POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER<\/p>\n
It is estimated that more almost 7% of the U.S. population will experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime (National Institute of Mental Health, 2017). This debilitating disorder often interferes with an individual\u2019s ability to function in daily life. Common symptoms of anxiousness and depression frequently lead to behavioral issues, adolescent substance abuse issues, and even physical ailments. For this Assignment, you examine a PTSD video case study and consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with PTSD.

\nWEEKLY RESOURCES
\nTo prepare:
\n\u2022\tReview this week\u2019s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide about diagnosing and treating PTSD.
\n\u2022\tView the media Presentation Example: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and assess the client in the case study.
\n\u2022\tFor guidance on assessing the client, refer to Chapter 3 of the Wheeler text.
\nNote: To complete this Assignment, you must assess the client, but you are not required to submit a formal comprehensive client assessment.
\nTHE ASSIGNMENT
\nSuccinctly, in 1\u20132 pages, address the following:
\n\u2022\tBriefly explain the neurobiological basis for PTSD illness.
\n\u2022\tDiscuss the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for PTSD and relate these criteria to the symptomology presented in the case study. Does the video case presentation provide sufficient information to derive a PTSD diagnosis? Justify your reasoning. Do you agree with the other diagnoses in the case presentation? Why or why not?
\n\u2022\tDiscuss one other psychotherapy treatment option for the client in this case study. Explain whether your treatment option is considered a \u201cgold standard treatment\u201d from a clinical practice guideline perspective, and why using gold standard, evidence-based treatments from clinical practice guidelines is important for psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners.
\n3- Support your Assignment with specific examples from this week\u2019s media and at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources. Explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
\n===>
\nThe neurobiological basis for PTSD illness is thought to involve changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the noradrenergic system. These changes may lead to increased reactivity of the stress response and changes in the brain regions involved in memory, emotion regulation, and fear processing.
\nThe DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for PTSD include exposure to a traumatic event, symptoms of intrusion, avoidance, negative alterations in cognition and mood, and alterations in arousal and reactivity. The video case presentation does provide sufficient information to derive a PTSD diagnosis as the client describes experiencing a traumatic event and exhibiting symptoms such as flashbacks, avoidance, and emotional numbing. The video case presentation also includes other diagnoses such as depression and alcohol use disorder, which may be comorbid conditions that occur alongside PTSD.
\nThe other psychotherapy treatment option for the client in this case study could be cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This treatment is considered a “gold standard” treatment from a clinical practice guideline perspective as it has strong empirical support for its effectiveness in treating PTSD. Using gold standard, evidence-based treatments from clinical practice guidelines is important for psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners as it ensures that clients receive the most effective and up-to-date treatment options.<\/p>\n
