ASSIGNEMENT 2
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last 5 weeks, using the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.
- Conduct a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation on this patient using the template provided in the Learning Resources. There is also a completed exemplar document in the Learning Resources so that you can see an example of the types of information a completed evaluation document should contain. All psychiatric evaluations must be signed by your Preceptor. You will submit your document in Week 5 Assignment, Part 2 area and you will include the complete Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation as well as have your preceptor sign the completed assignment. You must submit your documents using Turnitin.
- Develop a video case presentation, based on your progress note of this patient, that includes chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; and current psychiatric diagnosis, including differentials that were ruled out.
- Include at least five (5) scholarly resources to support your assessment and diagnostic reasoning.
- Ensure that you have the appropriate lighting and equipment to record the presentation.
- Present the full case. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; and current psychiatric diagnosis, including differentials that were ruled out.
- Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
- Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their personal and medical history? What are their symptoms of concern? How long have they been experiencing them, and what is the severity? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning?
- Objective: What observations did you make during the interview and review of systems?
- Assessment: What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three (3) possible diagnoses. List them from highest to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis, and why?
- Reflection notes: What would you do differently in a similar patient evaluation? Reflect on one social determinant of health according to the HealthyPeople 2030 (you will need to research) as applied to this case in the realm of psychiatry and mental health. As a future advanced provider, what are one health promotion activity and one patient education consideration for this patient for improving health disparities and inequities in the realm of psychiatry and mental health? Demonstrate your critical thinking.Patient is JM, 38 YEAR OLD WHITE MALE HX ADHD, DEPRESSION, OPIOD ABUSE IN REMISSION ON ADDERALL AND SUBOXONE

Comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Settings - Outline
Thesis Statement: Group, family, and individual CBTs have been discussed, emphasizing
CBT's use, challenges, and credibility of the supporting sources to show how they differ.
I.
Comparing CBT in group, family, and individual settings
A. A group CBT promotes the shared experiences of participants and aims at
achieving normalization and modelling, which is crucial in cases of anxiety and
social disorders.
B. Group CBT for tinnitus had some advantages, especially social reinforcement that
empowered participants to recover, as evident in Lourenco et al. (2023).
II.
Challenges in implementing CBT: family setting
A. Complexity of family dynamics
B. Engagement and retention
III.
Scholarly validation of sources
A. Guo et al. (2021) study is a peer-reviewed meta-analysis based on RCTs that can
be considered reliable and relevant to a wide range of issues in psychiatry as it is
published in Frontiers in Psychiatry.
B. Besides, Samar et al. (2023) study is a systematic review that addresses RCTs and
is published in a well-recognized psychiatry journal to display the overall
assessment and credibility of research concerning CBT with families.

Comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Settings
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) differs depending on whether it is done with
a group, a family, or an individual patient. Each type has its benefits and challenges for
PMHNPs. Group, family, and individual CBTs have been discussed, emphasizing CBT's
use, challenges, and credibility of the supporting sources to show how they differ.
Comparing CBT in Group, Family, and Individual Settings
A group CBT promotes the shared experiences of participants and aims at
achieving normalization and modelling, which is crucial in cases of anxiety and social
disorders. Group CBT for tinnitus had some advantages, especially social reinforcement
that empowered participants to recover, as evident in Lourenco et al. (2023). On the other
hand, some challenges include coordination and ensuring that all participants are active.
Family CBT has been useful for treating anxiety and obsessive-compulsive
disorders in children as it engages the families to avoid reinforcing the behaviors and
enhance communication (Samar et al., 2023). However, it entails working on the goals of
the therapy session while considering family needs, which can be a challenge. Challenges
in this therapy include coordination and mobilizing all family members to participate.
Individual CBT focuses on resolving a client’s distorted thinking patterns and
self-destructive behaviors. In a recent study by Guo et al. (2021), it was found that
individual CBT was much more effective than group CBT, especially for adolescents
with anxiety, due to the focus on the needs of each participant. However, it has some
challenges because social learning and normalization may be more effective in a group
than individual sessions, as evident in the study by Guo et al. (2021).
