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

• Describe the behaviors apparent for each disorder in this scenario (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder).
• If this behavior becomes worse and Ryan starts to violate the rights of others, what medical diagnosis will be given and why?
• Discuss at least two types of medication appropriate to treat Ryan and support your choices with rationale and credible resources
• Describe why therapy for the parent is important in this scenario including at least two supporting rationales.

Answer preview

Endocrine disorders involve all the diseases that affect the endocrine glands in the human body. These glands produce hormones that control all body functions. Some nurses are not familiar with certain endocrine disorders. This guide will help them discern different endocrine disorders and how to manage them. Type 2 diabetes and obesity are common endocrine disorders. These two disorders are a result of different factors. Type 2 diabetes is caused by the inability of body cells to interact with insulin. Another cause is when the pancreas does not produce recommended level of insulin (Aljuaid, Almutairi, Assiri, Almalki, & Alswat, 2018). Contrary, the cause of obesity is when the calorie intake is higher than what the body uses. Diagnostic tests for type 2 diabetes include glycated hemoglobin test, which measures sugar level in the blood. On the other hand, obesity tests include body mass index calculation, where a BMI of 30 and above shows that someone is at risk of obesity. Also, obesity diagnosis is done by studying patient family history to see whether there have been cases of obesity. Type 2 diabetes and obesity have different symptoms. People with type 2 diabetes experience increased thirst and hunger. They may also have blurred vision or fatigue. People with obesity have extremely high body mass index. They also have wide waist circumference.
