To: - ANS-appropriately prescribe psychotropic medications, it is necessary to have a solid
understanding of the functions of the brain and the roles that neurotransmitters play in illness
and treatment. Adherence - ANS-Persistence
-taking med over intended time period
Compliance
-using the medication as directed The amygdala, or ANS, is involved in emotional regulation
and smell perception. the group of structures in the basal ganglia (ANS) that are involved in
voluntary motor movements brain tissue - ANS-made up of grey matter and white matter
Broca's domain: production of ANS speech central sulcus, or ANS, divides the frontal and
parietal lobes. ANS-coordination - cerebellum ANS-non-adherence is influenced by client,
clinician, and structural factors. Conditioning memory: - ANS-Reacting to a sound that has been
associated with pain.
When prescribing medications, it is also necessary to take into account the particular
circumstances of each client, including their: - ANS--symptoms -age
-physical health
-lifestyle
Communication between the two hemispheres of the brain is controlled by the corpus callosum
(ANS). ANS-Memory for events and facts is referred to as declarative memory. dorsal striatum -
ANS-involved in complex motor actions and linkage of cognition to motor actions
-the primary area of input for basal ganglia *activated when anticipating or engaging in pleasure
Episodic memory: ANS-Recollections of one's own life experiences, including their details
(where, when, and with whom). ANS, or frontal lobe, is linked to movement, intelligence, and
abstract thinking. Dendrites and nerve cells are contained in the ANS's grey matter.
hippocampus - ANS-involved in both memory and anxiety
How does reviewing the genetic makeup of a client help guide the PMHNP in selecting
medication for clients? - ANS--Genetic testing can assist by providing more information on how
clients may respond to certain psychotropic medications
-provides information on how a client may break down and metabolize medications based on
the cytochrome P450 system.
left hemisphere - ANS--speech comprehension
-Recognition of words -grammar
-processing in sequence -attention to detail -Conscious processing of the mind limbic system -
ANS-includes circuits that are associated with pleasure and reward
ANS: Long-term memories can last a lifetime and can be stored for days to years. Diagnoses
related to mental health play a significant role in the following: motor cortex - ANS-movement
non-adherence factors - ANS-Client factors
-concern about side effects
-fear of drug dependence -Uncertainty regarding the expected outcomes Clinician factors
-providing inadequate education about meds
