Mental Health Seminar

/in /by

Mental Health Seminar (40%] The purpose of this assignment is to provide an opportunity for students to explore mental health implications for a priority population. Consider how we can apply what we have learned in this course to provide strengths-based, recovery-oriented nursing care. In some cases, people considered under the umbrella of priority populations face higher risk of mental health problems and illness due to work environments, their age and stage of development or a disproportionate fear of stigma and negative attitudes. A priority population are those who are at risk for health inequities or have been subject to social exclusion, stigma, discrimination, and social injustice. Consider race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, poverty, housing, and other determinants of health. Notice the impact of intersectionality. For some of you, this will be new information and for others it will be opportunity to build on what you already know. Yet for others, you may understand deeply based on your lived experiences. I ask that as a group, we hold space for each other as we explore these issues. Part 1: Power Point – 25 points Due: Week 5: See Schedule at a Glance for due date *You must submit in 2 places — the dropbox AND Discussion #3 Synthesize concepts you have learned throughout this course to create a power point presentation to explore mental health implications for a priority population of your choice. Priority populations may include Indigenous persons, persons of color, immigrants, differently- abled persons, trauma survivor, persons living in poverty/food insecurity, older adults. single parent, homeless persons, refugees, transgender persons, LBGTQZ+ persons, adolescent parent, persons living with schizophrenia, or incarcerated persons. If you want to present on a priority population not listed here, please contact the course instructor to approve. Content to include in power point 1. Introduction 2.

CASE STUDY 15.2

An 80-year-old man presents to the emergency department (ED) complaining of right-sided chest pain when he breathes and a productive cough. A sputum sample collected from the patient revealed rust-colored sputum. He also states that his symptoms began abruptly with chills the day before this visit to the ED; he had previously been healthy. Examination by the physician identifies coarse breathing sounds in the right anterior chest. A chest radiograph shows a right-upper-lobe infiltration. The patient currently has a fever of 102°F. Blood is drawn for a CBC. The sputum sample is Gram-stained and cultured.

Laboratory data follows:

Complete Blood Count

Hemoglobin: 14.5 g/dL (normal)

White blood count: Elevated

Differential: 90% neutrophils (normal range 25% to 60%)

Sputum

Gram stain: Gram-positive lancet-shaped diplococci (cocci in pairs)

Culture report: Streptococcus pneumoniae

The diagnosis is pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae.

Multiple Choice Questions

1. The observation of which cells on the Gram-stained smear will assure the laboratory that a sputum specimen has been collected and tested?

a. Greater than 10 squamous epithelial cells per low-power field (10x)

b. Fewer than 10 squamous epithelial cells per low-power field (10x)

c. Greater than 10 columnar epithelial cells per low-power field (10x)

d. Greater than 10 gram-positive diplococci per low-power field (10x)

ANS: b. Fewer than 10 squamous epithelial cells per low-power field (10x)

 

2. What characteristics of this patient would coincide with pneumonia caused by this organism?

a. The patient is otherwise healthy.

b. The patient is most likely a smoker.

c. The patient is an older adult.

d. The patient is likely not providing all the details.

ANS: c. The patient is an older adult.
