Discussion Question 1
GF is a forty-one-year-old woman who arrives for her first visit
at the clinic. She reports that she has been feeling sad and depressed, with
crying spells, trouble sleeping, increased appetite, impaired concentration,
and fatigue. She has experienced depression in the past but was able to
overcome the symptoms without medication. Upon physical exam, she appears to be
poorly groomed and with minimal facial expression. She is slow to respond to
questions. She admits to being very anxious and worried about “everything.” She
denies any current suicidal ideation. However, she expresses concerns about the
future and that it may not be an improvement. She has tried over-the-counter
medications to help with sleep, but they have not been effective. Answer the
following questions:
What additional information would you like before making a
decision about what to do with GF?
What approach would you suggest for this patient? Which of her
symptoms would concern you and require intervention?
Does she need to be referred to another provider, or can she be
managed in a primary care setting?
Are there any nonpharmacological strategies that might be
appropriate for her?
For medications, include dosages and schedules. Include
highlights of patient teaching and/or lifestyle alterations. Support your
decisions with at least one reference to a published clinical guideline and one
peer-reviewed publication.
Discussion Question 2
ST is a twenty-five-year-old male who presents to the clinic
with a major complaint of insomnia. He has been experiencing problems sleeping
for the past month. He has been “borrowing” medication from his mother and friends,
such as diazepam and alprazolam, and he finds that these are helpful in
allowing him to sleep. He was also diagnosed with asthma at the age of ten. He
has been using an inhaler, as needed, but he cannot recall the name of the
inhaler. He is currently working part-time through a temporary agency, and he
has not been able to find any full-time work. Answer the following questions:
What additional information would you like to obtain from ST?
What are the possible strategies you can use to help him with
the insomnia?
