He is accompanied by his eldest son, Mark, who lives with Mr. Wingate.

Mr. Wingate was referred to you by his primary care provider who has performed an extensive diagnostic workup to rule out an organic basis for his changes in cognition. Mr. Wingate’s son Mark has verbalized a concern that Mr. Wingate may have Alzheimer’s disease.

When questioned, Mr. Wingate states that he is unaware of anyone in his family ever having been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. SUBJECTIVE Mr. Wingate states that he has always been “a little bit forgetful,†but he noticed that in his 60s and 70s, it got worse. Mark states that “for the past 2 years, it has been getting worse.

He doesn’t even notice how bad his memory has become.†On at least two occasions, Mr. Wingate has gotten lost when he was driving to the grocery store. Mr. Wingate protested his disagreement with this accusation stating, “but they were doing road construction, anyone could have gotten mixed up!†While his son conceded to this, he pointed out that Mr. Wingate’s memory has caused some other problems, such as errors with paying his monthly utility bills (at one point, the electric company threatened to shut off his electricity due to his nonpayment of the bill).

His son Mark also pointed out that the family is concerned for Mr. Wingate’s safety as he twice left his keys hanging in the door and just two evenings ago, put food in oven and forgot about it until the smoke detector in the kitchen began to alarm. Mr. Wingate also has had a few issues with managing his medications. Specifically, he took too many Norvasc tablets a few months ago, which resulted in hypotension and a fall.

Since that time, Mark’s wife has been setting up Mr. Wingate’s pills in pill boxes, but recently, multiple “missed doses†have been noted. Mr. Wingate states: “but those are my night pills that I miss—I’m always better at remembering things in the morning.†Mark agrees, stating that Mr. Wingate’s cognition does vary throughout the course of the day and appears to worsen in the evening.

He also reports that his father seems much less alert in the evenings, and more alert in the mornings. Mr. Wingate reports that he has had poor sleep for “a long time now.†He does report that over the past few months, he has been having what he describes as “very vivid nightmares.†His son states that sometimes he is awakened by his father’s yelling during nightmares, and enters his father’s room, and sees his father swinging or kicking in his sleep. He reports that his appetite is “alright†and that his energy levels do fluctuate throughout the course of the day. He states: “sometimes, I can concentrate really well; other times I can’t … it is very frustrating!†Specific to substance use, Mr.

Wingate notes that he used to enjoy a glass of wine or two with dinner, but states that it just doesn’t interest him, anymore. Plus, he stated that he notices that when he does drink, he develops slow muscle contractions. Mr. Wingate’s son also shares a concern about his father’s abnormal movements. He states that for about the last 6 months, his father has had problems with coordination.

He states that he raised these concerns with the family doctor who suggested it may be “late onset Parkinson’s disease.†However, he was not treated because the symptoms were “not that bad.†OBJECTIVE Mr. Wingate was overall calm and pleasant during the clinical interview. Throughout the clinical interview, you notice that Mr. Wingate is not really involved in the discussion. He seems somewhat indifferent to the assessment and does not seem very concerned with what is being discussed.

He only protested when discussing how he got lost on his way to the supermarket and his evening medication dose. Review of systems and screening physical assessment were unremarkable, with the exception of fine resting tremors noted in both of Mr. Wingate’s hands. The psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) also reviewed laboratory studies that were sent from Mr. Wingate’s primary care provider; they were within normal limits with the exception of a serum sodium level of 130 mEq/L.

MENTAL STATUS EXAM Mr. Wingate is alert. He is oriented to person, place, and partially oriented to time (he knows that it is morning, but cannot tell the hour). His speech is clear, coherent, goal directed, and spontaneous. Mr.

Wingate’s self-reported mood is “ok.†Affect is somewhat constricted. His eye contact is fleeting throughout the clinical interview. He denies visual or auditory hallucinations, no overt delusional or paranoid thought processes appreciated. Judgment seems well preserved, but insight appears impaired as he is having trouble understanding why his son brought him to this appointment. Concentration and attention also appear impaired, which prompts the PMHNP to perform a mini-mental status exam (MMSE) on Mr.

Wingate. RESULTS OF MMSE Score of 17, with primary deficits in orientation; calculation; recall (he was unable to recall any of the three items presented after 5 minutes); and he was unable to perform serial 7’s or spell the word “WORD†in reverse, despite the fact that he is a high school graduate and attended 1 year of college. He also needed prompting with the three-step command. His score suggests severe cognitive impairment. At this point, please discuss any additional diagnostic tests you would perform on Mr.

Wingate. Decision Point One BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE SCENARIO ABOVE, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSES WOULD YOU GIVE TO MR. WINGATE? Major frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder (FTNCD) Major neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer’s disease Major neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies Decision Point Two Begin Rivastigmine 1.5 mg orally twice a day Begin Olanzapine 5 mg orally at bedtime Begin Ramelteon 8 mg at bedtime Decision Point Three Restart Olanzapine at 2.5 mg orally at bedtime Begin Donepezil 5 mg orally at bedtime Begin Methylphenidate 20 mg orally daily Also include how ethical considerations might impact your treatment plan and communication with clients and their family.

Make sure to write five or more complete sentences. 4) What are some areas you would like to grow and improve in? Make sure to write five or more complete sentences.

Part 2: Accomplishment Statements Accomplishments don’t have to be as large as climbing the top of Mount Everest or starting your own company. We accomplish many things in our lives every day that have meaning. For example, perhaps you organized volunteers for your school’s food drive or made an extremely profitable sale. Or, if you’re more advanced in your career, perhaps you’ve received a promotion or special recognition. In this part of the assignment, you’ll identify two accomplishments from work, school, volunteering, or other activities.

You’ll then practice communicating these in ways appropriate for a résumé. To begin, brainstorm accomplishments from your work, school, volunteering, or other activities. Read the Accomplishment Categories section for a list. After you’ve identified two accomplishments, write statements for each accomplishment using the information below: Step 1: Think about each of your accomplishments in these terms: Challenge Situation, problem, or requirement. Action Specific actions you took to resolve or meet the challenge.

Result The benefit created in specific and measurable terms. Be sure to tie results to the organization’s goals when possible. Details Clarifying details, such as numbers or percentages, to provide context (consider answering how many , how much , how long , or how often ). Consider the example below of someone with experience as a retail manager: Challenge An increase in customer complaints about the helpfulness of staff. Action Developed a new training program for staff, got approval from district manager, and once approved implemented it with a regular review process.

Result After 3 months, customer complaints decreased. Details Previously, customer complaints averaged 4 per week. After 3 months, complaints averaged 1 or less per week. Step 2: Write two accomplishment statements to practice using this format: Challenge Action Result Details Challenge Action Result Details Step 3: Now, try writing your two accomplishment statements concisely for a résumé (you will not be completing a resume). Use either example format below to write your accomplishments: Accomplishment Statement 1: Result + action + brief description including clarifying details.

Example: Decreased customer complaints from 3 per week to 1 or less per week by training staff and implementing a regular review process. Accomplishment Statement 2: Action + brief description with clarifying details + results. Example: Trained retail staff in customer-service techniques and implemented a regular review process, decreasing customer complaints from 3 per week to 1 or less per week. Accomplishment Statement 1 Accomplishment Statement 2 Note: Delete this section before handing in your completed template. Accomplishment Categories Saving Time: shortening a procedure optimizing a process establishing a new procedure investing in new technology retraining staff identifying inefficiencies changing a schedule recommending new systems Saving Money: using supplies more effectively eliminating unneeded reports contracting with a new vendor reducing underperforming programs properly scheduling staff recruiting volunteers creating something from scratch finding cost-effective solutions Making Money: increasing sales/profits/market share enlarging a market finding a new market expanding class offerings developing new services inventing something winning a grant enrolling new participants retaining clients/customers/students developing partnerships upselling customers extending contracts Reducing Risk: meeting government requirements improving testing fixing a problem ensuring safety standards are met decreasing negative behaviors increasing positive behaviors protecting against a hazard developing policies Improving Quality: upgrading a system or software updating a course facilitating employee training instating best practices implementing new procedures Recognition: winning an award securing a promotion achieving a certification/degree boosting customer satisfaction improving employee engagement increasing teamwork reducing errors receiving positive feedback · earning a bonus · accepting a board position Creating Positive Outcomes: implementing successful intervention teaching life skills observing behavioral change fostering therapeutic relationships Part 3: Reflect on Your Experiences 1) How has reflecting on your goals, strengths, areas of growth, and accomplishments been valuable for you?

I consider my communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills as my key strengths. Colleagues often approach me for advice on effective communication strategies due to my ability to convey complex ideas in an understandable manner. My problem-solving skills have enabled me to analyze situations critically, leading to effective solutions in challenging scenarios. Moreover, my strong organizational skills help me manage tasks efficiently, ensuring deadlines are met while balancing various responsibilities.
4) Areas for Growth
Despite my numerous strengths, I recognize the necessity for growth in my technical skills, particularly in data analysis and digital marketing. In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, proficiency in these areas would greatly enhance my capabilities and employability. Additionally, developing my emotional intelligence can improve my interpersonal relationships, allowing for deeper connections with peers and subordinates. Lastly, as public speaking continues to be a valuable skill, dedicating time to practice this would foster greater confidence and proficiency.

4) Confidence in Expressing Accomplishments
Practicing writing my accomplishments in a résumé-appropriate style has significantly increased my confidence in expressing my achievements to potential employers. It has trained me to succinctly articulate the value I bring to any position, providing concrete examples and quantifying results, ensuring a strong impression.
Conclusion
Reflecting on my values, strengths, and accomplishments not only enriches my personal growth but also prepares me to effectively navigate my career. By implementing consistent practices of reflection and actively seeking to improve my skills, I will enhance my contributions and impact in both personal and professional realms.
