  • Title: “Building Trust and Rapport with Adolescent Patients: A Nurse Practitioner’s Approach to Taking a Comprehensive Medical and Psychosocial History”

    Nurse Practitioner Assignment 
    The Adolescent Patient: Building Trust and Rapport
    David is a 15-year-old male who presents for his annual physical exam. When the provider asks if there are any issues or concerns, David’s mother states that he is irritable all the time, has occasional outbursts, and recently began spending more time alone in his room and less time with his friends. She also states that she has noticed that David is staying up later and is difficult to awaken for school. When asked, both David and his mother admit that his grades have gone from A’s and B’s to mainly D’s. When interviewing David, you noticed he does not maintain eye contact and gives you short answers, mostly, “yes,” or “no,” responses.
    Answer the following questions in 2–3 pages, excluding title and reference page.
    How will you approach taking a more detailed medical and psychosocial history?
    When obtaining the social history, what are the important questions to ask?
    When obtaining the family history, what are the important questions to ask?
    What if anything in David’s medical history is important to know?
    What other information about David’s recent behavior should be obtained from his mother?
    The provider asks David’s mother to step out of the room. What questions should David be asked when alone?
    Discuss one evidence-based screening tool (should be age-appropriate) you will use to gather more information about David. In your discussion, please include the validity and reliability of the tool, how it is administered, and how it is scored and interpreted.
    Suppose David’s result is significant based on the screening tool, what are appropriate referrals for David and his mother? Discuss your rationale.
    As part of David’s annual physical examination, discuss health promotion and screening recommendations.

  • “Expanding Perspectives: A Comprehensive Analysis of Eight Topics in Contemporary Society”

    Paper 3 is due in the “Turnitin Dropbox for Paper 3” by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, May 15, the last day of
    classes. To get to this longer essay’s required word count, you can still use the same 8 topics, but expand your
    discussion of some of the more important ones into two paragraphs instead of one, or even make it into its own
    section with 3 paragraphs and a section heading. You can also bring in more evidence from outside sources, or place
    a counter-argument paragraph or two that you skillfully rebut to ensure your reader is convinced you’re not biased,
    and can present both sides of the argument you’re making. You can even choose to add one or two more topics. In
    other words, don’t put everything in Paper 2; save some for Paper 3. If for Paper 2 you write 150-word paragraphs for
    each of the 8 topics, plus a 150-word intro and a 150-word conclusion (150 is the expected minimum word count for
    paragraphs), you will have a 1,500-word essay to which you will only need to add another 500 words to make the
    minimum for Paper 3. To change the bibliography you create for Paper 2 into an annotated APA 7 bibliography for
    Paper 3, you just need to provide specific information about each source entered in your list of entries. For your
    convenience, I’ve providing here the same link posted to Blackboard entitled “Creating an Annotated Bibliography.”
    By merging Paper 3 with an annotated bibliography of 8-10 sources, the total points available for this
    assignment is 50 points, as per the syllabu
