Answer the questions below based on the following case study.

A 26-year-old woman presented to the clinic after her cleaning rituals had so exhausted her that she had given up and could now enter only two of the five rooms in her home. For more than a year she has worried that if her house is not sufficiently clean, her 3-year-old son will become ill and could die. Having touched a surface she has to disinfect it repeatedly – a procedure performed in a particular way and taking several hours. In addition, she repetitively washes her hands and sterilizes all the crockery and cutlery before eating. She realizes that she is ‘going over the top’, but she cannot stop thinking that items may have germs on them. This leads to disabling anxiety and fear for her son’s health, which she can only resolve by cleaning. This helps temporarily, but soon the thoughts return again.

  1. Summarize the clinical case.
  2. What is the DSM 5-TR diagnosis based on the information provided in the case?
  3. Which pharmacological treatment would you prescribe according to the clinical guidelines? Include the rationale for this treatment.
  4. Which non-pharmacological treatment would you prescribe according to the clinical guidelines? Include the rationale for this treatment excluding a psychotherapeutic modality.
  5. Include an assessment of the treatment’s appropriateness, cost, effectiveness, safety, and potential for patient adherence to the chosen medication. Use a local pharmacy to research the cost of the medication and provide the most cost-effective choice for the patient. Use great detail when answering questions 3-5.

Submission Instructions:

  • Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in the current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.  Your initial post is worth 8 points.
  • You should respond to at least two of your peers by extending, refuting/correcting, or adding additional nuance to their posts. Your reply posts are worth 2 points (1 point per response.) 
  • All replies must be constructive and use literature where possible.
  • Please post your initial response by 11:59 PM ET Thursday, and comment on the posts of two classmates by 11:59 PM ET Sunday.

Transportation

This major airline had a rocky road at its start. Incorporated in 1967, it never actually started flying planes until June of 1971 because of lengthy legal challenges by other major airlines. When it finally started services between Dallas and Houston and Dallas and San Antonio, it used three Boeing 737 aircraft and offered $20 one-way fares. Soon, the company introduced a $10 “night fare” and several other attractive schemes. In 1973, it ended the year with its first profits since starting operations and began developing a loyal customer base.

By the 1990s, this airline had become well-established as a major passenger carrier with popular campaigns that focused on families such as the “Family Fare.” By 2000, the company had moved up to number two on this famous list and had expanded its rewards program for customers. Beyond that, as the decade progressed and moved into the second decade of this century, this airline instituted a number of other discount flight initiatives that encouraged air travel and expanded its customer reach.

Assignment Details

Answer the following questions :

  1. Based on what you read here and learned on the airline’s Web site, what are the company’s strengths related to customer service?
  2. Would you fly this airline, if you have not already? Why or why not?
  3. As a current or potential customer of the airline, what would you expect as a service experience from the airline?

Public health interventions (population-based)

Public health interventions, defined
Interventions are actions that public health nurses take on behalf of individuals/families, communities, and systems,
to improve or protect health status (Minnesota Department of Health, 2001, p. 1).

 Surveillance is “an ongoing, systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of health-related data essential to
the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice” (World Health Organization, 2018).

 Disease and health event investigation systematically gathers and analyzes data regarding threats to the health
of populations, ascertains the source of the threat, identifies cases and others at risk, and determines control
measures.

 Outreach locates populations of interest or populations at risk and provides information about the nature of the
concern, what can be done about it, and how to obtain services.

 Screening identifies individuals with unrecognized health risk factors or asymptomatic disease conditions in
populations.

 Case-finding locates individuals and families with identified risk factors and connects them to resources.

 Referral makes a connection to necessary resources to prevent or resolve problems or concerns. Follow-up
assesses outcomes related to the utilization of the resources.

 Case management is a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation,
and advocacy for options and services to meet client needs. It uses communication and available resources to
promote safety, quality of care, and cost-effective outcomes.

 Delegated functions include: 1) direct care tasks a registered professional nurse carries out under the authority
of a health care practitioner, as allowed by law, and 2) direct care tasks a registered professional nurse entrusts
to other appropriate personnel to perform.

 Health teaching involves sharing information and experiences through educational activities designed to
improve health knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills (Friedman, Cosby, Boyko, Hatton-Bauer, & Turnbull,
2011).

 Counseling involves establishing an interpersonal relationship at an emotional level, with the goal of increased
or enhanced capacity for self-care and coping.

 Consultation seeks information and generates optimal solutions to perceived problems or issues through
interactive problem-solving.

 Collaboration enhances the capacity to promote and protect health for mutual benefit and a common purpose.
Collaboration involves exchanging information, harmonized activities, and shared resources (National Business
Coalition on Health, 2008).

 Coalition-building helps promote and develop alliances among organizations or constituencies for a common
purpose. It builds links, solves problems, and/or enhances local leadership to address health concerns.

 Community organizing is “the process by which people come together to identify common problems or goals,
mobilize resources, and develop and implement strategies for reaching the objectives they want to accomplish”
(Center for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas, 2017).

 Advocacy is the act of promoting and protecting the health of individuals and communities “by collaborating
with relevant stakeholders, facilitating access to health and social services, and actively engaging key decision-
makers to support and enact policies to improve community health outcomes” (Ezeonwu, 2015, p. 123).

 Social marketing is a process “that uses marketing principles and techniques to change target audience
behaviors to benefit society as well as the individual” (Lee & Kotler, 2016, p. 9).

 Policy development places health issues on decision-makers’ agendas, establishes a plan of resolution,
determines needed resources, and results in laws, rules and regulations, ordinances, and policies. Policy
enforcement compels others to comply with the laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, and policies created in
conjunction with policy development.

Public health practice levels
Public health interventions are population-based if they consider all levels of practice. The three inner rings of the
model represent this concept. The inner rings of the model are systems-focused, community-focused, and
individual/family-focused.

A population-based approach considers intervening at all possible levels of practice. Interventions may be directed at
the entire population within a community, the systems that affect the health of those populations, and/or the
individuals and families within those populations known to be at risk.

 Systems-focused population-based practice: Changes organizations, policies, laws, and power structures. The
focus is not directly on individuals and communities but on the systems that impact health. Changing systems
often impacts population health in a more effective and lasting way than requiring change from every individual
in a community.

 Community-focused population-based practice: Changes community norms, attitudes, awareness, practices,
and behaviors. This practice level is directed at entire populations within the community or occasionally toward
target groups within those populations. Community-focused practice is measured in terms of what proportion
of the population actually changes.

 Individual/family-focused population-based practice: Changes knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, practices, and
behaviors of individuals and families. This practice level is directed at individuals, alone or as part of a family,
class, or group. Individuals receive services because they are identified as belonging to a population at risk.
