DSM-IV Evaluation PSY/270 December 1, 2010 Tana Leigh Warren Case Study 1: Josephine is suffering from schizoid personality disorder. She displays symptoms with this disorder such as persistent avoidance of social relationships and little expression of emotion. The cause may have been due to an unaccepting relationship with her parents as a child or perhaps abuse from them. To treat Josephine a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach would be best. This form of treatment helps those with this disorder to experience more positive feelings and more satisfying social interactions.
The Amniotic Sac also develops, which is a fluid-filled membrane that supports the developing fetus. During the First Trimester, the child will develop limb buds, which are the beginning of the arms and legs, along with developing; fingers, toes, ears, ankles, wrists, and eyelids. The child’s heart will begin to beat around the 25th day after conception. The child also begins to develop all of its major organism, and its neural tube, which connects the brain to the spinal cord. Usually home pregnancy tests are accurate after the first day of a woman's missed period.
This could be an extremely useful exercise for Koren. A lot of her anxiety and stress comes from her own person thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs. Rarely is she affected solely by something that another individual says or does. She is very hard on herself and it may provide her a great deal of relief if she could imagine others saying these things. Taking away the self-condemning nature of her thoughts could really change her perspective and feelings.
Anencephalic Infants Britney Moore Abnormal Psychology April 28, 2012 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show the ethical dilemmas that are involved in health care today in regards to organ transplantation especially in anencephalic infants. This topic interests me because it is an abnormal neural tube defect that affects infants in today’s society. While reading about Rett’s Disorder I found there are similarities between the two disorders. For example both Rett’s Disorder and Anencephaly infants have abnormally small heads and they either lose the ability to use motor skills and talk or never are able to do either. Both also affect mostly girls and the child loses the ability to properly function.
If this idea is put into effect, it will take “designer babies” to a whole new level. While some people believe that being deaf or being a dwarf is a disability, those who actually experience that life think of it as a good thing. They want their children to be exactly like them. They ask if it is wrong to let that occur (2). That is one of the main questions that many debate.
Unit 44 Task 3 prouduced by Adaugo Nwanemuogh P3 & P4 In this assignment I will be writing my reflective entries related to my own contributions to work in my placement. I will also present a portfolio of evidence in placement. I did my placement in an early year’s nursery, where I was assigned to work with the babies and sometimes the two year olds. It is such a heart- warming experience working with the babies because it gave me the opportunity to learn the ways they develop, giving it a good and careful observation. I made sure I record every new development which I have observed, using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) it helps me set standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth.
It is important to keep her comfortable, but it is also important to give only enough medication to do so. Morphine could knock out her respiratory drive if she was given too much. It is also wrong to let her suffer in pain, so there is a fine line of pain management. Repositioning the patient and trying other means of pain relief, besides medication, would be beneficial with this geriatric patient. Comforting words and decreasing anxiety could reduce pain and fear.
To have the abortion would avoid harm towards the patient, relieve mental suffering and lead toward the improvement of the patient’s mental health status. For example, if she would go through with the abortion, it would relieve the psychological suffering of the woman because she would know that her child would be from the man who raped her. Every time see would see her child, it would remind her of her traumatic experience and this could harm her mentally. Keeping the baby would not necessarily harm her health in a physical way, but there is a possibility that her mental health would be dramatically altered to a point where she would need to seek professional help to heal after being raped. Even though the goals of medicine are altered to fit mental health, they should still apply the same way to the
There are multiple uses of the 3D images of patients with substance abuse. Many of them are put on posters in education facilities for drug and alcohol prevention. In some cases it can stop the addiction due to the patient’s reaction and anxiety after seeing these images. Therefore, can change their attitude and influence them to want a healthier brain. There is no right way to heal the brain from addiction, but SPECT imaging is a vital tool in helping people to appreciate what is happening with their brain.
