Character: James Parker

(Previous paper attached)

These are the decisions used in the previous Simulation, please pick different answer from the ones below.

1. Tell him is an 8 explain why

2. Ask about alternative treatment options

3. Risk having to stay longer

4.Yes ask why it is necessary

5.Do Both

6.Go see a pyschologist

• You will proceed through the simulation as James Parker again, but make different decisions to see the different effects they cause.
• You will then write a 3 page paper describing the process you went through and the results in comparison to last week that you got based on the different decisions you made as James. State how James became addicted and what both the patient and the caregivers could have done to prevent this.
• Provide and integrate at least two scholarly resources within your paper that support prevention of opioid addiction.
•  This paper must be written in APA format, typed in Times New Roman with 12-point font, double-spaced with 1-inch margins.

Assignment: Assessing and Treating Pediatric Clients With Mood Disorders

When pediatric clients present with mood disorders, the process of assessing, diagnosing, and treating them can be quite complex. Children not only present with different signs and symptoms than adult clients with the same disorders, but they also metabolize medications much differently. As a result, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners must exercise caution when prescribing psychotropic medications to these clients. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat pediatric clients presenting with mood disorders.

Note: This Assignment is the first of 10 assignments that are based on interactive client case studies. For these assignments, you will be required to make decisions about how to assess and treat clients. Each of your decisions will have a consequence. Some consequences will be insignificant, and others may be life altering. You are not expected to make the “right” decision every time; in fact, some scenarios may not have a “right” decision. You are, however, expected to learn from each decision you make and demonstrate the ability to weigh risks versus benefits to prescribe appropriate treatments for clients.
