Mental Health Co-morbidity Paper
66 year old male who has early-onset schizophrenia, for which he has been
medicated with various antipsychotics for the course of his illness, most
recently with Zyprexa for the last 15 years. At his last visit you detected
changes in his cognitive status consistent with Alzheimer’s Dementia. You
note that he has a family history of dementia.
Purpose: 7-10 page referenced paper To explore the assessment and treatment
issues where mental illness complicates treatment for an existing chronic
illness in an older adult.
Questions to consider while writing your paper:
1. What is the major area of concern for treatment of these co-morbid
conditions? HINT the issue could relate to use of pharmaceuticals in
treating both diseases; ie one may be contraindicated OR could relate to the
seriousness of the combined disease states OR could relate to safety issues
for the older patient.
2. What would be your plan of care—include all treatments both
pharmacological and non-pharmacological with rationale.
3. What is the state of the evidence in treatments of these co-morbid
conditions?
4. Are there ethical issues you must consider? What are they? |

stroke. FDA did not approve the indication of zyprexa in pts w/dementia..
这是我觉得最主要的问题吧.. |
