NURS661 Study Guide for Exam 1 Final Copy•Know what Socratic Dialogue is and why it is used
Non-directive: therapists’ interpretations are thought to lead the patient into insight, integration, and change. Therapist guides pt. through a series of questions and answers to elicit automatic thoughts and assumption and examines the logic and evidence that relates to them. The therapist asks specific questions derived primarily from restatement of the individuals’ own words as the major technique where the individual can self-discover insight which leads to subsequent changes. Use of guided discovery using SD appears relaxed and nonconfrontational, with the therapist genuinely listening and reflecting what the patient is saying. The SD process includes seven types of questions: memory, translation, interpretation, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This type of therapy helps the patient find the answer for him or herself. This is a hallmark of CBT.
Cornerstone of CBT, therapist guides the pt through a series of questions and clarification to a point of self-discovery. Therapist doesn’t come out and say what they want to they want

•Know what the HPA axis and why is it important
The HPA axis regulates cortisol, a potent hormone that inhibits growth, immune responses, and
inflammatory responses.
Plays a role in ACTH, it is important because the pathway of the HPA axis results in production
of cortisol. ACTH comes from the anterior pituitary (above the brainstem). HPA plays a role in fight or flight, stress hormone. Chronic stress leads to activation of the HPA axis. Examples of chronic stress include constant work troubles, debt, and other situations that arise in everyday life.
Adrenaline (Epinephrine) is a stimulant that causes the body to prepare to fight. You want more blood in the muscles and a higher blood pressure to allow your body to resist a hit. To get
the additional blood in your muscles, your body takes it from the frontal lobe.
Many people make the mistake of substituting 'hippocampus' for 'hypothalamus.' The hypothalamus is the control center of the brain and autonomic body systems, and it is a component of the HPA axis. The three components of the HPA axis is : hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenals.
The various chemicals released by the adrenal glands damages the body. The system functions best in short bursts, providing energy and strength at the expense of some damage. Chronis activation of the HPA axis can damage the body and lead to memory impairment, heart problems
and wearing down of the heart and muscles.
Hypothalamic pituitary and adrenal glands. Plays a role in the body’s response to stress. The pathway of the axis results to the reduction of cortisol. •Know what cortisol is and how PTSD affects cortisol production
A person with PTSD has chronically lower levels of cortisol and, when and if traumatized again, a blunted cortisol response occurs with a quicker return to baseline. Cortisol is a stress
hormone.
