Week 4 Discussion

Discussion Mental Health

This discussion
assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week based
on the course competencies covered. For this assignment, make sure you post
your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.

To support your work,
use your course textbook readings and the South University Online Library. As
in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for
the citations in APA format.

Start reviewing and
responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible.
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in
the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification,
providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the
discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning
in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete
your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.

For this assignment,
you will complete a Aquifer case study based on the course objectives and
weekly content. Aquifer cases emphasize core learning objectives for an
evidence-based primary care curriculum. Throughout your nurse practitioner
program, you will use the Aquifer case studies to promote the development of
clinical reasoning through the use of ongoing assessments and diagnostic skills
and to develop patient care plans that are grounded in the latest clinical
guidelines and evidence-based practice.

The Aquifer assignments
are highly interactive and a dynamic way to enhance your learning. Material
from the Aquifer cases may be present in the quizzes, the midterm exam, and the
final exam.

Learn how to access
and navigate Aquifer.

This week, complete
the Aquifer case titled “Family Medicine 03: 65-year-old woman with insomnia”
