[Solved] Mood Disorders May Also

 It is important for the PMHNP to have a comprehensive understanding of mood disorders in order to assess and accurately formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan for patients presenting with these disorders. Mood disorders may be diagnosed when a patient’s emotional state meets the diagnostic criteria for severity, functional impact, and length of time. Those with a mood disorder may find that their emotions interfere with work, relationships, or other parts of their lives that impact daily functioning. Mood disorders may also lead to substance abuse or suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and although they are not likely to go away on their own, they can be managed with an effective treatment plan and an understanding of how to manage symptoms.

Policy models provide the framework for moving policy forward. However, not all policy models will be effective for all priorities. Therefore, it is important to appraise policy models with the specific advocacy priority in mind. 

For this Assignment, you will choose from four policymaking frameworks, the one that best fits your advocacy priority. You will construct a written response, with evidence, explaining the selected framework, providing specific detail regarding how it is the best fit and will move the priority forward. 

 

  • Review the twelve policy models outlined in Health Policy: Applications for Nurses and Other Health Professionals (Chapter 9, pp. 119-125)
  • Consider which of the twelve models might best fit your priority determined in Week 2. 
  • You are encouraged to search the literature for examples of how the selected policymaking model has been used in the past.
  • Review the exemplar examples in the Week 4 Learning Resources. 

THE ASSIGNMENT: (2 PAGES)

Submit a 2-page written response detailing your selection of one policymaking framework that best supports your priority—particularly, getting your priority on the agenda. 

In your response, explain why the framework best describes how you might proceed in effectively moving your advocacy priority forward in the policymaking process.

Contextual factors can range from internal (the organization, the practice, the environment, the culture, etc.) to external (laws, policies, politics, regulations, etc.).
