Newly Updated Exam Elaborations Questions with Answers Explanations

, Midterm 6635 PMHNP Walden University Exam Year 2021



QUESTION 1
1. Select the neurotransmitter involved in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in
children and adolescents based on the common comorbidity of tic disorders.
A Norepinephrine

B
GABA
.
C
Dopamine
.
D Acetylcholine

Answer:
Dopamine
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is linked to defects in the cortico-striatal-thalamic-cortical (CSTC)
circuitry, which may be linked to neurotransmitter dysregulation throughout this network. Serotonin,
dopamine, glutamate, and -aminobutyric acid (GABA) are the main neurotransmitters throughout the
CSTC.

Compulsive behaviors linked to OCD are likely the product of a related dopaminergic reward
system dysfunction. Continuous ventral striatum activation may lead to an undirected expectation of
reward. Anxiety and a desire to fill the gap are caused by unfulfilled expectations.

Answer:

, Midterm 6635 PMHNP Walden University Exam Year 2021

Opioid analgesics are drugs that function on opioid receptors that are used to alleviate pain. Weak opioid
analgesics are often used to describe compound analgesics that combine acetaminophen with low levels
of codeine or tramadol. Opioid analgesics, which include oxycodone, hydrocodone, and codeine, can be
used to relieve mild to extreme acute pain.

Opioids are medications that are chemically similar to, but more potent than, the body's own pain
relievers (endorphins). They operate by binding to receptors on cells, primarily in the brain, spinal cord, and
gastrointestinal tract.

. abuse
B Substance
. abuse
C
Surgical pain
.
D Partner
. betrayal

Answer:
A.
Step-by-Step explanation
The correct answer is;
A. Sexual abuse D.
Partner betrayal

Substance abuse and surgical pain can cause dissociative amnesia.
Dissociative amnesia is a disorder in which a person loses track of vital details from their past. This
forgetfulness can be limited to a few key areas (thematic), or it might encompass a large portion of a
person's life history and/or identity (general).
Drug and alcohol usage not only raises the risk of having a co-occurring or comorbid substance use
disorder, but it can also intensify dissociative amnesia symptoms.
Dissociative disorders are essential to the pain physician because persistent pain can be
accompanied with dissociative symptoms. A disruption in the integrated functions of
consciousness, memory, identity, or perception characterizes dissociative disorders.
