Mental Healthcare for Adolescence and children

Scenario

Ryan is a 12 year old diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). As a small child, Ryan was first diagnosed with Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder. He had just started preschool and was unable to remain in one place for more than a minute or two. His parents had already had a very difficult time in disciplining him, because he would become very upset and throw temper tantrums when he could not do as he wished. He just seemed to be an unhappy, irritable child. This behavior continued in school. As time progressed, Ryan was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, because he continued to refuse to listen to adults and comply with the rules.

By the age of 12, he has begun to bully and annoy others. His parents have decided that the approaches they have used in the past are not working, and they are more afraid his behavior will only get worse.

Initial Post

Answer preview

Once someone is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the nurse’s role is to help the patient maintain and moderate blood sugar level. Using multidimensional care, the nurse can introduce a variety of interventions. These interventions include advising the patient to eat food with low carbohydrate and sugar content, do physical exercises, and attend insulin therapy. Once a patient is diagnosed with obesity, the nurse has to help the patient reduce the wait and reduce calories in the body. Some of the multidimensional care include advising the patient to take food with low calories. The nurse should also urge the patient to do physical exercises and change their lifestyle (Mozaffarian, 2017). It is necessary to evaluate whether treatment procedures are successful. The nurse should monitor the sugar level in the bloodstream in all type 2 diabetes patients. For obsessed patients, the nurse can monitor care effectiveness by monitoring the weight loss and reduction in BMI count.
