Milton is a 68-year-old Asian American male who reports that his biggest problem is worrying non-stop. He worries all of the time and about “everything under the sun and beyond.” For example, he reports equal worry about his wife who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and whether he returned his book to the library yesterday to maintain a good patron status. He recognizes that his wife is more important than a book and is bothered that both cause him similar levels of worry even when he tries to rationalize the differences. Milton is unable to control his worrying with current mechanisms that he lists as distraction or self-talk. Supplementary, this excessive and uncontrollable worry is creating difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, constant impatience with others, difficulty focusing at work, and significant back and muscle tension. Milton has had a lifelong problem with worry, recalling that his mother called him a “worry wart as a child.” His worrying does “wax and wane”, and worsened when his wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. He feels he is at a loss for what he can do to control it and relax.

NU673-7D Unit 7 Discussion – CPT E&M Code and ICD-10 Diagnosis Code Herzing

Discussion Prompt

Use your lecture materials to determine what CPT E&M Code and ICD-10 diagnosis code to utilize for this ‘new patient’ encounter using the medical decision-making (complexity) approach.

Provide justification for the code you assigned by including the following information in your discussion:

Case:

This patient presents to a local health center. As the provider, you must conduct a full physical on the patient as well as a psychiatric intake.

Liam is a 22-year-old who reports to you that he feels depressed and is experiencing a significant amount of stress about school, noting that he’ll “probably flunk out.” He spends much of his day in his dorm room playing video games and has a hard time identifying what, if anything, is enjoyable in a typical day. He states once he leaves the room he begins sweating and feels as if he has heart palpations. He rarely attends class and has avoided reaching out to his professors to try to salvage his grades this semester. Liam has always been a self-described shy person and has had a very small and cohesive group of friends from elementary through high school. Notably, his level of stress significantly amplified when he began college. You learn that when meeting new people, he has a hard time concentrating on the interaction because he is busy worrying about what they will think of him – he assumes they will find him “dumb,” “boring,” or a “loser.” When he loses his concentration, he stutters, is at a loss for words, and starts to sweat, which only serves to make him feel more uneasy. After the interaction, he replays the conversation over and over again, focusing on the “stupid” things he said. Similarly, he has a long-standing history of being uncomfortable with authority figures and has had a hard time raising his hand in class and approaching teachers. Since starting college, he has been isolating more, turning down invitations from his roommate to go eat or hang out, ignoring his cell phone when it rings, and habitually skipping class. His concerns about how others view him are what drive him to engage in these avoidance behaviors. After conducting your assessment, you give the patient feedback that you believe he has social anxiety disorder, which should be the primary treatment target. You explain that you see his fear of negative evaluation, and his thoughts and behaviors surrounding social situations, as driving his increasing sense of hopelessness, isolation, and worthlessness.

NU673-7D Unit 11 Discussion – Managing Mood Disorders and Adjunctive

Discussion Prompt

Rebecca Cole is a 39 years old, single, African American female. She has never been married or had children. She has been institutionalized at a state mental health hospital for more than 7 years since she was diagnosed with unspecified schizophrenia. She was diagnosed at age 21 and has undergone more than 8 psychiatric hospital admissions over her lifespan. Ms. Cole has been transferred to a local acute care hospital due to uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension. She has been refusing blood glucose monitoring daily, so the charge nurse on the women’s floor has not been able to check her blood sugar for 2 days. She has also been refusing her antihypertensive and antipsychotic medication for 3 days. This has now led to more uncontrolled hypertension and an increase in psychosis and behavioral issues today. The nursing staff has become very frustrated and voiced their issues with hospital administration because they don’t feel the administration is listening to their concerns about the challenges faced on the psychiatric units, and particularly the challenges they are facing in caring for Rebecca.

You are the PMHNP who is assigned and is managing her psychiatric care while in the acute care hospital.

 At this point, can Rebecca make her own healthcare decisions? Why or why not? What legal risk for the PMHNP could be associated with caring for Rebecca in the acute care hospital setting?
How can integrative care be an approach that is utilized with this patient?
What other specialties should be involved and when she they be involved?
Discuss the potential ethical issues facing the staff nurses caring for Rebecca in both the acute care hospital setting currently and the state psychiatric hospital setting?
Why is continued integrative care a better option for patient outcomes and a better option from an ethical and legal perspective?

Part 2: As healthcare incorporates various mobile health applications, describe how mHealth (mobile health) is different from telehealth? How should we adjust healthcare due to mobile access by patients?

Ms. Smith is a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner working in an outpatient psychiatric clinic.  She is seeing Dale Knox, a 32-years old man for a psychiatric evaluation for the first time. Dale is currently separated from his wife, Sofie.  Dale and Sodie have been married for 9 years.  Dale has fully completed all of his pre-evaluation paperwork and he has signed the consent for treatment.  During the psychiatric evaluation, Ms. Smith observes that Dale is distraught, tearful and verbalizing feelings of worthlessness and no motivation for life in general.  He states directly that he is going to kill his wife and then kill himself tonight when she returns home from work because he can’t stand the thought of being divorced and he knows she is preparing to leave him. Mr. Knox states he has a handgun in his car and has bought additional ammunition.

Answer the following questions based on the case presentation:

Discuss the importance of informed consent in psychiatric-mental health treatment.
Would Mr. Knox meet the criteria for involuntary commitment, explain why or why not, and then discuss the involuntary commitment process for your state and if PMHNP is able to involuntarily commit a patient the state where you practice?
Should the PMHNP notify Mrs. Knox about her husband’s threat to kill her, or should the PMHNP protect the confidentiality of Mr. Knox treatment?
What additional resources should you consider in this case for help for the patient and his family?
What is the prevalence of suicide-related to someone who has a plan and the means? Are there any other criteria that this patient meets that places him in a higher risk category for carrying out suicide?
