PLEASE FOLLOW BELOW:ZERO PLAGIARISM5 REFERENCE NOT MORE THAN 5 YEARS/APA 7 WRITING STYLE/FORMATWhen pediatric patients present with mood disorders, the process of assessing, diagnosing, and treating them can be quite complex. Children not only present with different signs and symptoms than adult patients with the same disorders, they also metabolize medications much differently. Yet, there may be times when the same psychopharmacologic treatments may be used in both pediatric and adult cases with major depressive disorders. As a result, psychiatric nurse practitioners must exercise caution when prescribing psychotropic medications to these patients. For this Assignment, as you examine the patient case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat pediatric patients presenting with mood disorders.To prepare for this Assignment:Review this week’s Learning Resources, including the Medication Resources indicated for this week.Reflect on the psychopharmacologic treatments you might recommend for the assessment and treatment of pediatric patients requiring antidepressant therapy.The Assignment: 5 pagesExamine Case Study: An African American Child Suffering From Depression.

Thank you for your initial discussion post. It stimulated my thinking, so thank you for that. Specifically on release of information waivers from patients and I remembered reading in the class cafe that you are from Miami and work in a psychiatric facility. While working in transplant I would, with consent of the patient, have access to their electronic medical record at other hospitals. However, one of the records we were not permitted to enter was the psychiatric evaluation due to the sensitivity of the information contained in those records. What are your thoughts on mental health researchers using the confidential records of mental health patients to further evidenced based practices? I have provided a link for you if you would like to refer to an article.Renee Sciallihttps://ps.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.ps.201400200

The Sample Paper
A mother brings her 6-month-old daughter to the HCP for evaluation of possible colic. The mother says the baby has had many episodes of crying after eating and, despite having a good appetite, is not gaining weight. The mother says the baby’s belly “gets all swollen sometimes.” The mother says the baby tastes “salty” when the mother kisses the baby. Further work up reveals a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The mother relates that her 23-month-old son has had multiple episodes of “chest congestion” and was hospitalized once for pneumonia. The mother wants to know what cystic fibrosis is and she also wants to know if she should have any more children.For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:The role genetics plays in the disease.Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.The cells that are involved in this process.How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.
