Preparing the Assignment

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

Include the Following Sections:

1. Application of Course Knowledge: Use the mental health disorder assigned to you by your course faculty (via email) and create a case study for a primary care client. You may use a client seen in practicum as the basis for the case study or you may create a case after researching your assigned disorder. In your initial post, address each of the following components using your own words: a. Subjective data: chief complaint, history of present illness, demographic data, risk factors, previous medical, surgical, and psychiatric history b. Objective data: Physical exam findings and mental status exam c. Recommended diagnostic tests
2. Engagement in Meaningful Dialogue
   1. Responding to a Peer’s Case: Respond to at least one other student’s initial case presentation and include the following:
      • Based on the initial case presentation, list your top three differential diagnoses.
      • Choose the most likely diagnosis.
      • Support your decision with scholarly sources that represent a logical link between the case study and article information. Integrate relevant scholarly sources as defined by program expectations (https://mychamberlain.sharepoint.com/sites/StudentResourceCenter/Shared%20Do id=%2Fsites%2FStudentResourceCenter%2FShared%20Documents%2FProgram%20.
      • Respond to a peer who does not already have a peer response in the discussion.

1. 1. Leading the Discussion/Final Diagnosis: Respond to peers and course faculty to further dialogue:
      • Present the actual diagnosis for your case study. Provide appropriate management options for the diagnosis.
      • Use the most current clinical practice guidelines to support your management plan.

• • • Respond to all students who engage with your case study. Discuss how the peer’s differential diagnoses do or do not fit with the case as presented.

• • • Respond to all faculty questions.

3. Professionalism in Communication: Communicate with minimal errors in English grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation.

• • Present information in a logical, meaningful, and understandable sequence that is relevant to the discussion topic.
  • Good writing calls for the limited use of direct quotes. Direct quotes in discussions are to be limited to one short quotation (not to exceed 10 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion.

4. Reference Citation: Use current APA format to format citations and references and is free of errors.

5. Tuesday Participation Requirement: Provide a substantive response to the graded discussion topic (not a response to a peer or faculty), by Tuesday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week.

6. Total Participation Requirement: Provide at least three substantive posts (one to the initial question or topic, one to a student peer, and one to a faculty question) on two different days during the week.
