable fonts).

• You need an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion for this essay.

o The introduction should set up what specifically the reader needs to know

before you get into the main action of the essay. You can also include a

thesis, or a controlling idea statement, that lets the reader know your

purpose for writing the essay.

o Your body paragraphs should focus on one specific part of the experience

each. Please do not try to include too much information in each

paragraph.

o Finally, the conclusion will wrap up the essay and show how the action in

the essay was resolved.

• Your writing should be free of punctuation, spelling, and grammar errors and

should contain appropriate word choice for an academic setting with a clear

sentence structure.

• Utilize the senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) to help you tell the story.
