ANXIETY, OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE AND RELATED, AND TRAUMA AND STRESSOR-RELATED DISORDER
Anxiety disorders provide a good opportunity to take a close look at the nature/nurture debate as well as the gene/environment interactions that influence the nervous system and neurochemistry. A significant part of most of Sigmund Freud’s theories, the concept of anxiety has been debated and discussed over many years in the psychiatric literature. While Freud’s theories focused on the “mind” and the unconscious, another way to look at anxiety is with Hans Selye’s concept of “fight or flight” in which the sympathetic nervous system activates a response to stress. As you explore anxiety disorders, you will notice that no two cases of anxiety are the same.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by the presence of obsessive thoughts, which manifest as persistent thoughts, images, or even “urges.” The only way that the individual can disperse the anxiety of these persistent thoughts/images and urges is to perform a behavior (the compulsion). The compulsion could be checking things, counting, reciting a silent prayer, or repeating a number of phrases. The disorder becomes so pervasive that the person can spend a significant amount of time each day attending to the compulsion in order to relieve the anxiety caused by the obsession.
Although trauma and stressor-related disorders stem from exposure to a traumatic or stressful event, not all exposures to trauma or stress will result in a disorder. However, following these types of events, patients may report symptoms that interfere with their ability to function well in one or more areas of their life, such as flashbacks, nightmares, or intense psychological or physiological distress.
FOCUSED SOAP NOTE FOR ANXIETY, PTSD, AND OCD
In assessing patients with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and trauma and stressor-related disorders, you will continue the practice of looking to understand chief symptomology in order to develop a diagnosis. With a differential diagnosis in mind, you can then move to a treatment and follow-up plan that may involve both psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic approaches.
In this Assignment, use then case study attached to develop a focused SOAP note based on evidence-based approaches.
Organizational leaders are often involved in a process that requires involves demonstrating compliance with regulatory guidelines or demonstrating evidence that the organization meets a particular set of standards. Some examples of this might include Magnet Journey, specialty area certification (i.e., upgrading of ER Trauma Level; Stroke Center Designation), Joint Commission Survey, State Department of Health. The organization is often provided with a form that specifies the information required and which must be completed and returned to the requesting agency for review. The information you provide to the requesting agency is then distributed to the team of evaluators responsible for determining if your organization has met the requirements of the agency. The quality of information you provide and the consistency of the format requested play a critical role in the minds of the evaluators. If there are gaps in the information, it will lead to questions from the evaluators during the visit. If you produce a thorough, high-quality, and professional document, consistent with the format requested, it significantly increases the likelihood of a favorable review process. The portfolio assignment provides the student with practice in finding and assembling information into a requested format for review. In a very small and simple way, this simulates a process such as what is described in the previous paragraph. The portfolio assignment also serves to chronicle and archive the project process. While you may start the project as the project manager, sometimes projects are handed off to another person or another team. Having a current set of documents and information allows a current PM to seamlessly hand off the project to another PM. Think of yourself as the PM taking over your project. What information would you want to help ensure a seamless transition? Assemble the portfolio so that it would be such that you would want to receive it in taking the handoff. This assignment allows you to assemble your CGE portfolio with the project management components and activities completed to this point. You will build on this assignment at the conclusion of the CGE II course to create an updated portfolio. 1. Assemble the initial portfolio. Elements of Portfolio The student is responsible for the development of a CGE portfolio that includes the following elements in the following order. Project PICOT question Five individual PICOT elements as approved in the Week 2 discussion Narrative PICOT statement or question consistent with the PICOT element statements Summary of CGE Executive Organizational Change Project Proposal Literature review (may be copied and pasted from the Week 4 assignment with any revisions requested by the instructor; summary table not required) Reflection on Course Outcome (CO) achievement List each CO as a heading in proper APA format. For each CO, provide a reflective summary of how you feel you have progressed in meeting this outcome through the resources and activities of NR631. The following documents each included as a separate appendix in the following order PICOT Worksheet (Week 2) Project Charter (Week 3) Project Scope (Week 3) Communication Plan (Week 5) Deliverables and CSF (Week 6)
For this assignment, you will be taking a more thorough look into your leadership self-assessment results that you reflected on in Module One. This assignment will help in the creation of your personal development plan, which will be submitted in Module Six.
Scenario
You work as a director of leadership and learning for an organization that makes prosthetics. The organization has been in business since 1999 and employs over 350 people in its Tampa, Florida, headquarters and three plant locations across the Southwest. While the business is currently based in the United States, the organization is exploring ways to move into Canadian markets within the next three years. This year’s employee engagement survey results for the organization show that some leadership practices were rated lower, while some practices were rated higher. The new chief human resources officer (CHRO) met with the team to discuss the general results. Everyone agrees that the company’s focus should be on both specific leadership development areas perceived as strengths and on those rated as areas for improvement, primarily regarding social intelligence, emotional intelligence, and the interpersonal skills of effective leaders.
To help this initiative, your manager, the vice president of leadership and learning, asked you to create an adaptive leadership toolkit that can be used throughout the organization. To begin this work, you conducted a personal leadership self-assessment, and now you will be taking a closer look at these results to produce a self-assessment report. You plan on exploring how this self-assessment would make a beneficial contribution to a personal development plan and adaptive leadership toolkit, which will help to resolve the leadership challenges the organization is currently facing.
Prompt
For this assignment, refer to your results from your self-assessment and use the LPI Self Percentile Ranking to determine where each of your five leadership behaviors rank. Overview

It is important for a project manager to know and track every deliverable as well as the critical success factors (CSFs). Always remember to plan, plan, and plan again. Making sure that you have identified and listed every deliverable as well as defining the CSFs is time well spent. The time you spend thinking and discussing can be classified as scientific or technological exploration or investigation. Each deliverable must be known and is discussed in the scope document. These are critical to identify to move forward with the project plan and ensure a successful project. If a deliverable is overlooked and left out, the project will be considered a failure. The deliverables are related to the work of the project. It is through the project activities that the deliverables are completed or developed. A deliverable could be something that was completed (if it was a service performed) or developed (if it was a new software package). No matter what the deliverable is, there is work associated with the development. For you to proceed with your work-breakdown structures and completion milestones, you must know what needs to be done. Review and re-review to glean every deliverable. This is why it is so important to reflect on all of the deliverables at this point in the management of your project. The CSFs are those characteristics or attributes that are essential for your project to succeed. According to Sipes, “There are the few key areas where things ‘must go right’ for the business to flourish” (p. 112). Examples of how to complete the forms can be found in the course textbook, Project Management for the Advanced Practice Nurse, on p. 112 (Tables 4.7 and 4.8). Review your project documents and analyze your data to determine your CSFs. Be sure to include metrics. If metrics are not included, you will not be able to measure or evaluate your project in Phase 5. What is the scope of your project, and how will you collect the required data? Work with your mentor to complete the deliverables and CSF documents. It is always better to have more input rather than less. Discuss and seek consensus with your mentor on the deliverables and CSFs for your project. To assist you, there is a document you will use to develop this part of the project planning process. Complete the deliverables and CSF document. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, references, and citations must be consistent with formal academic writing and APA format as expressed in the current edition of the APA manual. Assignment Instructions All project deliverables must be identified and listed on the Deliverables and CSF document. All CSFs must be identified and listed on the Deliverables and CSF document. Metrics must be included. Ideas and information from professional sources must be cited correctly using the current edition of the APA manual. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, references, and citations must be consistent with formal academic writing.
As a project manager, part of your responsibility will be identifying resources that you have available and those resources that you may need in addition to what is currently available. Once you know what physical and human resources you have at your disposal, you then use the PM tools introduced in the lesson to allocate and schedule them. In thinking about your project, what resources might you anticipate being the most concerning to secure and/or manage? What can you do to plan ahead to mitigate potential delays due to resource or delivery issues?
