/in /by

Directions:  Read the attached case studies and based on the information learned in this module regarding the adolescent population identify things you would want to assess for and write at least two questions you would use with this population.de

Referring entity: Danielle was referred by her school guidance counselor after they have witnessed truant behavior, a change in her overall attitude, and a significant drop in her grades.  The counselor states it is like she changed overnight.  While they have not witnessed Danielle with drugs, the school expresses concerns because she recently started hanging out with other kids who they have caught with drugs on campus.  The referral request that Danielle receive a substance abuse screening to determine what may be causing the significant shift in her performance and attitude.  At this time Danielle who was a straight A student is at risk of failing the 7th grade if things do not change soon.

Intake information:  Danielle was brought to you by her mother for the screening.  The client’s mother reports a change in Danielle’s behaviors, however does not feel that it is anything more than teenage angst.  It is reported that Danielle’s father has never been a part of her life and she has no other siblings.  The mother does report Danielle being home alone in the afternoon/evening as she has to work to make sure that food is put on the table.  When directly asked about substance use Danielle denies any use and states that school is just upset because she actually has friends now and they don’t like it.  A drug screen was performed with the child’s permission and she did not test positive for anything, however appear visible lethargic, slurring words, and to be under the influence of something at the time of the interview.  Knowing substances that may be commonly utilized by adolescents what is your thought about Danielle presenting and list two questions you might use to test your hypothesis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Case Scenario 2

Client’s name:  Timothy Johnson

Client’s age: 16 years old and recently dropped out of school.

Referring entity:  Timothy was referred by the Department of Juvenile Justice intake specialist for a substance abuse and mental health assessment.  Timothy was apprehended and charged with larceny.  At the time of his arrest Timothy was drug screened and tested positive for marijuana and alcohol.  The referral also notes that Timothy has displayed truant behavior in school over the past year and when he turned 16 dropped out.

Intake information:  Timothy arrives for the assessment without his parents, when questions regarding this he stated that they are not really a part of his life and that they have bigger things to worry about.  Knowing that 42CFR allows for minor to consent for treatment you continue with the assessment process.  Timothy is defiant and does not understand why marijuana and alcohol are such a big deal, “everyone does them.”  He states that his only regret is that he did not get away with his crime this time.  Timothy’s appearance is disheveled, he is dressed in ragged dirty cloths, pupils are constricted, and his speech is somewhat slurred.  When you drug test him, he claims that he will be clean, however he actually tested positive for marijuana and opiates.  1) What do you believe are some of the attitudinal barriers you might face in working with Timothy?  2) Identify at least two questions you would use during the assessment process?

Outline in brief the main aim of safety pharmacology, and the differences between safety predictions driven by in vitro mechanistic profiling vs in vivo toxicity pre-clinical testing

/in /by

Prepare a report with the following content

• Outline in brief the main aim of safety pharmacology, and the differences between safety predictions driven by in vitro mechanistic profiling vs in vivo toxicity pre-clinical testing (e.g. describe strengths and limitations of each approach).

• Present the data from the analysis, appropriately labelled with descriptive legends and some descriptive text.

• The modulation of some drug targets is highly predictive of clinical toxicity. Using the safety pharmacology concepts taught in the lectures, discuss why one compound will likely be safer than the other. Support your prediction using published literature on the two drugs.

This is a case study report, not a practical report so there is no need to have a methods section. You are expected to use and cite references where appropriate and to append a reference list which is not included in the 1000-word limit.

Discuss and reflect on the full hearing aid fitting appointment and the follow up

/in /by

The purpose of this case study report is to demonstrate your grasp of the application of theory to clinical practice by demonstrating an understanding of evidence-based practice and providing a critical discussion of the relevant research evidence to this case. You will be required to discuss and reflect on the full hearing aid fitting appointment and the follow up and should include issues that were apparent or relevant to this case and discuss these with reference to relevant research/literature. You may wish to include diagrams to illustrate your points and provide material for consideration. The material presented must reflect accurately the assessment and interventions carried out with the relevant client/patient.
Introduction
Summarise your case report. Mention why this is a complex case in relation to the fitting and/or follow up, and why your case report is important eg as a differential to consider in a patient presenting with X, Y and Z.
Case report
Narrate your case in a way that is easy and enjoyable to follow. The general approach is to describe the history, findings, investigations and treatment in that order. Avoid any unnecessary details, and make sure you mention the important positive and negative findings from each part of the appointment. Try and include one or two images to keep the reader engaged these might be REM tube positioning, hearing aid performance measures through the HIT Box or your verification processes (REM or Manual REM). You should also consider including your client or patients audiogram to build the picture.
Discussion and Reflection
This is the selling point of your case report, as a well-written argument will convince a journal that your case report is worthy of publication. Start by briefly expanding on your introduction, explaining why your particular case is important, and of interest to the reader.
Next, sum up the current literature related to your case. Describe what has already been reported about your topic, and what the main hypotheses and theories are that explain the clinical findings. Remember that reviewers will be looking for evidence that your case is complex.
Finally, describe in detail the message that you are conveying through your report. This may be in line with current thinking, or even contrary to popular belief! Focus on the lessons that should be learnt from your experience, and how this affects future clinical practice.
Summary points
Some journals will ask for a brief conclusion, or summary of learning points. You should succinctly summarise the key messages of your case report in three or four bullet points.
**Client Confidentiality**
Anonymised data must be used throughout the case study and there should be no identifiable information in relation to the client or service i.e. you need to change any names and identifying information and make it clear that this has been done.
Your work should be fully referenced in line with the Harvard style guide and Cite them Right.
