PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DIAGNOSES
Depression is common, but a serious medical illness that affects how people feel, think, and act negatively. Depression is associated with a depletion of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine or dopamine in the central nervous system. This depletion or reduction contributes to the development of depressive symptoms in subjects at elevated risk of depression, especially people with MDD in full remission or individuals from a family with a history of depression. The reduction is also linked to mood congruent memory bias, altered reward-related behaviors, and inhibitory affective processing disruption. Depression leads to feelings of extreme sadness and loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.(Tracheostomy and ventilator CAREPLAN Sample) |
|||||||||
STUDENT PLAN FOR DAY | |||||||||
Instruct the patient and family about depression, including the genetic and environmental links to the disorder. Teach them how to deal with grieve and hopelessness. Educate them about the need for the patient to continue taking prescribed medications, even if the patient feels better. Ensure that the family have contact information for the patient’s health care team, including the psychiatric practitioner and the patient can easily reach out to the care team at the facility. Document the patient’s behaviors, including signs of self-harm, sadness, grief, isolation, and eating and hygiene patterns. Record medication given and any adverse reactions. Document teaching provided to the patient and family, their understanding of that teaching, and any need for follow-up teaching.(Tracheostomy and ventilator CAREPLAN Sample) | |||||||||
