Scenario: You work for a large urban

Scenario: You work for a large urban medical center as a psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) as a member of the psychiatry department staff. Your medical center is associated with the local university, which has a medical school. Several times a year, you have third-year medical students rotating through psychiatry on your floor. One day, the chief of psychiatry calls you to her office. She informs you that the student’s instructor has been called out of town on a family emergency. The chief of psychiatry was planning to take a vacation for the rest of the week. She asks you to fill in the lecture that the instructor from the medical school was supposed to provide. She tells you, “they’re only third year, so it’s no big deal- they love to know about the biologic basis of illness and how it relates to diagnosis and treatment. I know you could do this!” She then tells you, “after you give them the lecture, you can let them go for the day.” Select one of the disorders you learned about this term Discuss the theoretical neurobiology underlying the condition Describe how the underlying neurobiology results in the symptoms observed in the disorder- specifically addressing (at the receptor level) the alterations in normal functioning. Provide the learner with an overview of medications that can be used to treat the condition- BE SURE to emphasize how the drug is believed to react with receptors/cells/neuronal units to treat disease symptoms Include a discussion of any controversies which exist in the treatment of this disorder (if none exist, be sure to emphasize this). State therapeutic endpoints, that is, if the condition is successfully treated, what can the person expect? List any laboratory studies/measures/assessment that should precede, be obtained during, or after the treatment and discuss the recommended frequencies for these studies/measures/assessments. Your work will be presented in the format of a PowerPoint presentation. You will include speaker notes (notes that give the reader of your slides a “pretty good idea” of what you would say about each slide). If you have never made speaker notes before, this article from Microsoft will be helpful: How to add speaker notes (Links to an external site.) You should also know that a casual “Youtube” video search will yield multiple videos showing you how to do this . In addition to your course text, you should supplement your work with at least three peer-reviewed publications that specifically address critical areas of this assignment.

All areas outlined in course text and supplemental research reviewed should be addressed. 19 to >10.0 pts Proficient Discussion of the theoretical neurobiological basis of disorder not complete/incomplete with a gap of at least one major point (as defined by course text or from articles used to develop the assignment), or fails to provide a discussion of normal neurobiology or how normal neurobiology is believed to be impacted/altered resulted in manifestations of the disorder. 10 to >0 pts No Marks Multiple essential points missing ignores normal neurobiological functioning or fails to adequately describe two or more major points (as defined by course text or from articles used to develop the assignment) relevant to how normal neurobiology is believed to be impacted/altered resulting in manifestations of the disorder. This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Medications Used to Treat Condition 25 to >19.0 pts Accomplished Provides an overview of the medications which can be used to treat the disorder. Discussion should include: -First-line agents & theoretical mechanisms of action. -Second-line agents & theoretical mechanisms of action (if none, then this should be indicated). -Adjunctive medications/treatments and purported theoretical mechanisms of action (if none, then this should be indicated). NOTE: If information about an area of this evaluation parameter is unable to be obtained, the learner should make a statement indicating that no information is available specific to the area to avoid point loss.

Discussion of this topic area omits only one of the following topics -First-line agents & theoretical mechanisms of action. -Second-line agents & theoretical mechanisms of action (if none, then this should be indicated). -Adjunctive medications/treatments and purported theoretical mechanisms of action (if none, then this should be indicated).
