Description
Hello Prof. Alfred,
I am attaching three clinical journal examples titled:
Clinical Journal Example #1
Clinical Journal Example #2
Clinical Journal Example #3
I am currently working on Clinical Journal #2. For my purposes, we will only use adult patients.In the future, following the same instructions and using faculty feedback, we will work on future journals.
I already completed Clinical Journal #1 and received faculty feedback in PDF format, 72/100, with comments, attached, along with the rubric filled out, attached.
The journal medical info such as medications to prescribe should not be difficult to find using google and appropriate references. However, faculty as you will see from their feedback want detailed responses such as severity of onset, how long ago did it start, evidence from the patient´s own words that we can make up, etc.
The name of my clinical site is Integrated Healthcare Services Behavioral Health/IHS BH. If you need any additional info, feel free to ask along the way.
From the PDF instructor feedback, you can see some comments are very helpful moving forward including writing the chief complaint as a quote in the patient´s words, etc.
Also, typically, we are given door information as follows so in our made up patients, we would have to make up the door information, which of course you can provide to me as well so I know the door information used for each clinical journal.I have attached a door information example.As you will see, my Clinical Journal #1 submission, PDF with faculty feedback, aligns with the rubric, but faculty want even more detail responses such as severity of onset, how long ago did it start, evidence from the patient´s own words that we can make up, what questions we would ask such as whether the patient has access to weapons at home?, etc.
Kindly use the rubric to include ALL SUPTOPICS AND DETAILS REQUESTED following the examples.From faculty feedback, faculty comments included: Good first attempt. Numerous comments in the paper for corrections on the next one.PLEASE take a look at the sample papers and use them as a model for your next paper.
For Clinical Journals #2-5, the good thing is that we can make up our own patient info, so you can make up the ideal clinical scenario for your ideal patient including prescribed medications, etc.
Google may assist in determining which medications to prescribe to ADHD patients, for example, including dose mg, etc.
I will also be including the textbooks they included in the syllabus for your reference and convenience, which you may download at libgen.is as needed. Or I can provide them to you at your request, but they are a bit large in size.
References from the syllabus (You can use these or other references no older than 5 years old, look at the examples for the types of references used)
