Guidelines for Course Project Milestone 2:

Course Project Milestone form.docx

Nursing Diagnosis and Care Plan Assignment

Purpose
This activity will be a continuation of the Milestone 1: Health History that you submitted in Week 4. In this part of the assignment you will take the information you gathered, analyze the data, and develop a nursing care plan.

Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:

CO #3: Utilize effective communication when performing a health assessment. (PO #3)

CO #4: Identify teaching/learning needs from the health history of an individual. (PO #2)

CO #5: Explore the professional responsibilities involved in conducting a comprehensive health assessment and providing appropriate documentation. (PO #6)

Directions

Download the NR305_Milestone2_Form from Doc Sharing. You will type your answers directly into this Word document. Your paper does NOT need to follow APA formatting; however, you are expected to use correct grammar, spelling, syntax and write in complete sentences.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

NU 665 C. Complicated Pregnancy Interactive

Complicated Pregnancy

What following Questions do you have for Jamie?

  • How has being pregnant affected your emotional well-being and mental health?
  • Have you noticed any changes in your mood, anxiety levels, or stress since becoming pregnant?

As a PMHNP, what education would you provide Jamie about buprenorphine/naloxone use in pregnancy?

As a PMHNP or Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, it is crucial to educate pregnant Jamie on the use of buprenorphine/naloxone during pregnancy. Buprenorphine/naloxone aids in stabilizing opioid dependence, preventing withdrawal symptoms in a mother, which can be detrimental to both the mother and the infant, and decreases the likelihood of recurrence of opioid use, which is a safer alternative to ongoing opioid abuse. Nevertheless, infants born to women who use buprenorphine are at risk of developing newborn abstinence syndrome (NAS). However, the NAS symptoms caused by this medication are generally less severe compared to other opioids (Link et al., 2020). Frequent expert monitoring is essential for the regular delivery of drugs in combination with regular examination of dose modifications.

Regarding Jamie, it is imperative that he attends all of his prenatal visits, maintains open communication with his healthcare team, and establishes a comprehensive strategy for managing the labour and delivery process in collaboration with them while also considering cases of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). Postpartum care encompasses several key components, including the need to change medication dosage, effectively address postpartum depression, and engage in discussions about nursing due to the potential transfer of medication into breast milk. Jamie should receive support and guidance throughout treatments, counselling, and participation in support groups (Link et al., 2020). These methods are effective in addressing the psychological components of a rehabilitation programme and in developing a long-term plan to prevent relapse. Faith in her husband’s ability to uplift her while maintaining a robust support structure would also be crucial for her general well-being.

What education can you provide to Jamie regarding her concerns?

You must keep taking the buprenorphine/naloxone prescription, Jamie. Relapse and a hazardous withdrawal phase might occur if you stop using this medication, which could be very harmful to you and your unborn child. Together with you, your obstetrician, and your anesthesiologist, we will devise a multimodal pain medication regimen to alleviate your discomfort to an adequate level. Although NAS is a concern, it is usually manageable, and when compared to other opioids, buprenorphine is an effective treatment. The best way to deal with your growing worry is to seek professional help, such as therapy or counseling. Also, it’s important to include your support system in your struggles to figure out what kind of emotional support you need (Link et al., 2020). Those efforts end up being quite useful. You may confidently and reassuringly handle this time of your pregnancy by being educated, participating in open communication with your healthcare team, and focusing on the positive aspects.

What screening tools would be appropriate to use with Jamie?

We suggest using the following screening tools to get a good look at Jamie’s mental symptoms and what’s causing them: using the GAD-7 to measure anxiety levels, the PHQ-9 to evaluate the degree of depression, and the PCL-5 to detect trauma-related symptoms of PTSD that may have developed as a result of the traumatic event during delivery.  In addition, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) can be utilized to identify depression throughout pregnancy. At the same time, the California-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is necessary to evaluate any indications of suicidal thoughts or actions in patients (Ahmadi et al., 2023). The equipment will assist the doctor in conducting a comprehensive assessment when diagnosing her mental condition.

Given your current information on Jamie, what other questions would you ask her regarding her current symptoms?

Following a mental health exam, I would inquire further about Jamie’s precise anxiety triggers and the frequency of her symptoms. Restlessness and anxiousness are two of them; it would be helpful to understand how they affect her day-to-day existence. Investigating potential triggers and recurrent intrusive thoughts, as well as how they affect the protagonist’s emotional world, can help uncover PTSD-related elements connected to the traumatic birth event. How minor depressive symptoms affect a person’s mood, day-to-day activities, and social relationships intrigues me. I’d also like to know if they’ve caused changes in eating patterns, energy levels, or social withdrawal (Link et al., 2020). The development of a thorough treatment plan intended to meet and address all of her mental health requirements throughout pregnancy will be aided by understanding how the indicators are affecting her functionality, the coping mechanisms she has attempted, her spouse, and other relevant parties.

List 3-5 differential diagnoses for Jamie.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD):

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):

Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

Of your differentials, which diagnoses would you, the PMHNP, choose as a primary diagnosis to work on for today’s session?

I will primarily focus on Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which have been classified as the main illnesses affecting Jim. The elevated scores she obtained on the GAD-7 and PCL-5 indicate that she exhibited pronounced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety following her traumatic childbirth, subsequently affecting her daily functioning and emotional well-being (Link et al., 2020). The identification of these diagnoses involves examining potential triggers, devising coping strategies, and creating a contingency plan for the use of anxiety-reducing approaches and trauma symptom management throughout pregnancy.

It is essential to exercise increased caution when prescribing medication for her anxiety and PTSD. SSRIs, such as sertraline or paroxetine, are strongly recommended for their excellent safety profile and ability to inhibit serotonin reuptake selectively. These medications frequently emerge as the most optimal choice for women in terms of symptom management while posing the least amount of risk to the developing foetus. Prenatal exposure carries a risk, but postpartum withdrawal symptoms are typically minimal. Non-pharmaceutical treatments, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), should be considered (Link et al., 2020). Medication selection should be influenced by trimester when considering the use of SSRIs during pregnancy. It is generally believed that SSRIs pose minimal or no hazards in the latter trimesters. However, patients need to be frequently monitored during all stages of pregnancy.

What patient education will you provide regarding your chosen medication?

I would provide Jamie with an educational session on the mechanism of action of the specific selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) pill she has chosen. I would emphasize its effectiveness in alleviating her anxiety and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during pregnancy while also highlighting the importance of minimizing any potential risks to her baby. I would explain to the patient the significance of taking the drug in the correct dosage, as well as the possible adverse effects, such as nausea, dizziness, and sleep disruption. I would also provide the most effective ways to manage these side effects. The initial discussion should include a detailed explanation of the sequential progress made in alleviating symptoms and the significance of allowing sufficient time for improvement to occur (Serrell, 2021). Moreover, I will underscore the importance of regular follow-up sessions to monitor the mother’s mental health and the developing baby’s progress while ensuring that the medical professionals prioritize her emotional well-being.

What non-pharmacologic treatment options would you suggest for Jamie?

Jamie would consider cognitive-behavioural therapy, or CBT, to be effective because it doesn’t require taking medication. Any negative thought patterns that could lead to anxiety or PTSD symptoms as a result of the trauma she may have experienced during childbirth can be found and eliminated with CBT. Techniques like mindfulness meditation, law relaxation, and stress management are examples of skills that can enhance counselling programmes by offering practical ways to deal with anxiety and other stress-related issues that may arise during pregnancy (Serrell, 2021). Creating support groups for these pregnant women and providing them with a venue where they may hear the tales of others with the same condition and receive emotional support and encouragement from them could be another option to provide help to expectant mothers who have experienced trauma. The primary objective is to increase the person’s psychological resilience by teaching her coping mechanisms for any difficulties she may encounter and, ultimately, to give her the confidence to take care of her health without needing medicine.

What education do you provide to her?

Taking prescription sertraline in the form of SSRIs is safe for you and your unborn child in the second and third trimesters. It provides anxiety management without posing any dangers. As the performance progresses, the process management will monitor participant safety constantly. Since very little sertraline penetrates milk, it is unlikely that this medication will find its way into breast milk, which is why nursing mothers can use it. We’ll consider both the area’s advantages and any potential drawbacks (Serrell, 2021). After giving delivery, your next follow-up visit may be planned so that, should the need arise, we can resume your medication regimen. Maintaining contact with your medical team after giving birth is essential to voice any concerns and make sure you and your child are receiving the care you need.

What will be your safety plan and follow-up plan for Jamie?

Jamie might benefit best from therapies, including nonpharmacological drugs, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). A psychiatrist may be able to assist Neya in managing her anxiety and PTSD symptoms by helping her recognize and alter her negative beliefs and actions. In addition to psychotherapy, practising stress management, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques will help you gain valuable skills to assist you in getting through the challenges of pregnancy. If other pregnant women were going through the same thing, they needed help. In addition, these networks of female support can inspire one another and offer beneficial peer interactions (Serrell, 2021). The techniques demonstrated are believed to assist Jamie in managing his mental health issues through nonpharmacological treatment of mental health issues and the development of a balanced lifestyle centred on medicine.

Please enter any additional information you would like to include in this case.

Developing a long-lasting partnership with Jamie’s team members is crucial to establishing her case, and two critical members of that team are her obstetrician and a psychotherapist who specializes in perinatal mental health. Her medical team will always be there to provide Jamie with care for the benefit of both mother and child if they monitor her mental health and medication response throughout her pregnancy (Ahmadi et al., 2023). Jamie’s ability to take charge of his care will be enhanced by training on medication safety, CBT substitutes, and networks that actively support individuals in making informed treatment decisions. These concerns would be crucial to ensuring that her pregnancy ends well and that she is prepared for the responsibilities of parenting since she is anxious about giving birth, experiencing PTSD episodes as her child grows, and the readjustment period that follows.

Unit Learning Outcomes
This assessment task maps to the following ULOs:
ULO1: Critically analyse and deconstruct behaviour change theory and its application within mental health contexts.
ULO2: Evaluate and critique, biological, psychological, social, neurophysiological and systematic factors that impact on behaviour and behaviour change in mental health contexts.
ULO3: Formulate effective individual and systemic responses to facilitate behaviour change founded on theory, empirical research and recovery principles.
ULO4: Apply motivational interviewing knowledge and strategies to facilitate co-constructed consumer behaviour change.
Rationale
This assessment task provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the application of behaviour change theory within mental health contexts. By engaging in a structured written assignment, you will critically analyse theoretical perspectives, synthesise empirical evidence, and evaluate the complex factors influencing behaviour change in specific populations. This task encourages the development of higher-order skills, including critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and integration of psychological, neurophysiological, social, and systemic knowledge. It also mirrors professional practice, where mental health practitioners must justify intervention strategies, anticipate challenges, and design theoretically informed approaches that are responsive to individual and population-level needs.
Background
This assignment focuses on understanding and facilitating behaviour change in mental health populations, where sustainable changes – such as smoking cessation, increased physical activity,

Assessment Brief
Reduced alcohol or illicit drug use, and treatment adherence – are critical for improved health and overall quality of life. Mental health professionals must approach these behaviours using evidence-based strategies that are tailored to the unique characteristics, needs, and barriers of the population being served. By critically analysing behaviour change theories and examining biological, psychological, social, and organisational factors, this assignment prepares you to develop informed, theoretically grounded interventions. It also strengthens the ability to anticipate and address challenges at multiple levels – neurophysiological, individual, interpersonal, and systemic – thereby enhancing the likelihood of meaningful and sustained behaviour change in clinical practice.

Submission Format
This assessment should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document through the Assessment 2 submission link on Blackboard.

• Note: The similarity check portal is not the final submission. Please ensure you submit your completed assignment to the official Assessment 2 submission portal on Blackboard.
• Please ensure your total document word count does not exceed 2,500 words (this includes all content, headings, citations, reference list, and any tables/diagrams). No cover sheet is needed but a title for your work is required. If the word count is exceeded, the assignment will not be graded.

Introduction
This assessment will evaluate your ability to critically analyse and apply behaviour change theories within mental health contexts. You will be required to demonstrate knowledge of key theoretical models, including the Transtheoretical Model of Change, Self-Determination Theory, and the Health Belief Model, as well as the principles of Motivational Interviewing. In addition, the report will assess your capacity to evaluate the biological, psychological, social, and neurophysiological factors that influence behaviour change. You will be expected to integrate empirical research with recovery-oriented principles to design individual and systemic responses that support sustainable behaviour change in mental health populations. The focus will be on behaviours such as smoking cessation, physical activity, treatment adherence, and reduction of substance use, with an emphasis on tailoring interventions to diverse populations and addressing barriers to change. By completing this report, you will demonstrate the ability to justify intervention strategies with theoretical and evidence-based reasoning, reflecting the critical thinking and professional practice skills required of mental health practitioners.
