Running Head: WEEK 8 ASSIGNMENT 2 1




Assessing and Treating Patients with Sleep/Wake Disorders

Course: NURS-6630- Psychopharmalogical Approaches to Treat Psychopathology

Week 8: Assignment 2

Walden University

, WEEK 8 ASSIGNMENT 2 2


Introduction

The provided case study is of 31 years old male who presented to the office with a chief

complaint of insomnia. Patient reported progressive worsening of his insomnia symptoms. It is

difficult for patient to fall asleep and to stay asleep at night. The symptoms started to appear

when the patient suffered from an emotional trauma (sudden loss of his fiancé). Patient is a

forklift operator at a local chemical company and insomnia is affecting his professional

performance. The patient used diphenhydramine but does not like the way it makes him feel the

morning after. Past medical history indicated opiate abuse which started when the patient was

prescribed hydrocodone/apap for pain management (as he broke his ankle in skiing accident).

However, patient has not received prescription for opiate analgesic in 4 years. Currently patient

is using alcohol (four beers prior to bed) to fall asleep. Patient is alert and future oriented. Patient

denied auditory and visual hallucinations. Reality contact, insight and judgment are all intact.

Patient denied suicidal/ homicidal ideation.

The pertinent positive information that will impact the decision making when prescribing

medication for this patient includes his past medical history (related to opiate abuse),

consumption of alcohol, complaining about sleep issues after suffering from emotional trauma

(sudden loss of his fiancé) and complaints regarding the after effect of diphenhydramine. It is

also important to consider the employment status of patient as insomnia has affected his

professional performance, therefore such medications would be recommended that can improve

his professional performance by improving his concentration and cognitive abilities.
