  • Title: Assessing and Treating PTSD: A Video Case Study Analysis

    It is estimated that more almost 7% of the U.S. population will experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime (National Institute of Mental Health, 2017). This debilitating disorder often interferes with an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Common symptoms of anxiousness and depression frequently lead to behavioral issues, adolescent substance abuse issues, and even physical ailments. For this Assignment, you examine a PTSD video case study and consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with PTSD.
    To prepare:
    Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide about diagnosing and treating PTSD.
    View the media Presentation Example: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and assess the client in the case study. For guidance on assessing the client, refer to Chapter 3 of the Wheeler text.
    Note: To complete this Assignment, you must assess the client, but you are not required to submit a formal comprehensive client assessment.
    Succinctly, in 1–2 pages, address the following:
    Briefly explain the neurobiological basis for PTSD illness.
    Discuss the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for PTSD and relate these criteria to the symptomology presented in the case study. Does the video case presentation provide sufficient information to derive a PTSD diagnosis? Justify your reasoning. Do you agree with the other diagnoses in the case presentation? Why or why not?
    Discuss one other psychotherapy treatment option for the client in this case study. Explain whether your treatment option is considered a “gold standard treatment” from a clinical practice guideline perspective, and why using gold standard, evidence-based treatments from clinical practice guidelines is important for psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners.
    Support your Assignment with specific examples from this week’s media and at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources. Explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly. Attach the PDFs of your sources.

  • “Management of GERD and Other Gastric Pathologies: A Case Study”

    In today’s case study we have a 46 year old with mid chest pain worse with eating. The key to this case study is the “worse with eating” component. Our patient has been eating more lately with work, and states the pain is worse when laying down. This points towards acid reflux which is often worse while laying down. The acid will follow gravity and moving upwards and causing pain. There does not appear to be any signs pointing to cardiac nature here. No shortness of breathe or cardiovascular risk factors. Of course we would need to ask the appropriate question to rule out any cardiac pathology. The questions we could ask to rule out angina would be to ask about shortness of breathe, diaphoresis, pain with exertion, and cardiac history.
    Peer Responses:
    Length: A minimum of 170 words per post, not including references
    Citations: At least two high-level scholarly reference in APA per post from within the last 5 years
    If cardiac pathology is ruled out than this becomes an abdominal focused assessment. Our patients mid chest pain is in the middle upper gastric area and is likely caused by the increased eating and lack of GI motility. Our top differential diagnosis would be GERD. The treatment for GERD would be lifestyle, diet, and a proton pump inhibitor (Maret-Ouda et. al., 2020). Hopefully with smaller meals, and not eating before bed our patient can get improvement. I would also recommend smaller bland meals. I would recommend a short term drug therapy of protonix 20mg po daily and re-evaluate the patient in the next 4-6 weeks.
    Some of the other pathologies on the differential would include esophagitis and gastritis. It an be difficulty to definitively diagnosis gastritis without an upper GI scope. Endoscopy techniques are improving and the types of lights used can aid in accurate diagnosis (Rugge, et. al., 2021). With an upper scope gastritis can be diagnosed when reddening or edema of the gastric mucosa is found (Rugge, 2021). Gastric atrophy and the presence of H. Pylori can be precursors of cancer (Rugge, 2021). Therefore GI scope and biopsy in complicated cases of prolonged nausea, vomiting and abdominal cases can be warranted. Maret-Ouda, J., Markar, S. R., & Lagergren, J. (2020). Gastroesophageal reflux disease: a review. Jama, 324(24), 2536-2547.
