Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED 

/in /by

Week 7 P

The DSM-5 task force added a section dedicated to trauma and stress. With an increased exposure to traumatic events, more individuals are exhibiting symptoms related to trauma exposure. Experiencing any of these events can result in an individual’s suffering from a trauma or stressor-related disorder.

For this Discussion, read the DSM-5 section on trauma and stressor-related disorders, in particular the articles on PTSD by Van der Kolk (2005) and Agaibi and Wilson (2005). Then search the literature for a study related to a national traumatic event and an evidence-based intervention used to treat those suffering from trauma and stressor-related issues associated with it.

Post a brief description of the event, including a summary of how it affected the individuals involved. What are some psychosocial issues that needed to be addressed following this event? Identify an intervention that was implemented to address one of the psychosocial issues. Discuss the effectiveness of this intervention as stated in the article. What are some of the implications for social work in connection with traumatic events?

Traumatic and Stressor-Related Disorders

The following diagnoses are classified in terms of psychological symptoms and behaviors that emerge in response to an external event or stressor, which is a critical diagnostic condition (APA, 2013).

1.Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)

  1. Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED

3.Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

4.Acute Stress Disorder (ASD)

5.Adjustment Disorders (ADs)

6.Other Specified Trauma-and Stressor Related Disorder

7.Unspecified Trauma- and Stressor Related Disorder

These disorders often share overlapping symptoms with anxiety, obsessive compulsive, and dissociative disorders.  American Psychiatric Association (2013).

Assignment 504 class unit 9

This assignment is not based on your PICOT or a policy at your workplace. It should be based on an actual practice guideline; we discussed these at the last seminar. It needs to be a practice guideline that is based on research evidence in order to address the elements in the directions. If you have any questions about the suitability of what you have in mind, visit  guidelines.gov  and see other practice guidelines.

Most nurses are aware of their institution’s policy and procedure for providing patient care but not aware of the practice guideline they are based on. You might be better off going to  guidelines.gov  and finding an actual practice guideline that could be used in your area of practice. That is the only way to address the key elements of this assignment

How does change impact motivation of employees?

/in /by

As health care manager, your facility will soon be implementing an electronic health record (EHR). Some employees feel that they are not technologically gifted. Some employees feel the computer will soon cause them to be laid off. Employees are discussing this implementation and passing rumors about whether the implementation will actually improve the medical record. Discuss the following in your paper:

How does change impact motivation of employees?

Discuss how you would communicate with these employees and what you will tell them about the EHR implementation.

Discuss how employers will explain about the training that will be offered to all employees and how employee job skills will change with the implementation.

Assignment 1: Gastrointestinal Tract: Disorders of Motility

Assignment 1: Gastrointestinal Tract: Disorders of Motility

Jamie is a 3-month-old female who presents with her mother for evaluation of “throwing up.” Mom reports that Jamie has been throwing up pretty much all the time since she was born. Jamie does not seem to be sick. In fact, she drinks her formula vigorously and often acts hungry. Jamie has normal soft brown bowel movements every day and, overall, seems like a happy and contented baby. She smiles readily and does not cry often. Other than the fact that she often throws up after drinking a bottle, she seems to be a very healthy, happy infant. A more precise history suggests that Jamie does not exactly throw up—she does not heave or act unwell—but rather it just seems that almost every time she drinks a bottle she regurgitates a milky substance. Mom thought that she might be allergic to her formula and switched her to a hypoallergenic formula. It didn’t appear to help at all, and now Mom is very concerned.

Cases like these are not uncommon. The mother was concerned and thinking her daughter may have an allergy; she changed to a different formula. However, sometimes babies have immature GI tracts that can lead to physiology reflux as they adapt to normal life outside the uterus. Parents often do not consider this possibility, prompting them to change formulas rather than seeking medical care. As in the case study above, GI alterations can often be difficult to identify because many cause similar symptoms. This same issue also arises with adults—adults may present with symptoms that have various potential causes. When evaluating patients, it is important for the advanced practice nurse to know the types of questions he or she needs to ask to obtain the appropriate information for diagnosis. For this reason, you must have an understanding of common GI disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and gastritis.

To Prepare

  • Review the gastrointestinal system.
  • Identify the normal pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production.
  • Consider the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and gastritis. Think about how these disorders are similar and different.

To Complete

Write a 3-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Key Points:
  • A).Describe the normal pathophysiologyof gastric acid stimulation and production. Explain the changes that occur to gastric acid stimulation and production with GERD, PUD, and gastritis disorders.
  • B).Explain how the factor youselected might impact the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.

c).Select a patient factor: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on this factor.

  • D).Construct a mind map for gastritis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

PWK8 Assignment 2

Assignment 2: The Pathophysiology of Disorders

During the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological. These four systems work together along with other body systems to complete a myriad of functions. For this reason, when disorders occur within one body system, it can create potentially devastating effects throughout the entire body. For instance, Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, yet its alterations actually affect multiple body systems from the cardiovascular system to the gastrointestinal system. In this Assignment, you examine alterations associated with disorders, as well as the impact of the alterations on multiple body systems.

To Prepare

  • From the list below, select a disorder of interest to you:
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Asthma in children
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Hepatic disease (liver disease)
  • Hypertension
  • Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
  • Seizures
  • Sepsis
  • Identify alterations associated with your selected disorder. Consider the pathophysiology of the alterations. Think about how these alterations produce pathophysiological changes in at least two body systems.
  • Reflect on how patient factors such as genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.
  • Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct a mind map for the disorder you selected. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of your selected disorder.

To Complete

Develop a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

  • Key Points:
  • Describe your selected disorder, as well as associated alterations. Explain the pathophysiology of the alterations, including changes that occur in at least two body systems.
  • Explain how genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behaviormight impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.
  • Construct a mind map for the disorder you selected. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology of alterations, risk factors, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder.
