Patient Case Medication

Please select two of the below medication classes. Your primary post should outline arguments both for and against the medication class in the two patient cases below. The primary post is due by Wednesday (end of day).

 

Patient Case Medication

 

Pro Con

Amphetamine Amphetamine

Methylphenidate Methylphenidate

Alpha Adrenergic Agonist Alpha Adrenergic Agonist

Non-Stimulant Non-Stimulant

 

  • What is the proposed mechanism of action of the medication(s)? Why might this be appropriate for the patients?
  • What are the advantages or disadvantages to your class of medication (options for different administration, length of duration, etc.)?
  • What are the advantages or disadvantages to the other medication options?
  • What possible side effects or considerations need to be evaluated?
  • Provide one example for each consideration—legal, ethical, and social implications—for prescribing the medication category.

 

Patient 1: Patient Case Medication

Malcolm is a 9-year-old male in the 4th grade at the public elementary school. Malcolm has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, combined presentation. Malcolm struggles with being fidgety and hyperactive; he often gets into trouble at school for blurting out answers, getting out of his desk when he should not be, and hitting other children when

upset. Malcolm also has a hard time focusing on anything other than video games at home. His parents report homework takes “all night” though it should only take 30 minutes. Malcolm has assigned chores but often gets distracted. For example, Malcolm was to take out the trash but got distracted in the driveway while taking out the trash and left the full bag in the driveway. He often misplaces the combination code for the lock on the house door.

Patient 2:

Jessica is a 32-year-old female that was recently diagnosed with ADHD. She was referred to your office by the psychologist that completed the ADHD assessment. Jessica has always struggled in school and jobs. She is often “written up” at her job for not completing tasks that are assigned to her. She becomes easily distracted by her other co-workers. She finds herself spending a lot of time conversing with colleagues. Her colleagues are frequently annoyed with her for constantly talking to them and interrupting their work and tasks. Jessica is here to discuss medication options to treat ADHD.

 

Patient Case Scenario Debate

 

In Week 5, you were assigned by Faculty to argue either the pro (for) or con (against) for a particular medication.  You were also provided information for a patient case study scenario. Week 5 was your opportunity to conduct research for this debate.

This week, you will present and defend your assigned stance (pro or con) and specific medication for your patient case study scenario with your peers. Within the debate, you will also share your perspective on why the alternative medication class would not be appropriate for the patient case scenario.  Patient Case Medication

Support your answers with evidence-based, peer-reviewed scholarly literature.

Note: APA style format with citations and references will apply.

As a reminder, these were the assigned medications:

Pro Con
Amphetamine Amphetamine
Methylphenidate Methylphenidate
Alpha Adrenergic Agonist Alpha Adrenergic Agonist
Non-Stimulant Non-Stimulant

 

Resources

Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.
Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.

WEEKLY RESOURCES

To prepare:

  • Review the Required Learning Resources.
  • Review your research regarding your position and medication.
  • Consider how you will apply your specific position and medication to the presented patient case.

By Day 3 of Week 6

Post your response detailing your argument for the following:

  • What is the proposed mechanism of action of the medication(s)?, Why might this be appropriate for the patients?,
  • What are the advantages or disadvantages to your class of medication (options for different administration length of duration etc.)?,
  • What are the advantages or disadvantages to the other medication options?,
  • What possible side effects or considerations need to be evaluated?,
  • Provide one example for each consideration—legal ethical and social implications—for prescribing the medication category.

Note: Your response needs to be supported by three 3 scholarly peer-reviewed resources located outside of your course learning resources.

By Day 6 of Week 6

Before your essay is due, you must also complete an annotated bibliography Summary of your topic.

This annotated bibliography is essentially a Works Cited page, with a short paragraph for each citation in which you summarize the article and explain whether it is useful for your essay. Your annotated bibliography must include at least four citations, with a paragraph-long summary of each source. 

The annotated bibliography must be submitted through Canvas, and  neither the rough draft nor the final draft will not be accepted if the annotated bibliography is not turned in completed and on time.  The annotated bibliography is worth 50 points.

Annotated Bibliography Summary

 

An annotated bibliography accomplishes two things: 

(a) It allows you to complete your research, pick out quotes, and write Works Cited entries before you begin writing your paper. This allows you to focus on writing when you are working on your rough draft.

(b) Whenever you are asked to research a topic, whether in this class, another class, or even in the workplace, an annotated bibliography is a way to demonstrate that you have completed the research.  It’s hard evidence that you looked up your topic, read some articles, and understood what they were saying.  Annotated Bibliography

Getting started: 

Start by looking at the list of topics for the essay.  Next, log into the library’s online databases.  Search for your topic using both CQ ResearcherLinks to an external site. and the search box on the Learning Commons websiteLinks to an external site..  Be sure to try using different search terms to get different results.  Also search NPR.org and PBS.org/Newshour.

Once you have read a few articles, it is time to complete your annotated bibliography.  Use the citation features in both CQ Researcher and the library databases to copy and paste a MLA citation into a Word document.  (Make sure that you are grabbing a MLA citation and not some other format!)  Then add the hanging indent and correct any formatting errors in the citation, using the examples in the MLA module as a guide. Next, use mybib.com to create the citations for your web articles from NPR and PBS Newshour.  Pay particular attention to small details like punctuation and italics. Annotated Bibliography

Once you have formatted your citations write a short paragraph (6-7 sentences) about each article.  ,Your paragraph should include:

  • A summary (4-6 sentences) of either the entire article or the parts that are relevant to your thesis.  ,
  • At least two direct quotes with correctly formatted in-text citations.,
  • A sentence or two about whether the article will be useful in your essay. ,

You need four (4) citations for your annotated bibliography.  A bibliography with fewer than four citations will receive a zero.  You will not receive partial credit for submitting fewer than four sources. 

Use a correctly formatted MLA heading, and title your work “Annotated Bibliography,” centered beneath the heading, just as you would with an essay. Indent your paragraphs the same way you would in an essay.

Interview Report

For this assessment, you will create a 2-3 page report on an interview you have
conducted with a health care professional. You will identify an issue from the interview
that could be improved with an interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and
evidence to address the issue.

 

Interview Report
Introduction
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and leadership in interdisciplinary
teams will be vital to the health outcomes for your patients and organization. One way to
approach designing an improvement project is to use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA)
cycle. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement describes it thus:
The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is shorthand for testing a
change in the real work setting—by planning it, trying it, observing the
results, and acting on what is learned. This is the scientific method
adapted for action-oriented learning…Essentially, the PDSA cycle
helps you test out change ideas on a smaller scale before evaluating
the results and making adjustments before potentially launching into a
somewhat larger scale project (n.d.).
You might also recognize that the PDSA cycle resembles the nursing process. The
benefit of gaining experience with this model of project design is that it provides nurses
with an opportunity to ideate and lead improvements. For this assessment, you will not
be implementing all of the PDSA cycle. Instead, you are being asked to interview a
health care professional of your choice to determine what kind of interdisciplinary
problem he or she is experiencing or has experienced in the workplace. This interview,
in Assessment 2, will inform the research that you will conduct to propose a plan for
interdisciplinary collaboration in Assessment 3.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the PDSA Cycle activity prior to developing
the report. The activity consists of four questions that create the opportunity to check
your understanding of best practices related to each stage of the PDSA cycle. The
information gained from completing this formative will promote your success with the
Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification report. This will take just a few
minutes of your time and is not graded.

Portfolio Prompt: Remember to save the final assessment to your ePortfolio so that
you may refer to it as you complete the final Capstone course.
Scenario
This assessment is the first of three related assessments in which you will gather
interview information (Assessment 2); design a proposal for interdisciplinary
problem-solving, (Assessment 3); and report on how an interdisciplinary improvement
plan could be implemented in a place of practice (Assessment 4). At the end of the
course, your interviewee will have a proposal plan based on the PDSA cycle that he or
she could present to stakeholders to address an interdisciplinary problem in the
workplace.
For this assessment, you will need to interview a health care professional such as a
fellow learner, nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or another appropriate
person who could provide you with sufficient information regarding an organizational
problem that he or she is experiencing or has experienced, or an area where they are
seeking improvements. Consult the Interview Guide [DOCX]
Download Interview Guide [DOCX]
for an outline of how to prepare and the types of information you will need to complete
this project successfully.
Remember: this is just the first in a series of three assessments.
