CHAPTER 3 FINAL

Overview

For this Performance Task Assessment, you will create a presentation in which you describe how you will manage a case involving biopsychosocial factors.

Submission Length: 10-slide PowerPoint presentation with audio narration on each slide (excluding the reference slide)

Instructions

To complete this Assessment, do the following:

• Be sure to adhere to the indicated assignment length.

Biopsychosocial Factors

Your unit is creating some in-house professional development, and you have been asked to contribute to the presentation. Several scenarios have been gleaned from past cases (changing identifiable information to protect patients), and you are responsible for presenting information about how your assigned case should be managed.

Your section of the PowerPoint presentation should be 10 slides long and should include narration on each slide (excluding the reference slide). Your file should be saved in .pptx format.

Scenario: At the insistence of his mother, 13-year old Michael is seeing his pediatrician to check a painful wrist injury that is making it difficult for him to complete schoolwork and participate in other activities. Michael is a Latino teenager who lives in a low socioeconomic and urban neighborhood. Michael had seen this doctor three months earlier to treat a sinus infection. Since then, he has lost a significant amount of weight. He also appears decidedly more disheveled and sloppily dressed compared to his earlier appointment. As you update his health history, he appears to be sullen and even hostile when replying to your questions. Michael is dismissive of his wrist pain and complains that his mother is making a big deal out of nothing. You also notice that Michael’s mother has extensive bruising on her lower arms. While Michael’s wrist problem brought him into the office, you are aware that biopsychosocial factors may be impacting his health and well-being—and that a biopsychosocial history is as important as a physical exam.

Respond to the questions below from your perspective as the nurse providing care for this patient. Support your thoughts and ideas with appropriate citations from scholarly references.

Use the following to guide you in preparing your presentation:

Slide 1: Introduce the scenario

• Your slide should include a copy of the full scenario, and the audio narration should highlight the important details.

Slides 2–3: Explain how the Home environment, Education and employment, Eating, peer-related Activities, Drugs, Sexuality, Suicide/depression, and Safety (HEEADSSS) method of interviewing may help to identify biopsychosocial factors to help explain Michael’s health and well-being. Consider including a bullet list on the slide with an explanation in the audio narration.

Slide 4: Using biopsychosocial factors, write two (2) questions that you would ask an adolescent patient suspected of drug or alcohol abuse. Within your audio narration, provide a rationale for each question.

Slide 5: Describe one screening instrument that you might use to help identify adolescent alcohol abuse. Within your audio narration, justify the use of this screening instrument in this situation.

Slide 6: Using biopsychosocial factors, create two questions for an adolescent patient suspected of experiencing domestic violence. Within your audio narration, provide a rationale for each question.

Slide 7: Explain how a biopsychosocial history helps to support a physical exam for a patient’s health. Be sure to include additional details in audio narration.

Slide 8: Explain the relationship between biopsychosocial factors and the social determinants of health. Be sure to include additional details in audio narration.

Slide 9: Describe two social determinants of health that are associated with the neighborhood and the built environment and relate to Michael’s health history and physical exam. In your audio narration, explain one way that these determinants of health might impact the ability to access, promote, or maintain health and well-being for each.
