Hello Gabriela,
Thank you for your video case presentation.
I will address the third discussion prompts, which are the advantages and disadvantages of the treatment options provided in your video case presentation. I agree that a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions is needed to effectively manage post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in J.M. It is impressive that you recommended Quetiapine as an effective medication for ameliorating global PTSD symptoms. However, I would weigh its overall safety for this patient, considering its sedating effects. Since Quetiapine is a second-generation antipsychotic typically used as a second-line monotherapy or third-line augmentation strategy for PTSD, Prazosin could be an alternative prescription for this patient. Prazosin is a first-line agent for managing PTSD-related nightmares by reducing their frequency and severity, thereby improving sleep quality. Additionally, prescribing Sertraline (Zoloft), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), is approved for managing the broader spectrum of PTSD symptoms, including intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and general anxiety, by stabilizing mood and reducing the intensity of traumatic memories. (de Moraes Costa et al, 2020).
As mental health providers, we should carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of these treatment options. Prazosin has a strong efficacy in reducing nightmares, which can significantly improve sleep and daytime functioning. Zoloft helps manage a wide range of PTSD symptoms, contributing to an overall improvement in mood and anxiety levels. (de Moraes Costa et al, 2020). However, Prazosin may cause potential side effects such as dizziness and hypotension, which need to be monitored. Zoloft’s common side effects include nausea, insomnia, and potential sexual dysfunction, and it may take several weeks to observe the full therapeutic effect. (de Moraes Costa et al, 2020).
Furthermore, non-pharmacologic treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are highly effective in addressing the root causes of PTSD, helping patients develop healthier coping mechanisms and reduce symptom severity without medication side effects. (Eriksson, 2024). Alternative therapies, such as exposure therapy, have been indicated for managing PTSD patients by helping them process their emotions and overcome their fears. Additionally, play therapy and art therapy provide expressive outlets for children, allowing them to process and communicate their emotions in a safe environment. (Eriksson, 2024). Nonetheless, these non-pharmacologic treatments, like CBT, require a high level of commitment and regular attendance, which might be challenging for some patients and their families. While beneficial for emotional expression, alternative therapies may not address core PTSD symptoms as directly as evidence-based treatments like CBT.
Lastly, the PMHNP must educate the patient and his mother about the nature of PTSD, the importance of adhering to the treatment plan and monitoring for side effects. Combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions often yields the best outcomes. It is also crucial to provide a supportive and understanding environment at home and school to facilitate his recovery. This comprehensive approach, involving medication management, therapy, and supportive care, will help address his symptoms holistically and promote long-term healing and adjustment. (de Moraes Costa et al, 2020).

If you see incivility taking place on your team, what steps can you take to stop it?

Case Study:
In Estate of Travaglini v. Ingalls Health (2009), an 84-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital
with general complaints of “not feeling well.” At the time of his admission, the physician told the admitting nurse that the patient had dysphagia and must be observed whenever he was eating or trying to
swallow liquids. At 10:00 that evening, an aide came to the patient’s room and left a sandwich for him to eat. Shortly afterward, the patient’s roommate heard the patient choking and summoned help.
At autopsy, it was confirmed that he had aspirated the turkey sandwich, and that this was the cause 
of the cardiopulmonary arrest that killed the patient. Though liability was found against the aide and 
her supervisor, the court also upheld a verdict of $500,000 against the hospital.
Instruction: 
this client care scenario is viewed from a legal lens and how the UAP, the supervisor, and the hospital were found negligent. Because ethics and legal principles often overlap, consider the same scenario from an ethical standpoint. Answer the following questions, record your answers on a Word document, and upload it below. Always give credit to your sources.
Define beneficence and non-maleficence. Discuss how they are similar, yet different, and give examples of each.
How were both of these ethical principles not upheld in the given scenario?
Rewrite the scenario of this client with dysphagia to uphold these ethical principles. Consider the rights of delegation. What could the provider, admitting nurse, and the UAP do differently to ‘do good’ while also ‘doing no harm’? What provider orders should be included?
Start your scenario with the same opening sentence: An 84-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with general complaints of “not feeling well.”

Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in the first assessment (attached). Then, implement your health promotion plan by conducting a hypothetical face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected group. How would you set goals for the session, evaluate session outcomes, and suggest possible revisions to improve future sessions?
Introduction:This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.
Preparation: For this assessment, you will conclude the clinical learning activity you began in Assessment 1.
You will resume the role of a community nurse tasked with addressing the specific health concern in your community. This time, you will present, via educational outreach, the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in Assessment 1 to your fictitious audience. In this hypothetical scenario, you will simulate the presentation as though it would be live and face-to-face. You must determine an effective teaching strategy, communicate the plan with professionalism and cultural sensitivity, evaluate the objectives of the plan, revise the plan as applicable, and propose improvement for future educational sessions. To engage your audience, you decide to develop a PowerPoint presentation with voice-over and speaker notes to communicate your plan.
Remember that your first assessment (Assessment 1) MUST be satisfactorily completed to initiate this assessment (Assessment 4).
Please review the assessment scoring guide for more information.
To prepare for the assessment, you may wish to review the health promotion plan presentation assessment and scoring guide to ensure that you understand all requirements.
Instructions: Complete the following:
Prepare a 10–12 slide PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over and detailed speaker notes that reflects your hypothetical presentation. This presentation is the implementation of the plan you created in Assessment 1. The speaker notes should be well organized. Be sure to include a transcript of the voice-over (please refer to the PowerPoint tutorial). The transcript can be submitted on a separate Word document.
Simulate the hypothetical face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected community individual or group.
Imagine collaborating with the hypothetical participant(s) in setting goals for the session, evaluating session outcomes, and suggesting possible revisions to improve future sessions.

Context: Health education is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, n.d.). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2030 prompts action in health services accessibility, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence prevention, maternal, infant, and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse prevention, and tobacco use cessation or prevention.
Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (Flanders, 2018; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).
