Week 5 Programmatic Assessment

University of Phoenix MaterialWeek Five Programmatic
AssessmentScenario
Abby is a 20-year-old female college student. For at least the
last 3 months, Abby has experienced ongoing anxiety and worry
without a specific cause for these feelings. She has been restless
and has noticed that her muscles feel tense and that these
symptoms are beginning to affect her behavior in a way that is
causing her to become distressed and that is preventing her from
being able to complete her normal tasks. Abby correctly
believed that it was normal to feel a little anxious sometimes;
however, as the semester has progressed, she has not begun to
feel significantly more comfortable.

3. On the recommendation of a friend, Abby visited the
university’s counseling center and talked to Dr. Smith. Dr.
Smith was warm and welcoming and, after discussing the limits
of confidentiality with Abby and obtaining informed consent,
encouraged Abby to describe her concerns. Dr. Smith listened
attentively and asked Abby a few questions. They both agreed
on an appointment date and time for the next week. Dr. Smith
gave Abby a homework assignment to keep a written log of the
negative thoughts or assumptions she has during the week and
the circumstances under which those thoughts occurred. Abby
was asked to bring the log with her to her next
appointment.Short-Answer Questions
Answer the following questions based on the scenario above.
Answers should be short and concise.
1. Which DSM-5 disorder matches the symptoms Abby is
reporting?
2. Which theoretical model does the homework assigned by Dr.
Smith match?
3. If Dr. Smith recommended medications only, which
theoretical model would this match?
4. If Dr. Smith recommended medications in addition to
therapy, which theoretical model would this match?
5. If Dr. Smith completed a free association exercise with Abby,
which theoretical model would this match?
6. If Dr. Smith used unconditional positive regard in the
treatment, which theoretical model would this match?
7. If instead of the symptoms listed in the scenario, Abby
reported the following:
She had been in a car accident where she feared for her life. She
had sleep disturbances including nightmares and became

4. uncomfortable at the thought of driving, to the point that she
avoided driving. She now believes she is a horrible driver,
although her friends assure her this is not true. If these
symptoms have lasted for longer than a month, which DSM-5
disorder label might match her symptoms?
8. If instead of the symptoms listed in the scenario, Abby
reported the following:
Every day for the past 2 weeks she felt down or sad for most of
the day, had noticed an increase in her appetite, had been unable
to sleep or concentrate, and felt tired. Additionally, this was
interfering with her goals and tasks, and she reported that she
had never felt manic or hypomanic. Which DSM-5 disorder
label might match her symptoms?
9. If instead of the symptoms listed in the scenario, Abby
reported the following:
Every day for at least the past week she felt irritable with
persistently increased energy and talkativeness, was easily
distracted, did not seem to need sleep, and noticed that this
behavior was interfering with her job. She reported that she has
felt these symptoms before in her past and that she has also felt
depressed sometimes. Which DSM-5 disorder label might match
her symptoms?
10. If instead of the symptoms listed in the scenario, Abby
reported the following:
Throughout her life, she has always been suspicious of others.
She reports that she really would like to have good
relationships, but even as a child she knew that others,
including family members, could not be trusted. She feels that
she needs to stay on guard to protect herself. Which DSM-5
disorder label might match her symptoms?

5. 11. If instead of the symptoms listed in the scenario, Abby
reported the following:
She began drinking when she was 18 and now needs to drink
more or higher concentrations of alcohol to continue to
function. She reports that she has lost her part-time job because
of her drinking and is in danger of failing out of college. She
was hospitalized last weekend due to experiencing delirium
tremens during withdrawal, and the doctor explained to her that
she could die from this disorder. Abby recognized that her
drinking was interfering with her life, and she knew that she did
not want to die. Which DSM-5 disorder label might match her
symptoms?
12. If instead of the symptoms listed in the scenario, Abby’s
former roommate reported the following:
During a significant portion of the past month, Abby had talked
to herself out loud and told her roommate that she had heard
voices telling her to harm herself. Her roommate reported that
Abby had told her that she occasionally stated that she was Joan
of Arc and that the school mascot was stalking her. Her
roommate asked to change rooms, and now that Abby was living
alone, she did not appear to have bathed in more than a week.
This was not typical behavior for Abby, as she had been known
to be meticulous with her appearance and hygiene. The
roommate expressed her concern for Abby and stated that
although she had noticed some of these behaviors since she first
met Abby more than 6 months ago, the behaviors seem to have
increased over the past month. Which DSM-5 disorder label
might match her symptoms?
13. If Abby were 5 years old and, instead of the symptoms
listed in the scenario, her symptoms included nightmares,
physical complaints, recurrent separation-related fear, and a

Unit 5 Discussion: Too Big to Fail?
1 1 unread reply. 1 1 reply.
Is any company too big to fall? In the last 5 years we have seen
businesses that had been established for over 50 years suddenly
hit financial crises, and banks were at the top of the list.
According to the FDIC, more than 300 banks have failed since
2009.
The US Government stepped in and created a program called
TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) to purchase assets and
equity from the failing financial sector to stabilize our
economy.
Using research and your own opinions that you derive from your
understanding of the concepts in this course and in this unit,
research a public company that has filed bankruptcy (or
reorganization), merged or been acquired by another company
in the last five years.
Respond to the following questions:
1.Give the name of the company and write a short description of
its business.
2.What was the stock price in the years preceding its failure,
merger or acquisition? What was the stock price after, if it still

8. existed? (You may find this information on Yahoo Finance.com)
3.Summarize what led to this company"’s downfall: What are
the differences between this company and another company
(that is thriving) in the same industry?
4.If the company still exists in some aspect, what is the current
condition of it? Do you believe that it would be a good
investment? You may use the required rate of return as
determined by the CAPM to support your position.
