Assignment 1: Diagnostic Skill Application I

For this assignment, you are provided with two case studies (attached).

Instructions

For each case study, you will complete a descriptive diagnosis using tools you select from the list of assessment tools provided later in the assignment. Each case requires the following information to be addressed:

1. Identify presenting concerns from the client's perspective as described in the video and accompanying narrative. Include relevant cultural and systemic considerations that frame the client's presentation.

2. Describe what information is still needed to make a differential diagnosis and evaluate how at least one assessment tool, which is listed in the List of Assessment Tools resource, will aid in obtaining that information. The Differential Diagnosis Decision Tree may be helpful to guide this process.

3. Present DSM-5 and ICD-10 codes, including relevant V and Z codes.

4. Provide a descriptive rationale for the DSM diagnosis that best fits the information provided including relevant ICD codes. This should be written in a narrative form using complete sentences. Support your rationale with scholarly sources. Optional readings found in the course syllabus may be particularly relevant.

5. Determine if a medication consultation is appropriate and provide a rationale with support from scholarly sources.
