These are the complete instructions for the assignment. A rich picture represents an illustration of ill-defined problems by drawing detailed representations of them. A rich picture is a model that represents the organization’s components and relationships to discover appropriate solutions. A drawing can evoke and record insights and impressions of a situation and is usually conducted before you know clearly which parts of the situation should be regarded as part of the problem. The representation should showcase cause-and-effect scenarios, relationships, connections, and influences. A rich picture is an attempt to capture everything that might be relevant to a complicated situation.

What are the organization’s sources of competitive advantage? Has the organization approached strategic management (i.e., market participation, market entry modes, location and configuration of specific functional/value chain activities, etc.) in a way that leverages its competitive advantage and/or potential for success?

1. How would you attempt to build trust during the initial phase of group? What factors do you think are likely to lead to trust? What would it take for you to feel a sense of trust in a group? What do you see as the major barriers to the development of trust?

2. Think about how the characteristics described in the initial stage of group that were depicted in the video. What are the members anxious about, and how safe did most of them feel from the very beginning? What early concerns did the members voice?

All this makes me want to retreat. I’m afraid to say much because I’d rather hear positive feedback.”

6. What are the major differences between a working and a nonworking group? Between a working and a nonworking member?

7. What would you want to teach members during the working stage about giving and receiving feedback?

Discussion: Decision Making When Treating Psychological Disorders

Discussion: Comparing and Contrasting Pharmacologic Options for the Treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Psychological disorders, such as depression, bipolar, and anxiety disorders can present several complications for patients of all ages. These disorders affect patients physically and emotionally, potentially impacting judgment, school and/or job performance, and relationships with family and friends. Since these disorders have many drastic effects on patients’ lives, it is important for advanced practice nurses to effectively manage patient care. With patient factors and medical history in mind, it is the advanced practice nurse’s responsibility to ensure the safe and effective diagnosis, treatment, and education of patients with psychological disorders.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a psychological condition that affects 6.1 million Americans, or 3.1% of the US Population. Despite several treatment options, only 43.2% of those suffering from GAD receive treatment. This week you will review several different classes of medication used in the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. You will examine potential impacts of pharmacotherapeutics used in the treatment of GAD. Please focus your assignment on FDA approved indications when referring to different medication classes used in the treatment of GAD.

To Prepare
Review the Resources for this module and consider the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
Reflect on your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practices from the last 5 years and think about how pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors altered his or her anticipated response to a drug.
Consider factors that might have influenced the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes, such as genetics (including pharmacogenetics), gender, ethnicity, age, behavior, and/or possible pathophysiological changes due to disease.
Think about a personalized plan of care based on these influencing factors and patient history with GAD.

Pharmacology for Psychological Disorders
How does an advanced practice nurse determine the best treatment option or pharmacotherapeutic to recommend for patients with psychological disorders?

Much like assessing or recommending pharmacotherapeutics for other conditions or disorders, as an advanced practice nurse, you may encounter a patient who presents with a psychological disorder. Understanding the guiding principles related to treating patients with psychological disorders as well as the effects of pharmacotherapeutics on a patient’s overall health and well-being is critical for the safe and effective delivery of care.

This week, you examine types of drugs prescribed to patients with psychological disorders. You also examine potential impacts of pharmacotherapeutics used to treat psychological disorders on a patient’s pathophysiology.

Learning Objectives
Students will:

Evaluate patients for treatment of psychological disorders.
Analyze decisions made throughout the diagnosis and treatment of patients with psychological disorders.
Analyze impacts of pharmacotherapeutics for psychological disorders on patient pathophysiology.
Evaluate patients for treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.
Analyze decisions made throughout the diagnosis and treatment of patients with generalized anxiety disorder.
