The objective of this paper is to present a case study of a client, J.W., who was seen at Mazique Pediatric PC with a chief complaint of recurring attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) -like symptoms and behavior changes. J.W. was first diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder at age seven. The management process of his condition will include literature review regarding ADHD, epidemiological data, nursing and medical diagnoses with plans, treatments, evaluation with possible outcomes. Shuler Nurse Practitioner Practice Model will be used as a theoretical framework to structure and manage the care of this client. This model uses well-oriented holistic approach as it suggests how client interaction, assessment, intervention, and evaluation should occur (Bertalanffy, 1968, p. 11). This approach will reflect a combined role of nursing and medicine which will be put into practice when caring for clients. This case study will outline the process of utilizing this model in clinical practice, with the goal to promote health and prevent any other illness. Shuler’s approach is seen as a whole system that includes inputs, throughputs and outputs. The inputs comprise chief complaints, history of present illness and review of systems which are subjective data. The throughputs by Shuler emphasize problem identification based on performing thorough physical examination, recognizing clinical manifestations and doing work-ups to find the cause of his symptoms;Show MoreRelatedA Dsm Diagnosis Of The Client1267 Words   |  6 Pagesof the client in the case study Unspecified feeding or eating disorder 307.50 (F50.9) Persistent Depressive Disorder 300.4(F34.1), with mixed features, partial remission, early onset, moderate Specific Learning Disorder 315.00(F81.0) with impairment in reading Alcohol Use Disorder, in early remission, 305.00(F10.10) Delirium 291.0(F10.121) Contributing factor; Grade Retention and Low self-esteem An explanation of your rationale for assigning the diagnosis on the basis of the DSM Case Study RationaleRead MoreA Short Note On The Russian s Theory1855 Words   |  8 PagesIndividuals who had similar scaled scores in areas that Ms. Russian endorsed reported impairments in concentration and memory as well as sleep disturbances.
