For this week utilize the tool listed above to complete the assignment.
Overview
As you will learn throughout the program, the diagnosis of a variety of psychiatric illnesses is not always an easy or straightforward process. Multiple observations and assessment methods are often employed to reach a diagnosis. This approach can include the use of standardized assessment instruments. This then aids you in defining a treatment plan and choosing specific treatment plans to use in the care of your clients.
You are tasked with
identifying a standardized assessment instrument/tool to measure the disorders listed for each week. You will keep these instruments in the form of a “portfolio” that you can use in your clinical practice to assess clients who present with a variety of symptoms.
Instructions:
Instrument/ Tool criteria:
For each assessment, you are tasked with selecting, you will identify an instrument and:
1. List what
DSM diagnosis the tool/instrument is used for.
2.
Identify an assessment/diagnosis instrument.
3. Appraise a scholarly, peer-reviewed article that addresses the use of the instrument to support your choice as an evidence-based instrument for practice.
4. Evaluate the instrument’s appropriateness for diagnosing the condition it is designed to assess or if the developers of the instrument reported that the instrument is only part of a comprehensive assessment for the disorder.
5. Describe whether or not the instrument can be used to measure patient response to therapy/treatment or if it is strictly for assessment and diagnosis.
6. Discuss the psychometrics/scoring of the instrument, including reliability and validity.
7. Discuss any limitations associated with the use of the instrument.
8. Include a link to view the assessment if possible.
Use the following template in completing your portfolio assignments. Your information can be in a bulleted format or just a couple of sentences for each criterion listed above. However, you must use APA citations. You are NOT required to write this in a paper format. Turn in one document for each week’s topics. (However, create a file on your desktop to compile your portfolio as you move through the term.) This will ensure you can have easy access to show the full portfolio and once you begin clinicals and practice. Throughout the program, you will continue to add to the portfolio in each course.
Anxiety and Related Disorders
Week 4
DSM: Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Instrument: Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2
(GAD-2)
Article: Validation and Standardization of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener (GAD-7)
in the General Population. Medical Care
Appropriateness for Dx: The GAD-7 and GAD-2 is screening tools for initial assessment for
mental health screening. The screening is the process used by healthcare provider to assess the
need to further evaluate for anxiety disorders. This helps determine the need for further
questioning on the anxiety the individual may be experiencing.
Response to Therapy/Treatment: This screening is effective for self-reporting of anxiety for
the healthcare provider. The evidence supports the validity and reliability of the GAD-7 and
GAD-2 for screening for anxiety disorders (Löwe et al., 2008).
Assessment Instruments
Psychometrics: The questionnaire is a self-reporting tool used for the individual to report any
problematic areas dealing with anxiety. The screening tool has 7 questions in the GAD-7 and the
shorter briefer questionnaire has 2 questions. The questionnaire asks the individual “Over the last
2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?”. Then list 7 different
items relating to anxiety and the GAD-2 is the same just stops after question 2. The is effective
screening tool to help see the problem areas. The individual has several different choices to
provide feedback. It is on a scaled system to calculate a score. For example, the first choice “0”
has the words “not at all” and the last choice is “nearly every day” with the score of “+3”. The
calculated score at the end is broke down by minimal, mild, moderate, severe anxiety based on
the scoring.
Limitations:
Limitations: The limitations on the screening tool is the individual answering truthfully or to the
best of their ability. The assessment and further evaluation by the healthcare provider is
necessary for validation of the diagnosis.

Assessment 1 Nursing Informatics in Health Care
Assessment 1
Nursing Informatics in Health Care
Write a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the need for a nurse informaticist in an organization who would focus on improving health care outcomes.
Introduction
Nurses at the baccalaureate level in all practice areas are involved in nursing informatics through interaction with information management and patient care technologies. Nurses must not only demonstrate knowledge of and skills in health information and patient care technologies, but also how to use these tools at the bedside and organizational levels. Moreover, nurses need to recognize how information gathered from various health information sources can impact decision making at the national and state regulatory levels.
Preparation
To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory activities:
Review assessment resources and activities.
Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to interact with health information and patient care technology.
Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles, professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wikis, job boards, and so on.
Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and authoritative sources.
Interview peers in your network who are considered information technology experts.
Ask them about how information technology advances are impacting patient care at the bedside, at the organizational level, and beyond.
Scenario
For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on her role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in her workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization.
You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting. This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position.
One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization.
Proposal Format
The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the following headings in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading:
Nursing Informatics and the Nurse Informaticist
What is nursing informatics?
What is the role of the nurse informaticist?
Nurse Informaticists and Other Health Care Organizations
What is the experience of other health care organizations with nurse informaticists?
How do these nurse informaticists interact with the rest of the nursing staff and the interdisciplinary team?
Impact of Full Nurse Engagement in Health Care Technology
How does fully engaging nurses in health care technology impact:
Patient care?
Protected health information (security, privacy, and confidentiality)?
In this section, you will explain evidence-based strategies that the nurse informaticist and interdisciplinary team can use to effectively manage patients' protected health information, particularly privacy, security, and confidentiality. Evidence-based means that they are supported by evidence from scholarly sources.
Workflow?
Costs and return on investment?
Opportunities and Challenges
What are the opportunities and challenges for nurses and the interdisciplinary team with the addition of a nurse informaticist role?
How can the interdisciplinary team collaborate to improve quality care outcomes through technology?
Summary of Recommendations
What are 3–4 key takeaways from your proposal about the recommended nurse informaticist role that you want the CNO and the HR manager to remember?
This is the section where the justification for the implementation of the nursing informaticist role is addressed. Remember to include eviden
ce from the literature to support your recommendation.
