Abnormal brain development or damage at an early age can lead to neuro-developmental disorders

Abnormal brain development or damage at an early age can lead to neuro-developmental disorders. Within this group of disorders, some are resolvable with appropriate and timely interventions, either pharmacological or non-pharmacological, while other disorders are chronic and need to be managed throughout the lifespan.

For this Assignment, you will develop a study guide for an assigned disorder and share it with your colleagues. In sum, these study guides will be a powerful tool in preparing for your certification exam.

To Prepare

• Your Instructor will assign you to a specific neurodevelopmental disorder from the DSM-5-TR.

• Research your assigned disorder using the Walden Library. Then, develop an organizational scheme for the important information about the disorder.

The Assignment

Create a study guide for your assigned disorder. Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references, and you should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide should be informed by the DSM-5-TR but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources.

Areas of importance you should address, but are not limited to, are:

• Signs and symptoms according to the DSM-5-TR

• Differential diagnoses

• Incidence

• Development and course

• Prognosis

• Considerations related to culture, gender, age

• Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects

• Nonpharmacological treatments

• Diagnostics and labs

• Comorbidities

• Legal and ethical considerations

• Pertinent patient education considerations

Assigned: Global Developmental Delay

Rubric

Create a study guide, in outline form with references, for your assigned disorder. Incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards.

The response is in a well-organized and detailed outline form. Informative and well-designed visual elements are incorporated.

Logistic Regression Analysis

Logistic Regression Analysis Lacourse, Claes, and Villeneuve (2001) carried out a study to see whether a love of heavy metal could predict suicide risk. Eric Lacourse and his colleagues used questionnaires to measure several variables: suicide risk (yes or no), marital status of parents (together or divorced/separated), the extent to which the person’s mother and father were neglectful, self-estrangement/powerlessness (adolescents who have negative self-perceptions, are bored with life, etc.), social isolation (feelings of a lack of support), normlessness (beliefs that socially disapproved behaviors can be used to achieve certain goals), meaninglessness (doubting that school is relevant to gain employment) and drug use. In addition, the authors measured liking of heavy metal; they included the sub-genres of classic (Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden), thrash metal (Slayer, Metallica), death/black metal (Obituary, Burzum) and gothic (Marilyn Manson). As well as liking, they measured behaviora...

Are there modifiable factors, such as health behaviors that lend themselves to better prevention efforts?

 Identify a current health issue of interest to you e.g diabetes, HIV/AIDS, heart disease etc. On the basis of current epidemiologic evidence, explain the factors that have contributed to the following: the observed trend in mortality rates for this disease, the changes in survival; the changes in incidence. A key concept in epidemiology is that of the levels of prevention.  As a community health nurse, describe primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention interventions related to this health issue.  Are there modifiable factors, such as health behaviors that lend themselves to better prevention efforts?  whatsapp +1(815) 406 9011
