Insomnia is one of the most common medical conditions you will encounter as a PNP. Insomnia is a common symptom of many mental illnesses, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and ADHD (Abbott, 2016). Various studies have demonstrated the bidirectional relationship between insomnia and mental illness. In fact, about 50% of adults with insomnia have a mental health problem, while up to 90% of adults with depression experience sleep problems (Abbott, 2016). Due to the interconnected psychopathology, it is important that you, as the PNP, understand the importance of the effects some psychopharmacologic treatments may have on a patient?s mental health illness and their sleep patterns. Therefore, it is important that you understand and reflect on the evidence-based research in developing treatment plans to recommend proper sleep practices to your patients as well as recommend appropriate psychopharmacologic treatments for optimal health and well-being.Reference: Abbott, J. (2016). What?s the link between insomnia and mental illness?

Reflect on the case study excerpt and consider the therapy approaches you might take to assess, diagnose, and treat the patient?s health needs.Case: An elderly widow who just lost her spouse.Subjective: A patient presents to your primary care office today with chief complaint of insomnia. Patient is 75 YO with PMH of DM, HTN, and MDD. Her husband of 41 years passed away 10 months ago. Since then, she states her depression has gotten worse as well as her sleep habits.

Patient currently takes the following medications:\u00fa Metformin 500mg BID\u00fa Januvia 100mg daily\u00fa Losartan 100mg daily\u00fa HCTZ 25mg daily\u00fa Sertraline 100mg dailyCurrent weight: 88 kgCurrent height: 64 inchesTemp: 98.6 degrees FBP: 132\/86Post a response to each of the following:\u00fa List three questions you might ask the patient if she were in your office. Provide a rationale for why you might ask these questions.\u00fa Identify people in the patient?s life you would need to speak to or get feedback from to further assess the patient?s situation. Include specific questions you might ask these people and why.\u00fa Explain what, if any, physical exams, and diagnostic tests would be appropriate for the patient and how the results would be used.\u00fa List a differential diagnosis for the patient. Identify the one that you think is most likely and explain why.\u00fa List two pharmacologic agents and their dosing that would be appropriate for the patient?s antidepressant therapy based on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. From a mechanism of action perspective, provide a rationale for why you might choose one agent over the other.\u00fa For the drug therapy you select, identify any contraindications to use or alterations in dosing that may need to be considered based on the client?s ethnicity. Discuss why the contraindication\/alteration you identify exists. That is, what would be problematic with the use of this drug in individuals of other ethnicities?\u00fa Include any ?check points?
