Cultural information is covered throughout the course text and DSM 5. You may use alternative cultural resources to enhance your work.Please review the Sample Vignette Analysis located under ResourcesYour assignment should be 5-6 pages plus a title and reference page.Do not include the vignette in your responsesJane is a 19-year old women. She presents as markedly underweight, with significant agitation. Both of her parents are present for the intake session. Her mother is an attractive Japanese woman of slight build.  Her father is a Latino who appears deeply concerned about his daughter.  Jane is their only child.The parents report that when Jane was 2-years old, she was sexually abused by an older cousin that was diagnosed with autism. While this cousin has not been part of Jane’s life since, this remains a family secret and no legal action was ever taken due to the cousin’s mental illness.  The parents do believe this affected Jane and are hoping to approach this issue and find resolution and healing. They have approached their family doctor who has known Jane all of her life. He suggested that the family seek counseling and consider hospitalization for Jane.Reportedly, Jane has been erratic, impulsive and self-destructive throughout much of her life. Her parents report that Jane suffers from mood swings, angry outbursts and has alienated most of her friends.  She has a history of self-abuse and suicidal ideation.  While Jane has reportedly never made an attempt on her life, her parents have always been cautious and concerned. Jane has a history of cutting her wrists, but the parents report this was superficial and did not require medical attention. Jane denies doing this at present.Jane has also been struggling with anorexia and bulimia since age 12.  They have taken her to doctors and therapists with no success.  In the past few months, Jane has lost a significant amount of weight, is not sleeping and is “talking crazy”.  The parents often find Jane up all night having conversations with herself that make no sense.  Jane’s mother begins to cry as she expresses a fear that her daughter is using drugs and worries that she will overdose and die. At this point, Jane starts wringing her hands and looking around the room and asks if she can be excused to use the restroom.

  1. Formulate a Differential Diagnosis for Jane. Consider what comorbid disorders may exist and what additional information you may need to confirm your diagnostic impression.  Choose one provisional diagnosis for Jane. Support your diagnostic impressions by walking thru the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria (letter by letter) for the proposed diagnosis and match each DSM-5 criterion with vignette content. (See Sample Vignette Analysis located under Resources for guidance)
  2. Choose two (2) theoretical models and explain how each may conceptualize Jane’s clinical presentation. From the perspective of each theoretical model, discuss how you would provide clinical treatment. Integrate vignette content to illuminate your treatment approach.

   How can virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios be designed to provide optimal education? (2 slides)

It can take several hours of game play to learn the mechanics of some games, even longer for the more complex games. If subject matter learning can occur only after this initial game mechanic learning has taken place, educators need to justify the amount of time a learner spends in the game environment. User interaction is important in this type of learning and evaluation of success might be measured by user knowledge enhancement and be able to use that new knowledge in real-life situations.

For this assignment, create a PowerPoint® or Prezi® presentation covering this content:

Design an educational simulation scenario incorporating the use of an electronic health record (EHR) and answer the following questions:

o   Title Slide (1 slide)

o   Which informatics competencies would you focus on and why? (2 slides)

o   What strategies will you use to encourage user engagement and interaction with the simulation? (2 slides)

o   What strategies will you use to measure user knowledge engagement from interaction with the simulation? (2 slides)

o   How can virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios be designed to provide optimal education? (2 slides)

o   How might available resources and technology differ in an urban environment versus a rural environment? (2 slides)

o   How might virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios be integrated into the nursing school curriculum to increase patient, practitioner, and hospital safety? (1 slide)

o   References Slide (1 Slide)

~include an audio explanation (I will do the speaker audio)

~add detailed speaker notes on all content slides

~use at least 5 references.
