The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of and ability to analyze a root cause of a specific safety concern in a health care setting. You will create a plan to improve the safety of patients related to the safety quality issue presented in your Assessment Supplement PDF in Assessment 1. Based on the results of your analysis, using the literature and professional best practices as well as the existing resources at your chosen health care setting, provide a rationale for your plan. Use the Root-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan [DOCX] Download Root-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan [DOCX]template to help you to stay organized and concise.

Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score. Analyze the root cause of a specific patient safety issue in an organization. Apply evidence-based and best-practice strategies to address the safety issue. Create a feasible, evidence-based safety improvement plan to address a specific patient safety issue. Identify organizational resources that could be leveraged to improve your plan. Communicate in writing that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.

CASE STUDY: Patient 2: Jessica is a 32-year-old female that was recently diagnosed with ADHD. She was referred to your office by the psychologist that completed the ADHD assessment. Jessica has always struggled in school and jobs. She is often “written up” at her job for not completing tasks that are assigned to her. She becomes easily distracted by her other co-workers. She finds herself spending a lot of time conversing with colleagues. Her colleagues are frequently annoyed with her for constantly talking to them and interrupting their work and tasks. Jessica is here to discuss medication options to treat ADHD. Disscussion Post: ADHD is defined in the DSM-5 as persistent, age-inappropriate, and impairing symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsiveness (Isfandnia et al., 2024). In Jessica’s case, discussing non-stimulant medication for ADHD involves understanding their mechanism of action and weighing their benefits and disadvantages. Mechanism of Action of Non-stimulant Medications Non-stimulant medications like atomoxetine or guanfacine primarily influence the brain’s norepinephrine levels, which helps regulate attention and impulse control. Unlike stimulant medications, they do not directly impact dopamine levels, which can reduce the risk of abuse but may result in less immediate effect. Why Is Non-Stimulant Medication Appropriate for Jessica? Considering Jessica’s struggle with focus and distraction, non-stimulant might be appropriate if there are concerns about addiction abuse potential, or if Jessica has a personal or family history of substance use disorder. Non-stimulants may also be considered if stimulant medications cause intolerable side effects, or if Jessica has anxiety, which stimulants can sometimes exacerbate. Advantages of non-stimulants. Lower Abuse potential: These medications have less risk for addiction, which is important for patients with a history of substance abuse. Longer Lasting Effects: Non-stimulants typically have longer-acting benefits, meaning fewer fluctuations in focus or attention throughout the day. Lower risk of exacerbating anxiety: Non-stimulants are less likely to cause anxiety or jitteriness as they do not primarily affect dopamine. Disadvantages of non-stimulants Slower onset of action: Unlike stimulants, non-stimulants may take several weeks to show improvement, which may not suit patients who need rapid symptom relief. Less Potent: Stimulants generally show stronger effects in managing ADHD symptoms, and some patients may not respond as well to non-stimulants. Comparison To Stimulants Advantages of Stimulants According to Bruno et al. (2022) “Stimulants are considered the most effective treatment for ADHD and are generally recommended as first-line pharmacological treatment; however, a significant minority of individuals may have an inadequate response, do not tolerate or have a contraindication to these medicines Some of the advantages of stimulant medications include; rapid onset of action and high efficacy for symptom control Disadvantages of Stimulant: This may include; a higher potential for abuse and dependency and a higher probability to exacerbate comorbid conditions like anxiety or tics. Park et al. (2024) explained that psychostimulants cannot be used in adequate doses owing to adverse effects, such as the exacerbation of tic symptoms and sleep disorders, despite psychostimulants showing partial efficacy. Legal Considerations: Stimulant medications are classified as controlled substances, Monitoring for misuse or diversion is a legal concern. Jessica’s medical record should include documentation of risk assessments for substance use. Ethical Consideration: There is an ethical concern when considering Jessica’s well-being and potential side effects. Stimulants. While effective, could exacerbate anxiety, impacting her overall mental health. So, non-stimulants may provide a safer option despite delayed efficacy. Social Implications: Jessica’s social interactions at work might improve with better symptom control. However, nonstimulants might delay symptom relief, prolonging the period in which she remains disruptive at work, and affecting her relationship with colleagues and job performance. The con stance emphasizes that while non-stimulant medications reduce some risks, like addiction, their slower efficacy, less robust symptom control, and potential side effects need to be carefully weighed against the advantages of stimulant medications.
