Assignment: Assessing and Diagnosing Patients with Schizophrenia, Other Psychotic Disorders, and Medication-Induced Movement Disorders
Psychotic disorders and schizophrenia are some of the most complicated and challenging diagnoses in the DSM. The symptoms of psychotic disorders may appear quite vivid in some patients; with others, symptoms may be barely observable. Additionally, symptoms may overlap among disorders. For example, specific symptoms, such as neurocognitive impairments, social problems, and illusions may exist in patients with schizophrenia but are also contributing symptoms for other psychotic disorders.For this Assignment, you will analyze a case study related to schizophrenia, another psychotic disorder, or a medication-induced movement disorder.
To Prepare:
· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about assessing and diagnosing psychotic disorders. Consider whether experiences of psychosis-related symptoms are always indicative of a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Think about alternative diagnoses for psychosis-related symptoms.
· Download the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. Also review the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Exemplar to see an example of a completed evaluation document.
· Select a specific video case study to use for this Assignment from the Video Case Selections choices in the Learning Resources. View your assigned video case and review the additional data for the case in the “Case History Reports” document, keeping the requirements of the evaluation template in mind.
· Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
· Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
· Identify at least three possible differential diagnoses for the patient.
For the assignment:
Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate 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.
· Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? 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.).
· Include an introduction, purpose statement, reflection, and conclusion

Explain how you would more effectively market the global product in that country.
Our behavior as consumers is also influenced by our culture and the subcultures we belong to. Refer back to the Marketing Pitfalls Section 14.6 (Chapter 14) when addressing the following:
· Identify a similar example of an unsuccessful market entry by a global product. Include a copy of the ad or example in your paper.
· Describe the reason why it failed as related to consumer behavior, culture, and subculture.
· Explain how you would more effectively market the global product in that country. Refer to at least two influential elements in consumer decision-making (learning, memory, perception, motivation, attitudes, lifestyle and values, groups, family, social media, income and social class) that would help you market that global product in that region more successfully.

Identify the relationship between happiness and the experience of meaning versus materials.
Consumers experience a range of affective responses to products and marketing messages. Affective responses can be mild (evaluations), moderate (moods), or strong (emotions). Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions. Refer to the article The Psychology of Happiness and address the following:
· Identify the relationship between happiness and the experience of meaning versus materials.
· Explain whether money brings happiness, when it brings happiness, and to what degree.
· Discuss two strategies that can increase our happiness.
Describe the stages in consumer decision-making.
Part A
In the cognitive model of decision-making, which stems from rational perspective, the consumer carefully goes through a series of steps and integrates as much information as possible to arrive at a satisfactory decision (learned in Chapter 9, from the course text).
Describe the stages in consumer decision-making. Then, discuss how each of the following items impacts the process of decision-making. For each item, support your discussion with a personal example of purchasing a product or service:
· Learning and attitudes
· Motivation and values
· The power of self, lifestyle, and personality
Does scientific evidence support this approach? Why or why not?
Consider the following scenario:
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, state Governors took significant steps to protect residents, including the most vulnerable populations, nursing home residents. In Oklahoma, Governor Kevin Stitt issued a policy that required any “staffer” entering a nursing home to produce a negative COVID-19 test result.
Place yourself in the role of a nursing home administrator in this situation, and respond to the following:
1. What are the gaps in this policy? (Policy is italicized above).
2. Does scientific evidence support this approach? Why or why not?
3. Because this is mandated by the state, your facility must comply. Briefly explain how you will ensure compliance while maintaining the integrity of evidence-based practice.
4. How is the relationship between science and politics investigated?
5. Review an evidence-based article that speaks on how scientific research has been used for political gain or advancement of policy creation and implementation.

What kind of analytics and machine learning algorithms can be used by Champo Carpets to solve their problems and in general, for value creation?
Case Summary: Champo Carpets is one of the largest carpet manufacturing companies based in India, with customers across the world, including some of the most reputed stores and catalog companies. Champo Carpets is based out of Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, which is one of the most famous clusters of carpet weaving in India. This cluster is spread over 1,000 sq. km and comprises many villages and districts in and around it. The company is a vertically integrated manufacturer and exporter of carpets and floor coverings, with more than 52 years of existence. At the beginning of 2020, the company employed 1,500 people with a capacity to produce 200,000 pieces of carpets and floor coverings per month. As part of sales and marketing, Champo Carpets shared sample designs with its potential customers, based on which the customer placed an order. The sample design selection was done in various ways and the process itself is costly and elaborate. To capture industry trends, a team of the company visited various trade shows and events and sent samples to the client as per the latest fiber and color trends. However, their sample-to-order conversion ratio was low compared to the industry average. This had cost repercussions as well as lost opportunities. The company identified the cause as inaccurate targeting of products to their customers. It subsequently implemented an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application and has been capturing data at every point of production as well as sales. They believe this accumulated data can help target their products accurately to the right clients and design an appropriate recommender system.
Learning Objectives The primary objective of the case is to illustrate how machine learning algorithms can be used to manage business-to-business (B2B) sales. The learning objectives include the following:
