The reading entitled “The Treatment Plan” focuses on developing treatment plans, particularly for those in substance abuse rehabilitation programs. First, the interdisciplinary team, which consists of a variety of professionals such as doctors, nurses, and therapists, writes a summary of the client at intake to determine the problems, how they came about, and the potential solutions. Next, a problem list is created. The problem statement is one sentence explaining the problem, which is abstract and not tangible. Therefore, signs and symptoms are also listed underneath, such as history of DUI and the blood alcohol level. These are used as evidence to back-up the problem statement. After, for each problem statement, several goals are listed that

Medical malpractice, the negligence of a health professional in diagnosing, treating, and or caring for a patient, is a specific tort law under the negligence torts. In the medical field, the tort reform has affected many people including doctors, lawyers, insurance company owners and workers, patients, and including other citizens. While large corporations, doctors, and other defendants are benefitting from caps on damages, that is limiting the amount of money that can be granted in court, plaintiffs, lawyers, and citizens are affected differently. Doctor Sage stated in an interview that he has, “never felt that caps on damages had a major effect on patients one way or the other” (“Could Malpractice”). This remark makes those injured question about

When considering the legalities of this scenario, negligence, vicarious liability, and physician- patient relationship are a few components that affect the outcome of a lawsuit. The amount of legal torts that were violated in this case was enough to cause disputes between patients and healthcare staff. Negligence is a familiar tort that occurs much more than it needs too. Unfortunately in this case, vicarious liability and patient-physician relationship are two considerations that influence this case as well.

In regards to patients that are resistant to the first dose of IVIG, in the video Dr. Bookstaver agreed to giving the patient a second dose, but this might not be an appropriate option for some patients due to cost restraints.

NANDA: A pattern of regulating and integrating into daily living a program for treatment of illness and the sequelae of illness that is unsatisfactory for meeting specific health goals.

Billy is a six year old first grader who hates school and is having trouble making friends. He is also misbehaving in class. His parents brought him to a psychological clinic because of all his inappropriate behavior at school. (Butcher, Hooley & Mineka, 2013). Because not enough information has been collected on Billy’s conduct to make a full diagnosis, I would diagnose Billy with 312.9 (F91.9) Disruptive Behavior Disorders (NOS) (APA, 2013).

The data collected from the patients included patients’ characteristics at the starting point, medical diseases, duration of hospital stay, anti-biotic history before diagnosis, severity of CDAD, treatment with PPIs, laboratory parameters, response to CDAD treatment, and the recurrence of CDAD within 90 days of effective treatment. Various clinical and laboratory factors were compared in patients in which CDAD recurred or did not recur. The majority of the patients were given oral metronidazole for 10-14 days, while vancomycin was given for those that did not have a response to the metronidazole and had a more severe case of CDAD. The patients were then classified into two groups based on the reoccurrence of CDAD after the 90 day treatment

The collection, assessment, and planning stages of patient care were all done correctly. However, mistakes were made in the implement and follow up stages of patient care. During the implement process, the technician mixed the wrong dosage of saline solution for the patient and the pharmacist did not correctly check the work of the technician. Dr. Finnamore was the lead pharmacist for the day, thus giving her the responsibility of checking the technicians work. During the follow up stage, the pharmacist should have correctly monitored the patient and been more in touch with the other healthcare providers working the case.

We have no revisions, I have had the School fill out and has mailed me the hard copy.

First of all, I would rule out the cause of positive Babinski reflex and depending upon the cause I would make my recommendations for medical intervention because sildenafil are contraindicated in neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis but effective in patient with spinal cord injury (Leoni et al., 2013). I would start with sildenafil because it is one of the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) which is the first line therapy for the treatment of ED, taking medication only when needed can increase adherence and it can be safely and effectively given to patient who are already taking hypertensive medication. If treatment fails, I will switch to Vardenafil because of rapid onset of action, similar efficacy as sildenafil and can take only

The techniques that I utilized with Janet after having done a spiritual assessment (where and what her relationship is with God) and doing a spiritual history (an informal conversation about spiritual views); the first technique I used was prayer, at the beginning of each session, this allowed for Janet to know that she can be at ease, that this is a safe environment for her to have open communication and that she is being heard by the three people present in the counseling (God, herself and myself). When in the sessions I choose to use open questions (meaning questions that Janet needs to think about and can expand on her thoughts and emotions), rather than closed question that require “yes or no answers”. I also suggested to Janet that she can pray on her own allowing her to have private conversations with God outside of session. Journaling or art would allow Janet additional ways to express her emotions and would allow her later reflection. Janet can also use relaxation techniques in challenging times such a taking deep breaths, during times of panic she can focus on one thing and bring herself slowly

Development of individualized treatment strategies requires detailed information about the pelvis and pelvic floor. MRI is a valuable modality for acquiring this information because it has multiplanar imaging capability , superb tissue visualization, and does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation (Thomas M Boemers et al., 2006).

No, as indicated above, I consider the work-related component of the injury has resolved. Ongoing treatment should be addressed to the management of the major depressive disorder and somatic symptom disorder.

Understanding that solution-focused therapists operate under the assumption that clients already have the necessary skills to solve their problems, it is our job as therapists to help them regain insight into their problems. Therefore, it is understandable why solution-focused therapy is considered a brief therapeutic approach. If the clients already have the ability to solve their own issues then they just need to be reminded of their strengths and resources, shifting the focus.
