NURS – 6630 Discussion: Foundational Neuroscience

Week 1: Introduction to Neuroscience

Modern psychopharmacology is largely the story of chemical neurotransmission. To understand the actions of drugs on the brain, to grasp the impact of diseases on the central nervous system, and to interpret the behavioral consequences of psychiatric medicines, one must be fluent in the language and principles of neurotransmission. NURS – 6630 Discussion: Foundational Neuroscience .

—Dr. Stephen M. Stahl in Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology

By using a combination of psychotherapy and medication therapy, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners are positioned to provide a very unique type of care to clients with psychiatric disorders. To be successful in this role, you must have a strong theoretical foundation in pathophysiology, psychopharmacology, and neuroscience. This foundation will help you assess, diagnose, and treat clients as you relate presenting symptoms to theoretical neuronal functioning.

ORDER A CUSTOM-WRITTEN PAPER NOW

This week, as you begin to study psychopharmacology, you explore foundational neuroscience. You examine the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of psychopharmacologic agents, compare the actions of g couple proteins to ion gated channels, and consider the role of epigenetics in pharmacologic action.

Note: In previous courses, the term “patient” was used to describe the person receiving medical care. In traditional medicine and nursing, this term is used to describe the person you do something to, and it often refers to a passive recipient of care and services. As you move into the realm of psychiatric mental health, a transition will occur. You will work with individuals who are active participants in their care, and these individuals are generally referred to as “clients” as opposed to “patients.” It is important to note that the term “client” is also favored in other mental health disciplines, such as psychiatry, psychology, and social work. NURS – 6630 Discussion: Foundational Neuroscience .

 

Discussion: Foundational Neuroscience

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, it is essential for you to have a strong background in foundational neuroscience. In order to diagnose and treat clients, you must not only understand the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, but also how medications for these disorders impact the central nervous system. These concepts of foundational neuroscience can be challenging to understand. Therefore, this Discussion is designed to encourage you to think through these concepts, develop a rationale for your thinking, and deepen your understanding by interacting with your colleagues.

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Analyze the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of psychopharmacologic agents
  • Compare the actions of g couple proteins to ion gated channels
  • Analyze the role of epigenetics in pharmacologic action
  • Analyze the impact of foundational neuroscience on the prescription of medications

Part 1:

1. Please read
“Downsizing the American Dream”, by Marianne Cooper, The Atlantic, 2015

For easier reading and annotation, I have also saved it as a word document.

The Downsizing of the American Dream, Marianne Cooper, 2015, The Atlantic.docxPreview the documentView in a new window

In this reading, we are told that perhaps Americans need to downsize their dreams, and proofs are offered from statistical links that show we may be doing just that.  I have always been told that America is number 1.  We are all familiar with the idea that when America speaks, others listen.  We see ourselves as the keepers of freedom around the world.  We provide a beacon of hope when disaster happens by providing materials and leadership in reclamation efforts.  What is the implication, then, of Cooper’s short article?  If she is right and Americans are just going to be content, indeed grateful, to tread water and just hold on to eking out a living, how will that affect our future?  What have you seen that intersects with Cooper’s way of thinking?

In addition,

2.  Please read “The American Nightmare”, from Psychology Today. Mar/Apr, 2011 by Lauren Sandler     8 pp.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201103/the-american-nightmare

I have also saved the article without ads and pictures as a word document with page numbers for reference if you prefer.

The American Nightmare, Psychology Today, April, 2011, Lauren Sandler.docx

Please read and think about this article carefully for discussion.

3. Discussion Board — According to our journal articles, what is the state of America and its citizen dreamers?
Discussion Board Assignments:

Cooper says, in her article about readjusting the American dream to today’s conditions, that most of us will simply struggle to maintain the same standard of living as did our parents.  Is this the reality today?  If so, what is wrong with this picture, if anything?  Consider Black Boy and this new American dream Cooper sketches out.  What are the implications?

If we are to believe the three articles we have read by Cooper, Sandler, and Kamp, what is happening to American capitalism and America’s ability to show entrepreneurial leadership?  What do you, personally, like about the system we call capitalism?  What do you you see as the most negative things about capitalism? Explain.
Sandler notes that some thinkers believe that civil society is on the wane.  We do not connect with others in church and civic organizations.  We have porches on our houses but no one sits on them and we do not know our neighbors in what she calls our suburban sprawl.  We do not know or care about our own community.  Is this lack of community a notion that Richard Wright was familiar with? Prove or disprove it.   Do you think we do lack a civil society in the US today?  If this is a problem, what will the ramifications be upon America and Americans? Explain.

Does the RFP expressly state organization and user needs?

Please read carefully. Make sure you understand the assignment.

You have to download this template and fill in as part of the assignment. You have to worry about the name of the organization. I will do that. However, this is for a newly built assisted living and nursing home. Can accommodate 25 assisted and 65 nursing home patients. $25 million is in the budget.

You will conduct system selection, which requires completion of the following steps:

Reviewing a Request for Proposal (RFP)—this invites selected vendors to submit a proposal to you that outlines details of their proposed information system or systems.
Evaluation of the proposed system through on-site demonstration, site visits, reference checks, and making a decision.
Contract negotiation.

Assume that your healthcare organization has conducted an RFI, or a fact finding part of the system implementation and helps to select the potential vendors. It has requested information from vendors about their products and services. With the information gathered, the organization has screened the potential vendors and issues the RFP (request for proposal).

Download this RFP for EHR Implementation: UA_RFP-EHR. This is an actual RFP. Review the document and answer the following:

Does the RFP expressly state organization and user needs? If so, what are these? If not, why is the RFP failing to do so?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of this RFP?
How would you change this document?

Unit 3 Discussion 2
Ethical Issues in Counseling Children and Teens [u03d2] Unit 3 Discussion 2
Overview
For this discussion, briefly describe the hypothetical case that you have created (or are creating) for your Unit 3 assignment. Then, identify one potential ethical and one potential legal concern that you would have in mind, as you began counseling with this child or adolescent. Explain the course of action you would take in the first session in order to prevent legal or ethical problems by communicating clearly with your client while also building rapport. Use the course readings for this week to support your conclusions.
Example Scenario
As an example, consider this scenario: Kendra, a 16-year-old student, has been encouraged by her best friend to come see you. Kendra called to make the appointment herself. She lives alone with her mother who works the night shift at a local club. Kendra says she hopes that her mother won’t have to know about her counseling because “she’s always tired,” and Kendra’s concern has to do with a boyfriend her mother dislikes. Kendra has never actually met the boyfriend; he is someone she connected with online who she’s been texting. Recently, the texts have become very sexual and Kendra has begun feeling uncomfortable, although she also finds the relationship exciting.
Based on your readings this week, what would be one potential ethical issue that would be foremost in your mind as you begin counseling Kendra? What would be one potential legal issue? How would you handle these concerns when Kendra comes in?
Discussion Instructions
Now, briefly describe the hypothetical case you have created (or are creating) for this unit’s assignment.
· Identify one potential ethical issue and one legal issue that would be foremost in your mind as you begin counseling your client.
· Identify your plan for addressing those issues.
· Cite the appropriate section of the ACA Code of Ethics, linked in Resources, and at least one other relevant resource.

Assessing and Treating Clients With Impulsivity, Compulsivity, and Addiction Essay Assignment Papers

Week 8: Therapy for Clients With Impulsivity, Compulsivity, and Addiction

Impulsivity and compulsivity have a wide range of clinical presentations and often overlap with many other psychiatric disorders. Some individuals act without forethought and have difficulty saying “no” to certain things such as using illicit drugs or spending money, whereas other individuals engage in compulsive behaviors with undesirable consequences. In some cases, these impulsive and compulsive behaviors also fuel issues with addiction. To effectively assess and treat clients, you must understand how these disorders differ, as well as how their symptoms impact clients and their families.

This week, as you examine therapies for individuals with impulsivity, compulsivity, and addiction, you explore the assessment and treatment of clients with these disorders. You also consider ethical and legal implications of these therapies. Assessing and Treating Clients With Impulsivity, Compulsivity, and Addiction Essay Assignment Papers.

Impulsivity, compulsivity, and addiction are challenging disorders for clients across the lifespan. These disorders often manifest as negative behaviors, resulting in adverse outcomes for clients. In your role as the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, you have the opportunity to help clients address underlying causes of the disorders and overcome these behaviors. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with impulsivity, compulsivity, and addiction.

Compare and contrast Hume and Descartes on the role and significance of skepticism for philosophy as it is employed and discussed in the Meditations and the Enquiry

/in /by

PSYCHOLOGY

DESCARTES and HUME
Value: 40%Instructions: Write an essay of approximately 2000 words on one of the following topics:

1. Compare and contrast Hume and Descartes on the role and significance of skepticism for philosophy as it is employed and discussed in the Meditations and the Enquiry. Is one position/approach superior to the other? Give reasons why or why not.

2. David Hume offers both “sceptical doubts concerning the understanding” and a “sceptical solution” to those doubts. Summarize and critically evaluate Hume’s reasoning/position in either, or both, of these enterprises.

3. Compare and contrast Descartes and Hume on the source, nature and avoidability of human error. Then, critically evaluate both positions.
.
4. Summarize and critically evaluate Hume’s discussion of miracles. (Note: There will also be a similar question on the final exam. If you choose to write your essay on this topic you will be disqualified from answering that question on the final exam.)

5. Descartes says we are not “in” our bodies simply in the way a sailor is “in” a ship he/she is sailing. Summarize and critically evaluate the reasoning that leads him to say this.

6. A topic of your own choosing provided it is cleared in advance with the instructor.

The Philosophical Essay: There are many different ways one can write a philosophical essay. It is always important, however, to make it clear to the reader (and to yourself) when one is summarizing a view or position and when one is critically evaluating a position. Both elements are needed in a good essay. The amount of space dedicated to critical evaluation should never be less than 25%, and rarely more than 60% (depending upon how complex the summary is).
This is not a research essay. Feel free to use outside or secondary sources, though you need not. But make sure they are fully cited when relied upon, including author, title, date, and page (for internet sources, I need the URL down to the page).
All essays must be submitted to turnitin.com, with the receipt attached to the hard copy of the essay submitted to me
