Assignment: Assessing and Treating Clients With Anxiety Disorders
Common symptoms of anxiety disorders include chest pains, shortness of breath, and other physical symptoms that may be mistaken for a heart attack or other physical ailment. These manifestations often prompt clients to seek care from their primary care providers or emergency departments. Once it is determined that there is no organic basis for these symptoms, clients are typically referred to a psychiatric mental health practitioner for anxiolytic therapy. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with anxiety disorders.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Assess client factors and history to develop personalized plans of anxiolytic therapy for clients
Analyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in clients requiring anxiolytic therapy
Evaluate efficacy of treatment plans
Analyze ethical and legal implications related to prescribing anxiolytic therapy to clients across the lifespan
