ASSIGNMENT
Anxiety disorders provide a good opportunity to take a close look at the nature/nurture debate as well as the gene/environment interactions that influence the nervous system and neurochemistry. A significant part of most of Sigmund Freud’s theories, the concept of anxiety has been debated and discussed over many years in the psychiatric literature. While Freud’s theories focused on the “mind” and the unconscious, another way to look at anxiety is with Hans Selye’s concept of “fight or flight” in which the sympathetic nervous system activates a response to stress. As you explore anxiety disorders, you will notice that no two cases of anxiety are the same.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by the presence of obsessive thoughts, which manifest as persistent thoughts, images, or even “urges.” The only way that the individual can disperse the anxiety of these persistent thoughts/images and urges is to perform a behavior (the compulsion). The compulsion could be checking things, counting, reciting a silent prayer, or repeating a number of phrases. The disorder becomes so pervasive that the person can spend a significant amount of time each day attending to the compulsion in order to relieve the anxiety caused by the obsession.
Although trauma and stressor-related disorders stem from exposure to a traumatic or stressful event, not all exposures to trauma or stress will result in a disorder. However, following these types of events, patients may report symptoms that interfere with their ability to function well in one or more areas of their life, such as flashbacks, nightmares, or intense psychological or physiological distress.
This week, you will explore evidence-based treatment methods for patients with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, as well as trauma and stressor-related disorders.
FOCUSED SOAP NOTE FOR ANXIETY, PTSD, AND OCD
In assessing patients with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and trauma and stressor-related disorders, you will continue the practice of looking to understand chief symptomology in order to develop a diagnosis. With a differential diagnosis in mind, you can then move to a treatment and follow-up plan that may involve both psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic approaches.
In this Assignment, you use a case study to develop a focused SOAP note based on evidence-based approaches.
TO PREPARE
· Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the insights they provide about assessing and diagnosing anxiety, obsessive compulsive, and trauma-related disorders.
· Review the Focused SOAP Note template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. There is also a Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided as a guide for Assignment expectations.
· Review the video, Case Study: Dev Cordoba. You will use this case as the basis of this Assignment. In this video, a Walden faculty member is assessing a mock patient. The patient will be represented onscreen as an avatar.
· Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
· Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
THE ASSIGNMENT
Develop a Focused SOAP Note, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:
· Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
· Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
· Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
· Plan: What is your plan for psychotherapy? What is your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters, as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also incorporate one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy.
· Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this patient if you could conduct the session again? Discuss what your next intervention would be if you could follow up with this patient. Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion, and disease prevention, taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
· Provide at least three evidence-based, peer-reviewed journal articles or evidenced-based guidelines that relate to this case to support your diagnostics and differential diagnoses. Be sure they are current (no more than 5 years old).

Perform A SWOT analysis identifying internal and external forces and trends that may impact the change initiative.
Scenario
You are the Chief Information Officer (CIO) for a local health system. Your organization held its annual strategic planning session and decided that there needed to be a change in the Emergency Departments (ED) relative to the triage process at one of the facilities. The Chief Executive Officer has suggested a pilot program utilizing telemedicine to supplement its ED services. The use of telemedicine may reduce wait times at the ED and triage non-emergent needs to the appropriate level of care (i.e., urgent care or primary care). It would also allow for more resources to be deployed for ED related services, such as on-call physicians operating remotely.
Instructions
In your role as CIO, you will need to research the use of telehealth in the ED and its implications for the organization. Draft a memo outlining the readiness of the organization to implement the change strategy. Your memo should include:
- A SWOT analysis identifying internal and external forces and trends that may impact the change initiative.
- A discussion of the challenges facing the ED based on research into the utilization practices of the ED in your community or in a community with which you are familiar.
- Recommendation of the organization’s potential readiness for the change, including any actions that should be taken to increase readiness.
Research common challenges facing Emergency Departments. In addition, research utilization practices commonly aligned with ED visits. Use information from your current facility (or one you are familiar with or can research) to develop a SWOT analysis. Your recommendation should be based on both your SWOT analysis and your research into ED challenges.
How will your portfolio risk and expected returns change after rebalancing (selling and buying) including any new security?
Using MySQL Workbench and frameworks used in class, provide advice and recommendations for the following High Net Worth Client.
Your investor is an Ultra High Net Worth client, based in Palo Alto, CA. Your investor has the following assets:
– Liquid assets – total of 95M (mainly listed on exchanges in the US):

Please provide full return and risk analysis for this portfolio. Make sure to use frameworks and metrics covered in class. Provide recommendations on rebalancing.
Details regarding what’s expected for your deliverable:
Submit one PDF file with screenshots, SQL code, results, your descriptions, explanations, recommendations, and advice :
Step1: Download data for client tickers – this should be daily pricing for all the tickers (you can use the quantmod library from R covered in class, or a different Python package) – please include your R code and screenshots of results in your PDF paper.
Step 2: Load that data (from step1) into a new table in your own database, creating a new schema. Please include a screenshot of your new table in MySQL Workbench.
Step 3: Using SQL syntax, answer 5 groups of questions listed below (you will get a total of 100 points, 20 points per question):
Here are 5 groups of questions that will help you structure your paper (worth 100 points) :
1. (20 points) What is the most recent 12M**, 18M, 24M (months) return for each of the securities (and for the entire portfolio)?
2. (20 points) What are the correlations between your assets? Are there any interesting correlations? – the most recent MySQL environment cannot execute the corr() function as of 2022, though it might be fixed and working by the time you take the assignment. If it is not working, then feel free to calculate the variance for each ticker and compare the variances side by side for the most recent few months (you decide how large time window to use).
3. (20 points) What is the most recent 12M sigma (risk) for each of the securities (and for the entire portfolio)?
4. (20 points) Based on the previous 3 questions, which holdings would you sell, which holdings would you buy? Are there any outside securities that you would recommend adding to the portfolio?
5. (20 points) How will your portfolio risk and expected returns change after rebalancing (selling and buying) including any new security?
Each of the 5 questions is worth 20 points – giving a total of 100 points. You will not get additional points for steps 1 and 2. However, failure to perform steps 1 or 2 will results in a failure of the assignment.
Make sure to provide very detailed recommendations for your client. Explain each result in a simple fashion. I will be looking for correct SQL procedures, syntax, logic, correct results for different time periods, your descriptions, explanations, recommendations, advice, and logic in your paper.
Footnotes (very important):
* make sure you use the time window (12M, 18M, 24M) for your calculations as procedure parameter/input.
**12M means 12 months = 1 year.
Explain the underwriting process and how insurers and banks operate in similar ways in taking risks in search of profit.
Complete One Question. Strict Limit of Four Double Spaced Pages + Source Page(s)
Note that four pages is relatively short so you should answer efficiently and not simply include less information. Use research, lectures from Farmers professionals, your book and other info to support your answer.
1) Consider a business strategy for the perfect P&C personal lines company. What do you think a company needs to succeed in 2022 and beyond? Perhaps pointing to something you like or don’t like about a particular company might be helpful, but this is not about your preferences—this about accomplishing goals.
2) Consider all of the risks and external forces acting on a P&C insurer’s financial management and the tools to manage those risks and forces. List five of the most important risks and/or forces (there are no exact five, but regulators would certainly be one) and explain how each one would affect the financial management of the company.
3) Think about how an insurance company chooses its risks (both assets and liabilities). Explain the underwriting process and how insurers and banks operate in similar ways in taking risks in search of profit. This is not an easy question to answer completely in four pages so be careful.
