I don’t know how to handle this Psychology question and need guidance.

Stop/Start Reaction Journal Choose 1) a behavior you want to STOP during this course, or 2) a behavior you want to START during this course. Either way, choose something challenging. This should be a time of personal growth, and the assignment should also enhance your awareness of the issues and challenges involved in changing a behavior. Anything you journal will be kept in STRICTEST confidence. You do not need to disclose any information that makes you uncomfortable. During this class, as you journal, the aim is to see some personal growth and reflection in your journal entries. It is expected that you will write much more than a line or two, so avoid superficial entries. The point of this journal is to track your experience in either stopping an unhealthy behavior, OR starting a healthy behavior. For example, you may choose to stop smoking, or to start exercising. So, gear up for the stop/start experiment, journal your thoughts, responses and experiences. Stretch yourself, grow, and go for the challenge! As you journal your responses, struggles and victories, consider the following: 1) What led to your choice to start/stop a behavior? 2) How might your journey to start/stop have some similarities to a client struggling to attain sobriety? 3) What are some of your struggles? What made it difficult? 4) What are some of your victories? 5) What behaviors/emotions/thoughts accompanied this journey? 6) In your final entry: Discuss the insights gained from writing this journal, as they apply to your role as a future counselor (2 or more citations/references needed for this discussion). This does not require strict APA format, but I am expecting clear writing. No research support is needed for your personal thoughts/observations, but please include 2 or more references when writing about how you might apply journaling with a client. Again, this is a journal, so I am not expecting a research paper. Stop/Start Journal Rubric ? At least 15 Substantive and Reflective Journal Entries—Beyond 2-3 sentences and demonstrated depth and reasonable reflection/disclosure (each worth 4 points totaling 60 points for full credit). ? Discussed thoughts, feelings, awareness from the perspective of a counselor ? Associated struggles and learning with starting/stopping an activity. ? Discussed insights gained from the experience and applied to your future role as a counselor (research support needed for this part).

A behavior to START will be Exercise.

Assessing and Treating Clients With Pain

Pain can greatly influence an individual’s quality of life, as uncontrolled pain negatively impacts mood, concentration, and the overall physical and mental well-being of clients. Although pain can often be controlled with medications, the process of assessing and treating clients can be challenging because pain is such a subjective experience. Only the person experiencing the pain truly knows the intensity of the pain and whether there is a need for medication therapies. Sometimes, beliefs about pain and treatments for pain can have an adverse effect on the provider-client relationship. For this Assignment, as you examine the interactive case study consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with pain.

The Assignment

Examine Case Study: A Caucasian Man With Hip Pain. You will be asked to make three decisions concerning the medication to prescribe to this client. Be sure to consider factors that might impact the client’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.

At each decision point stop to complete the following:

• Decision #1
  • Which decision did you select?
  • Why did you select this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #1 and the results of the decision. Why were they different?
• Decision #2
  • Why did you select this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #2 and the results of the decision. Why were they different?
• Decision #3
  • Why did you select this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #3 and the results of the decision. Why were they different?

Also include how ethical considerations might impact your treatment plan and communication with clients.

Complex Regional Pain Disorder
White Male With Hip Pain

BACKGROUND

This week, a 43-year-old white male presents at the office with a chief complaint of pain. He is assisted in his ambulation with a set of crutches. At the beginning of the clinical interview, the client reports that his family doctor sent him for psychiatric assessment because the doctor felt that the pain was “all in his head.” He further reports that his physician believes he is just making stuff up to get “narcotics to get high.”

SUBJECTIVE

The client reports that his pain began about 7 years ago when he sustained a fall at work. He states that he landed on his right hip. Over the years, he has had numerous diagnostic tests done (x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs). He reports that about 4 years ago, it was discovered that the cartilage surrounding his right hip joint was 75% torn (from the 3 o’clock to 12 o’clock position). He reports that none of the surgeons he saw would operate because they felt him too young for a total hip replacement and believed that the tissue would repair with the passage of time. Since then, he reported development of a strange constellation of symptoms including cooling of the extremity (measured by electromyogram). He also reports that he experiences severe cramping of the extremity. He reports that one of the neurologists diagnosed him with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). However, the neurologist referred him back to his family doctor for treatment of this condition. He reports that his family doctor said “there is no such thing as RSD, it comes from depression” and this was what prompted the referral to psychiatry. He reports that one specialist he saw a few years ago suggested that he use a wheelchair, to which the client states “I said ‘no,’ there is no need for a wheelchair, I can beat this!”

The client reports that he used to be a machinist where he made “pretty good money.” He was engaged to be married, but his fiancé got “sick and tired of putting up with me and my pain, she thought I was just turning into a junkie.”

He reports that he does get “down in the dumps” from time to time when he sees how his life has turned out, but emphatically denies depression. He states “you can’t let yourself get depressed… you can drive yourself crazy if you do. I’m not really sure what’s wrong with me, but I know I can beat it.”

During the client interview, the client states “oh! It’s happening, let me show you!” this prompts him to stand with the assistance of the corner of your desk, he pulls off his shoe and shows you his right leg. His leg is turning purple from the knee down, and his foot is clearly in a visible cramp as the toes are curled inward and his foot looks like it is folding in on itself. “It will last about a minute or two, then it will let up” he reports. Sure enough, after about two minutes, the color begins to return and the cramping in the foot/toes appears to be releasing. The client states “if there is anything you can do to help me with this pain, I would really appreciate it.” He does report that his family doctor has been giving him hydrocodone, but he states that he uses is “sparingly” because he does not like the side effects of feeling “sleepy” and constipation. He also reports that the medication makes him “loopy” and doesn’t really do anything for the pain.

MENTAL STATUS EXAM

The client is alert, oriented to person, place, time, and event. He is dressed appropriately for the weather and time of year. He makes good eye contact. Speech is clear, coherent, goal directed, and spontaneous. His self-reported mood is euthymic. Affect consistent to self-reported mood and content of conversation. He denies visual/auditory hallucinations. No overt delusional or paranoid thought processes appreciated. Judgment, insight, and reality contact are all intact. He denies suicidal/homicidal ideation, and is future oriented.

Diagnosis: Complex regional pain disorder (reflex sympathetic dystrophy)

Decision Point One

Select what the PMHNP should do:

Savella 12.5 mg orally once daily on day 1; followed by 12.5 mg BID on day 2 and 3; followed by 25 mg BID on days 4-7; followed by 50 mg BID thereafter

Amitriptyline 25 mg po QHS and titrate upward weekly by 25 mg to a max dose of 200 mg per day

Neurontin 300 mg po BEDTIME with weekly increases of 300 mg per day to a max of 2400 mg if needed

Assignment 1: Practicum: Decision Tree

Week 5: Anxiety Disorders in Childhood and Adolescence

“I don’t know why everyone is worried that I don’t want to go out with my friends anymore. I just like to stay home. There is nothing wrong with that. I go to school and get good grades, but I don’t know what to say to those other girls in my class. They ask why I can’t go to the mall with them on the weekend and I get all embarrassed. They don’t understand that I don’t know what to say to them. When I do say something, it is always wrong, or they laugh. I can just stay home and read my books.”

Emma, age 15

Anxiety disorders that plague many individuals in adulthood often have their origins in childhood and adolescence. By identifying those children and adolescents with anxiety disorders, the PMHNP can intervene and teach skills that the client can use to control anxiety throughout his or her life.

This week, you analyze case studies to determine the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders.

Case #2

Decision Point One

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Decision Point Two

BASED ON THE ABOVE INFORMATION, SELECT YOUR NEXT ACTION. BE CERTAIN TO DISCUSS THE RATIONALE FOR YOUR DECISION.

Begin Zoloft 50 mg orally daily

Begin Fluvoxamine immediate release 25 mg orally at bedtime

Begin Fluvoxamine controlled release 100 mg orally in the morning

ecision Point Two

Begin Fluvoxamine immediate release 25 mg orally at bedtime

RESULTS OF DECISION POINT TWO

• Client returns to clinic in four weeks
• Upon return to the clinic, Tyrel’s mother reported that he has had some decrease in his symptoms. She states that the frequency of the handwashing has decreased, and Tyrel seems a bit more “relaxed” overall.
• She also reports that Tyrel has not fully embraced returning to school, but that his attendance has improved. She reported that over this past weekend, Tyrel went outside to play with his friend from across the street, which he has not done in a while.

Decision Point Three

BASED ON THE ABOVE INFORMATION, SELECT YOUR NEXT ACTION. BE CERTAIN TO DISCUSS THE RATIONALE FOR YOUR DECISION.

Increase Fluvoxamine to 50 mg orally at bedtime

Augment with an atypical antipsychotic such as Abilify

Augment treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy

Decision Point Three

Augment with an atypical antipsychotic such as Abilify

Guidance to Student

In terms of an actual diagnosis, the child’s main symptoms are most consistent with obsessive-compulsive disorder. There may also be an element of social phobia developing, but at this point, the PMHNP has not assessed the nature of the school avoidance—that is, why is the child avoiding school. Notice that nothing in the scenario tells us that the PMHNP has assessed this.

Fluvoxamine immediate release is FDA-approved for the treatment of OCD in children aged 8 years and older. Fluvoxamine’s sigma-1 antagonist properties may cause sedation and as such, it should be dosed in the evening/bedtime.

At this point, it would be appropriate to consider increasing the bedtime dose, especially since the child is responding to the medication and there are no negative side effects.

Atypical antipsychotics are typically not used in the treatment of OCD. There is also nothing to tell us that an atypical antipsychotic would be necessary (e.g., no psychotic symptoms). Additionally, the child seems to be responding to the medication, so there is no rationale as to why an atypical antipsychotic would be added to the current regimen.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is the psychotherapy of choice for treating OCD. The PMHNP should augment medication therapy with CBT. If further assessment determines that Tyrel has social anxiety disorder, CBT is effective in treating this condition as well.

I don’t understand this Biology question and need help to study.

Part 1: Post a Response

There are many practical applications of biological knowledge that we mostly accept and take for granted. Many (though not all) modern techniques in medicine, agriculture and sanitation are examples of widely accepted practices. However, our knowledge about biology has enabled us to do things that raise ethical and social issues. Cloning is one example of such a technology, but there are many others. Choose one such example, then:

• Describe the technology.
• Describe the ethical and social issues that are raised by the issue, and how you think that society should proceed.

I’m studying for my Psychology class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Acts of terrorism are intended to have an impact far beyond the death and destruction of the immediate attack. Mass fear and interruptions to normal daily functioning occur in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, like concentric surges that erupt when dropping a boulder in a mill pond. When terrorism and violence are systemically directed toward “ethnic cleansing” or intentional destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, tribal, or religious group, it is considered genocide. Terrorism and genocide can also disrupt the social and economic functioning of neighboring countries that must contend with refugees. National and international bodies that choose to counteract terrorism and genocide with economic sanctions, military actions, or humanitarian interventions can also face repercussions. Bronfenbrenner’s Ecosystemic Model for Crisis (James, 2013, p. 657) illustrates the following: that which impacts the international macrosystem (e.g., world culture, United Nations, international media) affects the mesosystems (e.g., neighborhoods, churches, police) and microsystems (e.g., individuals, families), as well.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Think about how various acts of terrorism and genocide might affect behavioral patterns, traditions, and beliefs of impacted populations.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post an explanation of the global (macrosystem) impact of terrorism or genocide. Be sure to provide at least one specific example of terrorism or genocide that supports your explanation.

Body Fat or Fat as a Fuel and Athletic Performance

This week we are discussing body composition, notably losing, maintaining, or gaining. Many athletes will do all of these during the course of their athletic career. What effect does this have on their athletic performance? Let’s explore the scientific literature to find out.

Go to PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) and enter “fat fuel athletic performance” or “body fat athletic performance” either is fine. Pick one article from either of these topics and present it in your initial forum post. Do NOT pick the same article someone else picked. There are many articles available so you will not have a difficult time finding a unique article.

For your initial post, be sure to:

• list your selected article
• provide the reference for your chosen article
• describe the study and the results
• state what the study concluded
• evaluate the article. Do you think the study made appropriate conclusions from its data? Was the study designed correctly to address the hypothesis?
