        Explain the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of  psychopharmacologic agents, including how partial and inverse agonist  functionality may impact the efficacy of psychopharmacologic treatments.

Neurotransmitters and some drugs that stimulate receptors are  called agonists. Agonists stimulate receptors to their fullest signal  transduction. Drugs that act as agonists are useful in patients who lack  or are deficient in agonist neurotransmitters. In situations where the  actions of a full agonist or partial agonists are undesirable, an  antagonist is required to revert the receptor back to the state where no  agonist exists, back to neutral. Partial agonists act as they sound,  and produce a conformational change of a receptor that is halfway  between the changes of a full agonist and the baseline conformation of  that receptor. An antagonist can also reverse the effects of inverse  agonists to the receptors baseline. An inverse agonist acts to change  the conformation of a receptor to completely inactivate it and remove  the baseline constitutive activity. 

Compare and contrast the actions of g coupled proteins and ion gated channels.

Both G protein coupled receptors and Ion gated channels are a  form of signal transduction cascades in the brain. They are both  triggered by neurotransmitters, and many of the psychotropic drugs used  today affect one of these two cascades. They both perform when an  extracellular first messenger passes a message to an intracellular  second messenger. However, G protein’s second messenger is a chemical,  such as adenosine monophosphate, while the ion channel second messenger  can be an ion, such as calcium. There are two classes of ion channels,  Ligand gated and voltage sensitive ion channels. The ligand gated ion  channels act similar to g protein receptors because they use the agonist  spectrum. Voltage sensitive ion channels are opened and closed based on  the voltage charge across the membrane.

Explain how the role of epigenetics may contribute to pharmacologic action.

Epigenetics determines if inherited genes are expressed or not  expressed into proteins that make up the story of any one person. The  mechanism of epigenetics turns genes on or off by modifying chromatin.  These modifications are regulated by neurotransmitters, drugs and the  environment. So drugs introduced to patients can affect a person’s  epigenetics.

Explain how this information may impact the way you prescribe  medications to patients. Include a specific example of a situation or  case with a patient in which the psychiatric mental health nurse  practitioner must be aware of the medication’s action.

Understanding the way medications will affect patients based on  their genetic makeup, their current medications, the condition being  treated, what causes the imbalance, is all important when prescribing  medications. For example imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant,  inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, elevating these  neurotransmitters in the brain. It is important to understand if this is  the cause of the patients depression before prescribing this medication  because if incorrectly prescribed it could alter the patients  epigenetic mechanisms in an inverse way (Boks, et al. 2012).

Healthcare statistics dp 2

 Your new staff was very interested to learn about the many online federal and state health care databases and the different types of statistical information available in each database. Like other health care organizations, Choice Hospital wants to maintain its financial stability and improve the quality of patient care. The new CEO of Choice Hospital would like to gain a better understanding of utilization rates and other measures of performance that can be used to track and demonstrate quality improvement. As the HCA, you and your team are asked to conduct preliminary research in the following areas:

  • Identify databases for statistical information on the utilization rates and other measures of quality performance (e.g., average length of stay [ALOS], patient wait times, and death rates) and select a healthcare statistic. 
  • Define your chosen healthcare statistic and explain how it was calculated. 
  • Explain to your staff the purpose of research questions and how the data obtained from research questions are used for informed decision-making.
  • Describe hypothesis testing and how it is used in research.
  • Formulate a hypothesis related to your chosen healthcare statistic.

NURSING

Introduction

Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement Note: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video. Your assessment will reflect on either a professional collaboration you experienced or a collaboration case study scenario that you imagine you experienced
