Essential diagnostics encompass blood chemistries, hepatic and renal studies, thyroid function tests, complete blood count, syphilis, HIV screening, and substance testing. Imaging like CT or MRI aids in ruling out structural causes. Additional tests like EEG and heavy metal panels may be indicated. Hospitalization referral is necessary for exacerbations of negative or psychotic symptoms and increased agitation. Positive symptoms should persist for at least 1 Schizophrenia Diagnosis: month, with social and occupational dysfunction for 6 months. Psychiatric differentials include bipolar disorder and severe depression with psychotic features, distinguished by the temporal relationship between mood disturbance and delusions. Substance use disorders are common in schizophrenia. In older adults, acute illnesses like UTIs and dementia can mimic psychosis. NP nurses must understand diagnostic pathways, including medical, psychiatric, and substancerelated factors, ensuring comprehensive care for patients. Medications such as antipsychotics (e.g., risperidone, olanzapine) are fundamental in managing symptoms. Anxiety Disorders necessitate immediate referral to the emergency room for individuals posing a risk to themselves or others. These disorders, affecting a third of the population during their lifetime, manifest through excessive and persistent worry, fear, and disabling anxiety. Women are more susceptible than men, with various disorders emerging at different life stages. The DSM-5 classifies anxiety disorders into several categories including Separation Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Neurobiologically, anxiety involves the amygdala, HPA axis, and neurotransmitter systems like serotonin and GABA. Gene- Anxiety Symptoms: environment interactions also contribute to vulnerability. In clinical practice, anxiety disorders present with physical symptoms alongside psychological distress, often leading individuals to seek help in primary care settings. Generalized Anxiety Disorder, marked by persistent worry and associated symptoms, typifies chronicity. Specific Phobias, Panic Disorder, and OCD entail distinct symptomatology and impairment. The DSM-5 revisions emphasize the categorization and diagnosis of anxiety-related conditions, facilitating more accurate assessment and intervention by healthcare providers, including nurse practitioners, who play a vital role in recognizing, diagnosing, and managing anxiety disorders, integrating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for optimal patient outcomes. https://quizlet.com/861496859/flash-cards/ 1/20 2/18/24, 9:05 PM D118 Flashcards | Quizlet Unipolar Depression, a prevalent mental health condition, often goes undiagnosed due to patients' reluctance to report symptoms and the primary responsibility of primary care providers to identify and manage it. Left untreated, depression can lead to severe complications including coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, stroke, and even suicidal ideations. Recognizing its signs such as persistent sadness, disinterest, and changes in weight is crucial. Screening tools like the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) aid in diagnosis, especially in primary care settings where depression is frequently encountered. Risk factors for depression encompass various life circumstances like chronic illness, Unipolar Depression Symptoms: stress, and substance use. Specific considerations for older adults include the use of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) alongside the PHQ-2 and PHQ-9. Beyond screening, a comprehensive patient history and physical examination, coupled with a trusting patient-provider relationship, help in evaluating depressive symptoms and suicidal tendencies. Nurse practitioners must assess suicidal risk diligently, considering factors such as thoughts of suicide, plans, means, and intentions. Any recent life changes or stressors warrant heightened vigilance for depression. Effective management involves not only medication but also lifestyle modifications and psychotherapy, emphasizing the importance of holistic care in addressing this pervasive condition. - Patients pose a risk of self-harm or harm to others. - Symptom severity significantly compromises patient well-being. - Symptoms indicate serotonin syndrome, withdrawal, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, or lithium toxicity. - Uncertainty persists regarding patient risks. Urgent intervention is necessary within a week if: Referral Guidelines for Mental Health Specialists: - High suicide risk exists, but the patient is presently safe. Immediate intervention is warranted if: - Coexisting psychiatric conditions, like substance use disorders, are present. - Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is indicated. Follow-up with a specialist is needed within a month if: - Symptoms persist despite initial treatment. - Medication management issues require frequent monitoring. - Dementia is concurrent. - Psychotherapy, family education, or group support could benefit the patient. Substance Use Disorders require immediate attention and referral for specific conditions. Withdrawal seizures, often from benzodiazepine or alcohol cessation, necessitate urgent intervention. Delirium tremens, characterized by severe symptoms such as tachycardia, tremors, hallucinations, and seizures, emerges 72-96 hours postalcohol cessation. Overdose, especially opioids, manifests as unresponsiveness, pinpoint pupils, and respiratory depression, mandating naloxone administration and Substance Use Referral: supervised observation. Any substance ingestion leading to unstable vital signs mandates ER referral. Suicidality, homicidality, and psychosis, common in substance use disorders, demand prompt stabilization. Patients seeking treatment for moderate to severe substance use disorders warrant immediate referral for evidence-based pharmacotherapy, including medications like naloxone, and initiation without delay. Primary care providers should offer pharmacotherapy for alcohol and opioid use disorders promptly. Nurse practitioners should be vigilant for these conditions and act swiftly to ensure patient safety and treatment initiation. https://quizlet.com/861496859/flash-cards/ 2/20 2/18/24, 9:05 PM D118 Flashcards | Quizlet Chronic pancreatitis, marked by pancreatic inflammation, leads to permanent exocrine and endocrine insufficiency, contrasting with acute pancreatitis. Major causes include alcoholism, duct obstruction, genetic mutations, autoimmune factors, and idiopathic origins. Alcohol misuse triggers 50-70% of cases, with duration and volume influencing risk. Hereditary factors, including mutations in PRSS-1, SPINK, and CFTR genes, play a role. Notably, recurrent acute pancreatitis or unexplained chronic cases should prompt Chronic Pancreatitis Symptoms: genetic testing. Clinical signs include epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss, worsened by fatty foods and alcohol. Malabsorption symptoms like diarrhea and steatorrhea suggest advanced disease. Glucose intolerance often precedes diabetes onset. Physical exams may show little beyond abdominal tenderness or weight loss. Severe complications, including pancreatic cancer, can arise. Marseilles-Rome classification categorizes the condition by morphology, epidemiology, and molecular biology, aiding diagnosis and management. Early detection and intervention are crucial in reducing mortality rates. Interprofessional collaboration is essential in managing Bell palsy. Specialists should be consulted for cases presenting atypically, during pregnancy, or showing signs of corneal abrasion. Additionally, persistent facial weakness beyond two weeks or when surgery or botulinum toxin injections are being considered warrants specialist input. Protecting the eye is crucial to prevent blindness, with measures such as using protective eyewear, moisture chambers, and careful eyelid taping. While surgical decompression is rarely necessary due to high recovery rates with steroids, it may be Bell's Palsy Treatment: considered in specific cases. Pharmacologically, corticosteroids should be initiated within 72 hours of onset, with antivirals offering modest benefits. Lubricating eye drops help maintain eye moisture, and pain management includes acetaminophen or NSAIDs if not contraindicated. Referral criteria encompass various scenarios, including ocular symptoms, suspected CNS involvement, and persistent paralysis, ensuring appropriate management and care for patients. Education plays a vital role in informing patients about potential complications, eye protection, medication management, and rehabilitation exercises for optimal recovery. CHAPTER 178 Ce Vigilance is crucial for patients presenting with fever, headache, stiff neck, and altered mental status, warranting immediate referral to an experienced healthcare provider for suspected central nervous system (CNS) infections. These infections, encompassing meningitis and encephalitis, stem from various pathogens and exhibit significant morbidity and mortality rates, with bacterial meningitis posing particular urgency. While Infections of the central nervous system Symptoms bacterial meningitis primarily affects infants and older adults, encephalitis, commonly caused by herpesviruses, arboviruses, and enteroviruses, is increasingly observed due to immunocompromised states. Diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion, noting agespecific pathogen prevalence. Risk factors for bacterial meningitis include diverse medical conditions and recent travel. Pathophysiology involves bacterial entry into cerebrospinal fluid, triggering inflammatory responses leading to cerebral complications. Clinical presentation varies widely, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive physical exam to distinguish these serious conditions promptly. https://quizlet.com/861496859/flash-cards/ 3/20 2/18/24, 9:05 PM D118 Flashcards | Quizlet Immediate referral to the emergency department is crucial for patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia and associated complications like chest pain, respiratory distress, or rhabdomyolysis. Lipid disorders, significant risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), affect a majority of adults in the United States. Lowering LDL-C, primarily with statins, remains a primary focus for ASCVD prevention. Lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, are pivotal in managing dyslipidemia. chronic lipid disorders Symptoms: Lipoproteins, such as LDL and HDL, play key roles in ASCVD development. Lifestyle modifications, such as increased physical activity and improved nutrition, contribute to better lipid profiles and reduced ASCVD risk. Lipid disorders arise from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. A comprehensive evaluation, including medical history and physical examination, is essential for diagnosing and managing lipid disorders and ASCVD risk effectively. Detection of xanthomas or corneal arcus may indicate severe dyslipidemia and prompt further evaluation. Normocytic anemia, specifically Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD), is typically mild to moderate and commonly arises from inflammatory conditions, infections, or malignancies. It often manifests as normocytic, normochromic RBCs with hemoglobin levels usually above 9 g/dL. ACD has a gradual onset and is prevalent among older hospitalized patients. Its pathophysiology involves low serum iron levels despite normal Normocytic Anemia Symptoms: or elevated iron stores, often due to increased hepcidin levels inhibiting iron transport. Another mechanism, ACKD, implicates relative erythropoietin deficiency, where erythropoietin response to anemia may be blunted. Symptoms of ACD are usually mild and related to underlying diseases rather than the anemia itself, including fatigue, pallor, tachycardia, and dyspnea upon exertion.
