Canvas Assignment 4: Energy Balance Case Study

Name:

Introduction

Janet is a 38-year-old mother of three who has experienced gradual weight gain after the birth of each of her children. Janet is 5 feet 4 inches tall and currently weighs 235 pounds. She works as an accountant sitting at a desk all day crunching numbers. Her days are long, and her job is stressful.

Janet states that she does not engage in regular exercise, feels tired, and does not have much time to prepare healthy meals. On her way home, she often stops for fast food take-out for herself and family. Since she feels tired often, she drinks 24 ounces of cola daily to keep her “energized.” For breakfast, she loves to stop at Dunkin Donuts for her donut and coffee. After dinner, she consumes 2 bowls of chocolate ice cream to manage her stress.

At bedtime, Janet has trouble falling asleep and gets about 5 hours of sleep a night. Her children report that she snores loudly.

Her recent physical at the doctor revealed that Janet is prediabetic with the following lab results:

Blood pressure = 170/90 mmHg

Cholesterol = 250 mg/dl

LDL Cholesterol = 172 mg/dl

HDL Cholesterol = 38 mg/dl

Fasting blood glucose = 110 mg/dl

Number of calories ingested = 2858

Number of calories expended = 1090

This is a very interesting case since Sam is only 19 years old and has a history of major depressive disorder (MDD) and also generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). At a glance, I noticed that his behavior has highs and lows since he has gone from being violent by throwing a chair at a store window to having a “resounding moment” where everything makes sense. Among many other clues, this leads me to believe Sam can be newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder with manic episodes.

After consulting our DSM-5-TR book on page 140, I also realized Sam presents multiple symptoms that represent the diagnosis of bipolar disorder. To start Sam preceded a “psychotic breakdown” along with a history of MDD. He has also presented physiologic changes like diminished sleep, and other signs, and symptoms of a manic episode (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM-5-TR 2022). It also appears he is more talkative than usual by engaging his colleagues for long hours in conversation. Adding on to his symptoms it also appears he has engaged in high-risk behaviors such as drinking and sexual relations which was not his norm before. He has thought of himself as being better than the professors which match the ideas of grandiosity.

At first, I wasn’t sure which medication to prescribe, but it seems he would benefit from lithium since lithium is an antimanic medication primarily used to treat bipolar disorder(Lithium, 2022). Sources such as MedlinePlus indicate lithium is a mood stabilizer and works by releasing dopamine and serotonin in the brain (Lithium: MedlinePlus Drug Information 2023). Just like this case, I have seen many but now I see things differently since I know more in-depth the signs and symptoms as well as researching the proper medication.

Week 6, Medication for Bipolar Disorders

What diagnosis do you believe may apply to this individual?

The patient is a young boy presenting with a 'psychotic break,' characterized by reckless behaviors, sudden and unconventional decision-making (such as changing his major in university), distractibility, reduced need for sleep, a heightened sense of knowledge and grandiosity (believing he can teach courses in the university), and unusual beliefs regarding the nature of reality and his newfound appreciation for life. He is also engaging in high-risk behaviors, including excessive drinking, sexual activity, violence, increased spending, and initiating numerous projects without completing any. These symptoms are indicative of a manic episode (if they present more than a week).

Considering the patient's history of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorder, the diagnosis of Bipolar I Disorder (BPD) has been established. It is crucial to first rule out any medical problems, brain trauma, substance abuse, and other mental disorders that may be included in the differential diagnosis of BPD. The primary distinction between bipolar I and II lies in the nature of the manic or hypomanic episodes. In bipolar I disorder, individuals experience full manic episodes that typically last for at least one week. On the other hand, bipolar II disorder is characterized by hypomanic episodes, which are milder in intensity and shorter in duration, lasting no more than four days (Stahl, 2021).

Beyond this key difference, there are also variations in the clinical course and family history associated with these two subtypes. Individuals with bipolar II disorder tend to receive their diagnosis later in life, and their first experience of hypomania occurs at an older age compared to those with bipolar I disorder. These distinctions in age of onset and diagnostic patterns contribute to the differentiation between bipolar I and II disorders (Brancati et al., 2023).

Manic often presents with the feeling of being extremely important and having a very high opinion of oneself, sometimes to the point of having false beliefs about one's capabilities (Howse et al., 2023). In this case, the patient believes he is capable of teaching at the university. An experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) can conduct a thorough history assessment to determine whether the psychosis is linked to brain traumas, substance use, schizoaffective disorders, or BPD.

What classifications of medications can be used to treat this disorder? Which medication do you recommend and why?

When the patient is diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, it indicates the need for mood stabilizers. Various mood stabilizers are available, including Lithium, Lamotrigine, Valproic Acid, and Carbamazepine. According to Stahl (2021), Lithium is considered the foundational and standard treatment for bipolar disorder and acute mania. However, this medication comes with several potential side effects, such as tremors, nephrotoxicity (Diabetes Insipidus), hypothyroidism, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight gain, hair loss, acne, sedation, decreased cognition, and incoordination. It can also lead to EB Stain anomalies in the fetus if taken during pregnancy.

Lithium additionally has a very low therapeutic index, signifying that the lethal dose of this medication is very close to the therapeutic level in the blood. Therefore, monitoring of blood levels of this medication is crucial throughout the treatment process. Regular assessments of kidney function, thyroid hormone levels, and electrolytes are also necessary. Lithium effectively stabilizes mood and reduces the severity of manic episodes (Stahl, 2021). Alongside medication, psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or family-focused therapy, plays an essential role in treatment. It is equally important to educate the patient's family members about the disease and the treatment process.

Article Critique

article critique 

Please write a critique on a given article. 

Please follow the rubric. 

1.  Is the research study relevant to the study of nursing, (be specific and include examples from the article)?  

2.  Is the method/design appropriate in terms of the research question/hypothesis? 

What was the research question/hypothesis? Was it clearly stated? 

 Write how data was collected, method, procedure, sample. also write how data were analyzed.

 Key elements are discussed, and identification of items should be included. Provide a description of each of these key elements.  

3.      What   is the theoretical context? See chapter 7 in Polit & Beck. The terms   theoretical and conceptual frameworks are used interchangeably. Theories are   used to describe, predict, explain, and to control phenomena.   (Theoria is a Greek Word that means   beholding or speculation). 

“Theoretical   frameworks provide the organization for the study. It guides the researcher   in the interpretations of the results. the importance of the theory is   dependent on the degree of research based evidence and level of its theory   development. 

There are four levels of theory development 

1) factor isolating   (describe phenomena) 

2) Factor relating (explain phenomena), 

3) Situation   relating (predict the   relationships between/among phenomena), 

4) Situation producing (control   phenomena and relationships

**If   your article does not have a theoretical framework what do you suggest based   on Polit & Beck Chapter 7?  

 4. Describe the results of the study (identify if they are believable or not) 

5.  Are the results significant? In what way-explain use examples?  

6.   Are the results transferable? How? Transferability refers to the readers of the research to make connections but invites readers of research to make connections between elements of a study and their own experience. Transferability does not involve broad claims. How does this research apply to YOUR specific practice as a Registered Nurse?  

According to Brown (2005), Transferability can be enhanced by providing what is often referred to as thick description (i.e., giving enough detail so the readers can decide for themselves if the results

are transferable to their own contexts).  

7.  Implications for nursing practice, be specific how would this study impact nursing practice (use specific examples from the article)?  

8.  Implications for future research, be specific and use examples from the article.  

 The paper shall reflect a scholarly effort; proper grammar, coherence, spelling, and accurately use APA format. Have someone proof read your paper. Read your paper out loud to yourself.
