Legal, Clinical, Risk Management and Ethical Issues in Mental HealthJohn Gavazzi
The program outlines the fundamental differences between clinical issues, legal questions, risk management strategies, and ethical issues. While overlap exists, ethical questions arise when there are two competing ethical principles at odds. The course will reference both the ACA and the NBCC Code of Ethics. Clinical issues deal with treatment-oriented concerns. Legal issues concern state, federal, and case law, as well as statutes and regulations. Risk management typically focuses on reducing liability. Several case examples will be given to demonstrate how these issues overlap and are important to high quality of care.

Specific learning disorder in DSM-V-TR pptxtashaadam04
Learning difficulties (LDs) are often linked to other conditions, and it's essential to consider these conditions while assessing impairment and planning interventions. The identification of these associated difficulties varies based on the child's age and the severity and extent of their learning problems. Although an LD may be detected when a child starts school, it could have been preceded by a language delay that increases the risk of future LDs.
LDs are also linked in complex ways with other issues, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behavior disorders such as conduct disorder. Children with severe difficulties may experience repeated school failure, which can lead to anxiety and depression in middle childhood and adolescence. They may also be at higher risk of bullying, being bullied, or both. While learning difficulties often persist into adulthood, many individuals develop compensatory strategies and thrive as adults.

Assumption 1: Counselors will not be able to sustain culturally responsive treatment without the organization's commitment to it.
Assumption 2: An understanding of race, ethnicity, and culture (including one's own) is necessary to appreciate the diversity of human dynamics and to treat all clients effectively
Assumption 3: Incorporating cultural competence into treatment improves therapeutic decision-making and offers alternate ways to define and plan a treatment program that is firmly directed toward progress and recovery
Assumption 4: Consideration of culture is important at all levels of operation—individual, programmatic, and organizational
Assumption 5: Culturally congruent interventions cannot be successfully applied when generated outside a community or without community participation.
Assumption 6: Public advocacy of culturally responsive practices can increase trust among the community, agency, and staff.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a directive, client-centered counseling and/or communication style for eliciting behavior change by helping individuals to explore and resolve ambivalence, while minimizing resistance and maximizing intrinsic motivation. Compared with nondirective counseling, MI is more focused and goal-directed. Based on the physics of behavior change, participants will learn assessment and communication skills that foster sustained behavior change by tapping into intrinsic motivation. Aside from a didactic approach, there will be video examples and skill practice. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

Sexual Harassment Essay Outline
I. Introduction
A. Background
1. Despite ongoing public campaigns designed to prevent sexual harassment,
this destructive behavior continues to be a widespread issue in the United
States. Sexual harassment is particularly rampant on college campuses,
where 62% of female students and 61% of male students report having
been victims of this form of mistreatment, according to the AAUW
Educational Foundation. Most of the harassment is noncontact, but about
one-third of students are victims of physical harassment.
B. Thesis Statement
1. Although mass media and news outlets alike tend to shy away from the
sexual harassment problem occuring across our campuses nationwide,
universities are failing to protect their students from sexual harassment
resulting in mental health damage of both males and females in all parts of
the nation
II. Body
A. Sexual Harassment Amongst Both Genders
1. Female Sexual Harassment In Comparison
a) Statistics Regarding Harassment Committed Against
b) General Concerns Over Safety Amongst Females
2. Male Sexual Harassment In Comparison
a) Statistics Regarding Harassment Committed Against
b) Lack of Awareness That Men Can Also Experience Harassment
On College Campuses
B. Sexual Harassment Being Neglected Nationwide
1. Lack of Media Coverage & Lack of Awareness
a) Disregard Of A Widespread Issue Going On In Our Nation
b) People Not Taking Sexual Harassment Seriously/Not Being Aware
of It
2. Lack of Knowledge Regarding Universities Legal Duty to Protect
Students
a) Title XI Law of 1972
b) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
C. Sexual Harassment’s Effect on Students Experiencing It
1. Short Term Mental Effects
a) People Disregarding and Neglecting People Who Claim Sexual
Harassment Can Cause Them Insecurity and Hopelessness
b) People Tend To Blame Themselves For Being Harrassed
2. Long Term Mental Effects
a) Depression and Inability To Trust Others
b) Can Lead To Drastic Effects Like Turning To Drugs Or
Committing Suicide, It is Afterall A Form Of Bullying
III. Conclusion
A. The failure of our nations awarness and our universities inability to abide to the
law by protecting our students has resulted in many students being permanently
damaged from sexual harassment
B. We the people of the United States have gone through all the proper legal
measures in order to guarantee the youths safety when attending college
universities; yet these laws along with their $60,000 tuitions do not seem to be
enough motivation for these universities to abide to the law. Does a student need
to be found dead in the middle of the campus in order to get the message across?

Assignment 2 Assessing and Treating Patients With SleepWake Disord.docxsalmonpybus
Assignment 2: Assessing and Treating Patients With Sleep/Wake Disorders
Sleep disorders are conditions that result in changes in an individual’s pattern of sleep (Mayo Clinic, 2020). Not surprisingly, a sleep disorder can affect an individual’s overall health, safety, and quality of life. Psychiatric nurse practitioners can treat sleep disorders with psychopharmacologic treatments, however, many of these drugs can have negative effects on other aspects of a patient’s health and well-being. Additionally, while psychopharmacologic treatments may be able to address issues with sleep, they can also exert potential challenges with waking patterns. Thus, it is important for the psychiatric nurse practitioner to carefully evaluate the best psychopharmacologic treatments for patients that present with sleep/wake disorders.
Reference: Mayo Clinic. (2020).

Construct(s) assessed: Criteria-based diagnosis of depression in individuals seen in primary care and other medical and mental health facilities
Method of administration: Nine symptom checklist that can be professionally or self-administered (paper and pencil, electronically, or over the phone).
Summary of reliability evidence:
· Internal reliability was excellent, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89 in a Primary Care Study and 0.86 in an OB-Gyn Study (Kroenke, Spitzer, & Williams, 2001).
· Test-retest reliability was very high at a 0.96 in a longitudinal study (Draper et al., 2008).
Summary of validity evidence:
In a study done by Kroenke et al. (2001), both criterion and construct validity were established as well as external validity. Construct validity was demonstrated in a sample of 580 primary care patients who underwent an independent re-interview. Criterion validity was shown by the strong association between PHQ-9 scores and functional status disability days and symptoms related difficulty. External validity was achieved by replicating the findings from 3,000 primary care patients in a second sample of 3,000 Ob-gyn patients.

Therapy for Pediatric Clients With Mood Disorders
Mood disorders can impact every facet of a child’s life, making the most basic activities difficult for clients and their families. This was the case for 13-year-old Kara, who was struggling at home and at school. For more than 8 years, Kara suffered from temper tantrums, impulsiveness, inappropriate behavior, difficulty in judgment, and sleep issues. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner working with pediatric clients, you must be able to assess whether these symptoms are caused by psychological, social, or underlying growth and development issues. You must then be able recommend appropriate therapies.
This week, as you examine antidepressant therapies, you explore the assessment and treatment of pediatric clients with mood disorders. You also consider ethical and legal implications of these therapies.
Photo Credit: GettyLicense_185239711.jpg
Assignment: Assessing and Treating Pediatric Clients With Mood Disorders
When pediatric clients present with mood disorders, the process of assessing, diagnosing, and treating them can be quite complex. Children not only present with different signs and symptoms than adult clients with the same disorders, but they also metabolize medications much differently. As a result, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners must exercise caution when prescribing psychotropic medications to these clients. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat pediatric clients presenting with mood disorders.
Note: This Assignment is the first of 10 assignments that are based on interactive client case studies. For these assignments, you will be required to make decisions about how to assess and treat clients. Each of your decisions will have a consequence. Some consequences will be insignificant, and others may be life altering. You are not expected to make the “right” decision every time; in fact, some scenarios may not have a “right” decision. You are, however, expected to learn from each decision you make and demonstrate the ability to weigh risks versus benefits to prescribe appropriate treatments for clients.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Assess client factors and history to develop personalized plans of antidepressant therapy for pediatric clients
Analyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in pediatric clients requiring antidepressant therapy
Evaluate efficacy of treatment plans
Analyze ethical and legal implications related to prescribing antidepressant therapy to pediatric clients

Accessible summary
• The purpose of this pilot study was to describe the experiences, support needs,
resources, and barriers to support for fathers whose partners had experienced
post-partum depression (PPD).
• Telephone interviews were conducted with a total of 11 fathers. We interviewed
seven fathers from New Brunswick and four fathers from Alberta.
• The fathers we spoke with experienced a number of depressive symptoms including:
anxiety, lack of time and energy, irritability, feeling sad or down, changes in
appetite, and thoughts of harm to self or baby. The most common barriers to
accessing support included not knowing where to look for PPD resources and
difficulty reaching out to others.
• This study demonstrated the feasibility of a larger-scale exploration of fathers’
experiences in supporting their spouses affected by PPD.
Abstract
The purpose of this pilot study was to describe the experiences, support needs,
resources, and barriers to support for fathers whose partners had post-partum depres-
sion (PPD) in preparation for a larger study. Qualitative methods and community-
based research approaches were used in this exploratory/descriptive multi-site study,
conducted in New Brunswick and Alberta. Telephone interviews were conducted with
a total of 11 fathers in New Brunswick (n = 7) and Alberta (n = 4). Fathers experienced
a number of depressive symptoms including: anxiety, lack of time and energy, irrita-
bility, feeling sad or down, changes in appetite, and thoughts of harm to self or baby.
The most common barriers for fathers were lack of information regarding PPD
resources and difficulty seeking support. This pilot study establishes the fea.

Discussion: Building a Health History
· Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients’ health risks.
· For this Discussion, you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for a particular new patient assigned by your Instructor.

Week 4: Therapy for Patients With Major
Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Mood disorders can impact every facet of a human being’s life, making the most basic activities
difficult for patients and their families. This was the case for 13-year-old Jeanette, who was
struggling at home and at school. For more than 8 years, Jeanette suffered from temper
tantrums, impulsiveness, inappropriate behavior, difficulty in judgment, and sleep issues.
As a PNP working with pediatric patients, you must be able to assess whether these symptoms
are caused by psychological, social, or underlying growth and development issues. You must
then be able recommend appropriate therapies.
This week, as you examine antidepressant therapies, you explore the assessment and treatment of
three populations: pediatrics, adults, and geriatrics. The focus of your assessment tool, a decision
tree, will specifically center on one of the most vulnerable populations, pediatrics. Please
remember, you must also consider the ethical and legal implications of these therapies. You will
also complete a Quiz on the concepts addressed throughout this module.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
• Assess patient factors and history to develop personalized plans of antidepressant therapy
across the lifespan
• Analyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in
pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients requiring antidepressant therapy
• Synthesize knowledge of providing care to pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients
presenting for antidepressant therapy
• Analyze ethical and legal implications related to prescribing antidepressant therapy to
patients across the lifespan
Assignment: Assessing and Treating Pediatric
Patients With Mood Disorders
When pediatric patients present with mood disorders, the process of assessing, diagnosing, and
treating them can be quite complex. Children not only present with different signs and symptoms
than adult patients with the same disorders, they also metabolize medications much differently.
Yet, there may be times when the same psychopharmacologic treatments may be used in both
pediatric and adult cases with major depressive disorders. As a result, psychiatric nurse
practitioners must exercise caution when prescribing psychotropic medications to these patients.
For this Assignment, as you examine the patient case study in this week’s Learning Resources,
consider how you might assess and treat pediatric patients presenting with mood disorders.
To prepare for this Assignment:
• Review this week’s Learning Resources, including the Medication Resources indicated
for this week.
• Reflect on the psychopharmacologic treatments you might recommend for the assessment
and treatment of pediatric patients requiring antidepressant therapy.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
