2 Case Studies- Psychopharmacology

Case Study #1- due 10/30:Sample Case Study TemplateA case study presentation is a way of communicating information to your colleagues. Often a case presentation highlights an unusual presentation, feature, condition, complication, or intervention. Case reports can describe important and insightful information that helps to expand knowledge and may generate research ideas. For this assignment, you will complete one case presentation, each on a patient case selected from the literature or a real case from a clinical setting. The case should be typical, for example, common depression or anxiety. Select ÿa case that you feel is interesting and contributed to your learning. Use the template provided below to help guide your paper. Case workup is ÿdesigned to provide students opportunity to apply knowledge related to a particular case and management of all items related to and including psychopharmacologic treatment. This is an individual assignment. Feel free to choose a ÿdifferent stage of life, by age range, with common Psychiatric Mental Health (PMH) symptoms, and management strategies. The stages are as follows: adult,between ages 18-65.The following components must be provided: diagnosis, developmental stage, methods used to define diagnosis and rationale; anticipation of treatment course. Briefly describe the clinical presentation, appropriate testing (both focused physical exams as appropriate, and Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation findings and appropriate work-ups of clinical symptoms). Include subsequent co-morbidities, if any and discuss the treatment plan for a common PMH disorder.The case presentations are each a 8-10 pages paper (excluding title page, abstract, references, and appendices) in APA format described in the APA Publication Manual (6th ed). Each case paper will have its own grading rubric. The case presentation will also include additional development and/or stage of life considerations, and a corresponding to the manuscript.This is a paper not a powerpointAttached is the case presentation rubric.For References: Please do not use any sources from websites or .com sources, only use peer-reviewed academic and scientific journals.Also do not reuse papers from older courses, even if you are the author.

You can use your readings to change and add to your work, but it must be an original and not a copy of an algorithm from someone else. This is an algorithm developed specifically for this client to demonstrate your critical thinking throughout the treatment planning. ÿThe following areas must be covered in the assignment.Overview of your initial ÿÿÿÿÿpatient clinical assessment including: Chief compliant, medical ÿÿÿÿÿhistory, psychiatric history, psychosocial, mental status examination.Using the information from ÿÿÿÿÿthe assessment, reading materials and textbook, develop an ÿÿÿÿÿÿevidence-based algorithm for four treatment stages, tailored to this ÿÿÿÿÿindividual. The information must include interview questions needed ÿÿÿÿÿto guide decision-making at the different stages, length of treatment ÿÿÿÿÿin trial/initiation period, dosage titration schedule and duration of ÿÿÿÿÿtime the client should stay on the medication, factors that might influence the effectiveness of the ÿÿÿÿÿmedications, necessary labs and test, and patient education. Include pertinent side ÿÿÿÿÿeffects profiles that would warrant a change in the medication being ÿÿÿÿÿprescribed and a brief reasoning for your decisions.Attached is the case presentation rubric.For References: Please do not use any sources from websites or .com sources, only use peer-reviewed academic and scientific journals.Also do not reuse papers from older courses, even if you are the author.
