Taking the Patient’s History: Final Paper; Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest Erica Hurst 12/15/2014 PSY 303 Abnormal Psychology Dr. Jella Taking the Patient’s History: Final Paper; Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest As a doctor is attempting to help a patient that has a disorder, it is necessarily to find out why and how the disorder might have developed. As the doctor, you will need to gather all the information from the patient background to find out how to diagnosis the patient as well as the treatment that is needed to help control the symptoms for the patient disorder. There is the need to become acquainted with the patient in a way that they will open up to you and expose their personal history with you as well so that you can provide them with the best help that is available. As I complete my patient analysis on my patient Joan Crawford, I will make my diagnosis from her character and since it was never stated Joan had any medical or psychiatric diagnoses that she suffered from mental illness, the information provided is speculatively based on her adoptive daughter Christina Crawford memoir of her mother, Joan Crawford. I. Identifying Information The patient name is Joan Crawford.
Axia College Material Appendix B Research Methods List the advantages and disadvantages of the following research methods: |Research Method |Advantages |Disadvantages | |Case Study | | | |Correlational Method | | | |Experimental Method | | | Case Study: Advantages: Provides a detailed description of a person's life and psychological problems. It describes a person's background, symptoms, and present circumstances (Axia College, 2003). Many case studies have very organized notes detailing the ailments of a patient and what has been used to cure or try to cure the problems, allowing other physicians to learn about the patient. Case studies can be a source of new ideas about behavior and “open the way for discoveries” (Bolgar, 1965). Case studies allow for observations of unusual problems and allow for new techniques for therapy to be created.
Employers, who have to predict which applicants are most likely to be effective workers, collect information from résumés, interviews, references, and perhaps on-the-job observations. Clinical assessment is used to determine how and why a person is behaving abnormally and how that person may be helped. It also enables clinicians to evaluate people’s progress after they have been in treatment for a while and decide whether the treatment should be changed.

In this paper, we will review the incidence of DM in the United States (U.S.), the potential effects of the disease on the body as a chronic process, and the psychosocial challenges patients like Angelo must endure. We will also establish teaching requirements for Angelo with two learning objectives from each domain of Bloom’s taxonomy. Incidence, Typical Presenting Signs, and Potential Effects of Diabetes Diabetes mellitus affects 25.8 million people in the U.S. of which 7 million are undiagnosed; when analyzing these numbers, 215,000 are under the age of 20, 14.7 million are between 20 and 65, and 10.9 million are over the age of 65 (“Diabetes Statistics,” 2013). Angelo was diagnosed with type 1 DM, which is most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults (“Diabetic Basics,” 2013). The pathogenesis of type 1 DM is believed to involve both genetics and environmental exposure.
With the problem at hand implementation of stress management interventions of both nurses and students have been suggested (Galbraith,& Brown, 2011). A quantitative systematic review with narrative synthesis was conducted using key terms included “ ‘nurses OR nursing OR nurse’, ‘student OR students’, ‘intervention’, ‘stress OR burnout’”(Gallbraith & Brown, 2011 pg. 710). The search yielded 186 studies that were examined for inclusion criteria. Only 17 meet the criteria, and one more was excluded due to a quality appraisal.
This assignment will describe my client’s lived experience pertaining to stigma due to a life threatening disease. The purpose of this paper is to explore my client’s phenomena to understand why individuals get stigmatized by society. In writing this paper I will follow LEARN framework (College of Nurses of Ontario, 1996), which will assist me in critical reflection of the chosen concept of stigma. I will synthesize the definition of stigma from three articles, elaborate on attributes, antecedents and consequences of stigma; discuss risk factors that may prevent successful adaptation of my client and finally identify nursing interventions. My client is a 55- year old male; I will call him Mr. A., to protect his confidentiality.
Annotated Bibliography on Pain Assessment Tools for Patients With Limited Communication Health Assessment Tammy F. Surrency Dr. Constance Morrison March 12, 2013 Introduction Pain assessment tools for patients with limited communication is the topic of this annotated bibliography. This is a topic of interest to me because for nurses, it is very important to perform a pain assessment on patients who have limitations in their ability to communicate as a result of cognitive impairment, learning disabilities, or language impairment. To identify, assess, and treat patients with complaints of pain are vital because the experience of pain may affect the perception and expression of other symptoms resulting in inappropriate treatments and management. In order to properly treat the symptoms of pain, a good pain assessment tools are used. The use of the pain assessment tool will assist in developing the plan of care for the patients.
Another specialty area is the control of transmissible diseases, in which epidemiology provides a comprehensive understanding of the magnitude, causes, and consequences. “Age influences people's susceptibility to disease or dysfunction (Adler, 1993).” This quotes relates to my current environment because in my current work environment, we see people from a variety of age ranges. I plan on using epidemiology by helping collecting more data/ information and being able to educate the patients through past experiences. “Theory specifies that environmental effects, such as parenting or peer and neighborhood influences, on health outcomes are perplexed with genetic effects because family generation share the same genes, and there is increasing evidence that genes play a role in the selection of one's social environments (Bergner, 1993).” The choices that we make in our lifestyles affect our health but we cannot let that determine our health outcome. The principles that I learn during course are very valuable.
Euthanasia & Socioeconomic Status Final Research Project 05/26/2013 The Effects of Socioeconomic Status on Terminally Ill Patients, Their Families and HealthCare Professionals’ Attitudes towards Euthanasia I. Introduction My topic of interest that I started researching at the beginning of this semester was terminally ill patients, their families and healthcare professionals’ attitudes towards euthanasia and the different things that may affect terminally ill patients, their families and healthcare professionals’ attitudes towards euthanasia. I decided that if I were to undertake my own research study I would focus on The Effects of Socioeconomic Status on Terminally Ill Patients, Their Families and HealthCare Professionals’
