After studying Module 1: Lecture Materials & Resources, review and discuss the MindTap case study – Case Studies in Psychotherapy Workbook – The Case of Simone.
In your own words, summarize the case in your video:
What was the case about
Who did it involve
What happened in the case
What caused the distress
Demonstrate the method to establish the therapeutic alliance with an elderly patient (over 65) during the patient session that could help relieve the patient in this case.
Your video should be at least 5-7 minutes and recorded with the media recorder or uploaded into Canvas Studio. Then, post the video in this discussion as your initial po

Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation 1
Step 1: You will use the Graduate Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template to:
Compose a written comprehensive psychiatric evaluation of a patient you have seen in the clinic.
Upload your completed comprehensive psychiatric evaluation as a Word doc. Scanned PDFs will not be accepted.
For the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Presentation Assignment: You will need to get it signed by your preceptor for the presentation (actual signature, not electronically typed).
Step 2: Each student will create a focused SOAP note video presentation in the next assignment. See Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Presentation 1for more details.
SOAP is an acronym that stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan.  
S = 
Subjective data: Patient’s Chief Complaint (CC); History of the Present Illness (HPI)/ Demographics; History of the Present Illness (HPI) that includes the presenting problem and the 8 dimensions of the problem (OLDCARTS or PQRST); Review of Systems (ROS) 
O = 
Objective data: Medications; Allergies; Past medical history; Family psychiatric history; Past surgical history; Psychiatric history, Social history; Labs and screening tools; Vital signs; Physical exam, (Focused), and Mental Status Exam 
A = 
Assessment: Primary Diagnosis and two differential diagnoses including ICD-10 and DSM5 codes 
P = 
Plan: Pharmacologic and Non-pharmacologic treatment plan; diagnostic testing/screening tools, patient/family teaching, referral, and follow up 

Evaluate the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Assessment 1 using best practices found in the literature. ***Please read all instructions, my paper from assessment 1 is attached that you need to read to complete this assigment.

What are some of the challenges involved in combining methodologies when creating a research proposal and carrying out a research project? How can these challenges be overcome?

For this assessment, you will use the template provided in the Course Resources.
Considering what you have learned about APRN roles and the principles of patient self-care management previously, address the following points for this assessment in 3-4 pages not including the title or reference pages:
Describe how an APRN would involve themselves in each of the following self-care management activities:
Gather clinical data before a visit.
Set agendas for patient visits.
Help patients set health goals.
Develop action plans for achieving goals.
Track health outcomes.
Refer patients to community programs.
What APRN role(s) (i.e., certified nurse educator, nurse practitioner, nurse executive, clinical nurse specialist, certified nurse informaticist, advanced practice case manager, etc), would best fit each of the activities you chose?
What intervention(s) would an APRN employ to support patient self-management for each activity you chose? For example, a nurse practitioner may use Motivational Interviewing techniques, a nurse executive may convene a task force, and a nurse educator may track outcomes and tailor educational offerings based on data. List and describe the interventions for each of the activities you chose. The AHRQ site below can support your search.
What self-care management principles listed above support the interventions you describe?
Furthermore, the Joint Commission (Battersby et al., 2010) identified the following principles of patient self-care management:
Clinical and health behavior assessments are brief and targeted
Evidence-based information is used to guide patient-clinician discussions and shared decisions
Clinicians and staff maintain a nonjudgmental approach to patients
Patients and clinicians collaboratively prioritize & set goals & action steps
Patients and clinicians collaborate, identify and solve goal-related problems
Patients work on SMS with several members of the healthcare team; the commitment to SMS is practice-wide
SMS interventions are delivered in a variety of formats (in person, by phone, online, via print materials)
The focus is patient self-efficacy
The healthcare team provides timely, active follow-up
Case  management is provided for selected patients
Patients are linked to evidence-based community programs
SMS is delivered and reinforced in numerous multifaceted interventions
