  • clinical case

    Answer the questions below based on the following case study.

    A 26-year-old woman presented to the clinic after her cleaning rituals had so exhausted her that she had given up and could now enter only two of the five rooms in her home. For more than a year she has worried that if her house is not sufficiently clean, her 3-year-old son will become ill and could die. Having touched a surface she has to disinfect it repeatedly a procedure performed in a particular way and taking several hours. In addition, she repetitively washes her hands and sterilizes all the crockery and cutlery before eating. She realizes that she is going over the top, but she cannot stop thinking that items may have germs on them. This leads to disabling anxiety and fear for her sons health, which she can only resolve by cleaning. This helps temporarily, but soon the thoughts return again.

    1. Summarize the clinical case.
    2. What is the DSM 5-TR diagnosis based on the information provided in the case? Include any labs you would want ordered to rule out medical cause.
    3. Which pharmacological treatment would you prescribe including the name, dose, route and frequency of the drug in accordance with the clinical guidelines? Include the rationale for this treatment.
    4. Which non-pharmacological treatment would you prescribe according to the clinical guidelines? Include the rationale for this treatment excluding a psychotherapeutic modality.
    5. Include an assessment of the treatments appropriateness, cost, effectiveness, safety, and potential for patient adherence to the chosen medication. Use a local pharmacy to research the cost of the medication and provide the most cost-effective choice for the patient. Use great detail when answering questions 3-5.

    Be sure to follow the rubric.

  • Compassion fatigue/vicarious trauma in nursing

    Create a concept map using your wicked question. Compassion fatigue/vicarious trauma in nursing The main node should be your wicked problem with child nodes including identification of audience, title, executive summary, the rationale for action of the problem, proposed policy options, policy recommendations, sources consulted or recommended, link to original research/analysis, and contact details of teammates. By Sunday of Week 7 Use the concept map to develop each element of your policy brief. You will need to refer to assigned readings as well as external sources of information to develop each element. Identification of Audience and Title: It is important to identify the specific audience for your health policy brief. Your audience should be the people or group that has the power to affect change. Examples of specific audiences could be legislators who sit on committees relevant to your wicked problem or professional organizations that set policies for professions. Your policy brief should be written for your specific audience. With regard to the title, make it memorable and succinct. The executive summary will be written last as it serves as the abstract of your policy brief. The executive summary should include succinct points from each section of your policy brief. If someone did not read beyond the executive summary, would they get the gist of what you are saying? This question should guide how you write the nodes for your executive summary. The rationale for action on the problem is the “So what?” of your policy brief. The work your teams did in Discussion Board #1 regarding why your problem is wicked should be incorporated here. Proposed policy options will require you to go outside of the course readings and look for what has been done or what could be done to address your wicked problem. Don’t try to eat the whole elephant in one bite; you will likely need to select one element of your wicked problem to address in your policy brief. For example, if your wicked problem is urban food deserts, there are hundreds of options for addressing the problem. Your policy brief needs to be BRIEF, so selecting one segment to address is a good strategy, e.g., transportation issues related to obtaining healthy food in urban food deserts. You should present 35 options that address your selected problem and identify the best one with rationale. Your rationale nodes MUST include details related to cost/funding and social determinants of health of your proposed policy options. Policy recommendations are the action plan for how your proposed policy option (the best of the options you presented) should be implemented. You don’t need a TON of detail. This section is more of a strategic vision of HOW your policy option should be implemented and WHO should implement your policy option rather than an operationalized plan. Sources consulted or recommended are essentially your reference list. Your teams are responsible for searching and identifying sources/references that are trustworthy and current. Research articles, position statements, and publications from professional organizations (ANA, AHA, AWHONN, etc), and information from government resources (CDC, AHRQ, etc.) are acceptable sources/references. Choose references that support your recommendations and plan. Each of your sources MUST be cited in another node element. Link to original research/analysis: This section is a “more information can be found at” resource in your policy brief. For example, if your wicked problem is urban food deserts, you could list organizations that provide support for people who live in food deserts (CDC, USDA, etc.). Contact details: Include each teammate, your credentials, and your twu.edu email addresses.
