Lethargy, or excessive tiredness and lack of energy, can be indicative
of a systemic illness or severe abdominal pathology. It raises concerns
about the client's overall well-being and potential complications.
A temperature of 101.5 °F (38.6 °C) oral is elevated and suggests the
presence of an infectious or inflammatory process. In the context of
abdominal pain, it raises concerns about potential infection.
Severe abdominal pain localized to the right lower quadrant,
especially when rated as 10 out of 10 on the FACES pain scale,
suggests a significant issue, potentially related to appendicitis or other
acute abdominal conditions.
Persistent vomiting, especially in the context of abdominal pain, raises
concerns about an obstruction, infection, or other gastrointestinal
issues.
,The heart rate is within normal limits for a child, and the history of
asthma is not related to the other findings.

The nurse practitioner (NP) suspects a client is experiencing a
psychogenic nonepileptic seizure (PNES). Which of the following
symptoms suggest this diagnosis? Select all that apply.
A. No postictal confusion or sleepiness
B. Contraction of the limb muscles with excessive muscle tone
C. Eyes are closed
D. Yelling verbal phrases
E. Eyes are open
F. Front-to-back neck movement
G. Side-to-side neck movement
Give this one a try later!
A, C, D, G
A person experiencing PNES is more likely to have side-to-side neck
movements, closed eyes, verbal articulation, and no postictal lethargy or
confusion.
Contraction of the limb muscles with excessive muscle tone, open eyes, and
front-to-back neck movement is more consistent with epilepsy.
, B. Panic attack
According to the DSM-TR-5 (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2022), he
meets the diagnostic criteria for a panic attack but not for panic disorder. His
anxiety is associated with a stressful situation (delivering the presentation) and a
fear that something bad will happen (losing his job). He experiences clinical
manifestations of heart palpitations, nausea, dizziness, sweating, and inability to
formulate an organized answer to the question. However, it is not clear from the
scenario if Derek has experienced repeated panic attacks.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is characterized by increased, persistent,
unreasonable anxiety about everyday situations involving money, work, family, and
relationships.
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) involves the fear of being negatively judged by
others, affecting an individual's ability to perform daily activities. Fear of judgment
may prevent the person from attending certain events or participating in social
activities.
Initiating a referral for physical and occupational therapy assessments: This is the
most appropriate intervention. Physical and occupational therapy can help address
the client's muscle weakness and coordination issues, offering tailored exercises
and strategies to manage the symptoms of the neurodegenerative condition
effectively.
Implementing a high-intensity exercise program to improve muscle strength: This
might not be appropriate initially, as high-intensity exercises can be challenging for
clients with muscle weakness and coordination difficulties typically seen in
neurodegenerative conditions.
Prescribing anticoagulant medication to prevent ischemic stroke: This intervention is
specific to stroke prevention and may not be directly relevant to a client with a
neurodegenerative condition.
Advising the client to engage in complex mental exercises like solving puzzles:
While mental exercises are beneficial, they may not directly address the immediate
physical challenges of muscle weakness and coordination issues.
SI
The NP should immediately act on Greg's thoughts of suicide and take steps to
protect him from harming himself.
The other options (having lost his business and seeming to withdraw from his family)
support a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD).
