Mental Status examination

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

Although the mental status examination (MSE) does not itself yield a diagnosis, it can help a therapist choose an appropriate diagnosis, because certain client characteristics may be consistent with features of some specific disorders. For this discussion, complete the following:

Choose a diagnosis, and research its typical signs and symptoms. You do not need to provide this specific information, but do list your reference at the end of the post. Offer details of a mental status examination that might fit for a person with this diagnosis. For example, a person with a sleep disorder could be expected to be less alert than others and perhaps to have some irritability of mood. Write a 1–2-paragraph client description that portrays the client who has the diagnosis, using information from your research.

Provide a mental status examination, which should be about a paragraph or two in length, covering all of the relevant categories in the checklist provided in this unit’s introduction

Patient Health History and Review of Systems Assignment

 

Paper details:

Patient Health History and Review of Systems Assignment Submit the patient history and the review of systems, focusing on the systems we are studying in this class. The write up should be a 3-5 page summary in APA format of the findings of the complete history and review of systems. Use the headings Patient History, Review of Systems. You should also use subheadings as in the Bickley text. For example, under history, you should use subheadings of Health History, Chief Complaint, etc.

The “Case of Mrs. N” in our Bickley text (p. 17-20) gives an excellent example to use as a reference for this assignment. You will find the “Recording Your Findings” section at the end of each Bickley Chapter very helpful in your documentation for the above assignment. I would suggest using it as your guideline.

Here is a sample paper for your reference: Sample of Patient Health History and Review of Systems.docxPreview the document Patient History Form and Rubric With a patient of your choosing, conduct and document a Patient History, including a Chief Complaint, History of Present Illness, Past Medical and Surgical History, Family History and Personal Social History.

The National Health Insurance Plan

/0 Comments/in /by

This system has elements of both Beveridge and Bismarck. It uses private-sector providers, but payment comes from a government-run insurance program that every citizen pays into. Since there’s no need for marketing, no financial motive to deny claims and no profit, these universal insurance programs tend to be cheaper and much simpler administratively than American-style for-profit insurance. The single payer tends to have considerable market power to negotiate for lower prices; Canada’s system, for example, has negotiated such low prices from pharmaceutical companies that Americans have spurned their own drug stores to buy pills north of the border. National Health Insurance plans also control costs by limiting the medical services they will pay for, or by making patients wait to be treated. The classic NHI system is found in Canada, but some newly industrialized countries — Taiwan and South Korea, for example — have also adopted the NHI model.

Using the ideas of: • Progressive Universalism: expanding coverage while ensuring that the poor and vulnerable are not left behind; • Strategic Purchasing: expanding the statutory benefits package and developing incentives for its effective delivery by health-care providers; • Raising revenues to finance health care in fiscally sustainable ways; • Improving the availability and quality of health-care providers; and, • Strengthening accountability to ensure the fulfillment of promises made between citizens, governments and health institutions, COMPARE AND CONTRAST the countries that use the National Health Insurance Plan in their ability to expand health coverage across their population; provide the health services offered; and provide affordable care for both the people (pro-poor reform) and the country (financial solvency and sustainability)
