Medication Education: Escitalopram is a medication in the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors that helps decrease depression by inhibiting serotonin reuptake. (Kane, Ouslander, Abrass & Resnick, 2013). Take one tablet by mouth daily. If you notice it makes you a bit sleepy, then take in the evening which will also help with your sleep disturbances and adjustment insomnia. Side effects include nausea, headache, insomnia, diarrhea, fatigue, and worsening depression (Kane, Ouslander, Abrass & Resnick, 2013).
Other Education: Increase your fluid intake and sustain from any carbonated or caffeinated beverages. Wear cotton underwear, practice good hygiene to prevent urinary tract infections. (Fenstermacher & Hudson, 2016).
Go to the emergency room if you are having any thoughts of hurting yourself or others. A counselor is encouraged for therapy; this is a third-party person you can talk to about the stresses in your life. The counselor can also assist you with referrals and community services you may need (Fenstermacher & Hudson, 2016).
Make sure your diet contains a variety of foods, particularly whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Food and drinks containing caffeine, saturated fats, trans-fatty acids and cholesterol should be limited. You should also partake in regular exercise, at least 30-60 minutes a day, 3-4 days a week. Studies revealed women that follow these guidelines have lower rates of morbidity and mortality from coronary artery disease and certain forms of cancer (Schuiling & Likis, 2013).
Referral: Case management consults to assist in community referrals for healthcare and financial assistance.
Follow up: In office in 2 weeks to follow up on depression. Call the office if you have any problems or concerns.

Anticipatory Guidance for Jo:
Topic: Nutrition
NR 602 Kayla Well Women Case Study
Target Age Range: (Middle Childhood 5-10 years old)
According to the Bright Futures Guidelines for a 5-year-old Jo has several priorities for this first visit. They first recommend that the concerns of the parents be addressed first. Then, school readiness, mental health, nutrition and physical activity, oral health, and safety should all be addressed. (Strasburger, 2015).
Definition: As for Jo’s dietary intake it is good that she is eating three meals a day with two snacks, but the large quantity of juice, soda, and processed foods are not good. During this age group it is the perfect time to counsel them on making appropriate choices on what to eat and drink to promote nutritional health. Guidance should be provided, or a referral can be given if the family needs nutritional helps due to cultural, religious, or financial reasons. One of these guidance items that should be discussed heavily in Jo’s case is the limitation of high-fat and low-nutrient foods and drinks, such as candy, salty snacks, fast foods, and soda. (Strasburger, 2015).
Educational points:
According to the CDC (2009) clinical growth charts, Jo’s BMI is 22.3 which are above the 95th percentile for body mass index for her age. Jo is considered obese for her age and needs help with healthy eating habits. The mother needs to be educated in being a healthy role model for Jo; children often mimic what they see from their parents. Jo should be fed more fruits, vegetable, nuts, seeds and whole grain foods. Jo should be getting at least 60 minutes of exercise a day and TV time should be limited to 2 hours a day. Foods high in fat and sugar should be limited to one treat a day (NIDDK, 2013).
The parents should be encouraged to support their children in being physically active and to be physically active together as a family. Parents of children with special health care needs should also be encouraged to allow their children to participate in regular physical activity or cardiovascular fitness within the limits of their medical conditions. (Strasburger, 2015)
As for Jo, she should be encouraged to be physically active for at least 60 minutes total every day. It doesn’t have to happen all at once, but can be split up into several periods of activity over the course of the day. (Strasburger, 2015)
The family should also limit the amount of time your child watches TV and plays video games or is on the computer to no more than 2 hours altogether each day. Any TVs from your child’s bedroom should be removed. (Strasburger, 2015)
Referral- Due to the results of Jo’s Snellen test she should be referred to an ophthalmologist for a further evaluation (Charbeck, 2015).
Follow up- Call the office with any problems or concerns. Return in 1 year for well child visit. (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2016)

Welcome to class
Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to.
I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.
Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.
If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.
Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.
Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.
I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
