The client admits that he is not a natural sleeper, but has been having difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night. He states that insomnia has a negative effect on his occupational performance because he naps at work due to his inability to sleep at night. The customer has previously used diphenhydramine to induce sleep, but he dislikes its morning consequences. His medical history suggests a history of opiate abuse that began when he was prescribed hydrocodone\/apap for acute pain following an ankle fracture. He had not, however, been prescribed an opiate analgesic in four years. The client admits to having around four beers to assist with sleep initiation. His mental status examination reveals a patient who is attentive and focused, maintains good eye contact, and clothes appropriately for the weather. The client denies hearing\/seeing hallucinations or having suicidal\/homicidal thoughts. Additionally, he retains his judgment, reality contact, and intelligence, and he is future-oriented.<\/p>\n This patient’s treatment<\/a> approach should focus on improving sleep quality and alleviating associated daytime deficits. However, methods for achieving these objectives differ according to the underlying etiology and patient characteristics (Krystal, Prather & Ashbrook, 2019). For example, if the client has an underlying neurologic, medical, or sleep condition, the treatment should be directed toward that disorder. Additionally, the patient’s history of opiate abuse should lead the PMHNP in prescribing an anti-abuse medication (Krystal et al., 2019). The purpose of this article is to detail the client’s treatment plan and to discuss the ethical concerns that may affect the treatment plan and communication with the client.<\/p>\n Decision Point One: <\/strong>Prescribe Trazodone: 50\u2013100 mg daily at bedtime.<\/p>\n Why did you select this decision?<\/strong><\/h3>\n I initiated the client on Trazodone because its efficacy in treating insomnia has been established. Trazodone blocks the receptors for neurotransmitters that promote wakes, such as alpha-1-adrenergic and histamine receptors (Neubauer et al<\/em>., 2018). It also inhibits serotonin reuptake resulting in sleep-enhancing effects. Sateia et al. (2017) conducted a study that showed that Trazodone increases sleep duration, reduces sleep latency, reduces onset of wake after sleep, moderately improved quality of sleep, and lessens the frequency of nighttime awakenings. NURS 6630 Assignment 2 Assessing and Treating Patients With Sleep\/Wake Disorder<\/p>\n Why I Did Not Select the Other Two Options Provided<\/strong><\/h3>\n The other two options provided were Zolpidem and Hydroxyzine. I did not select Zolpidem because of its associated adverse effects, including psychomotor impairment and dose\u2010dependent sedation, which can impair functioning and lower the quality of life (Krystal et al<\/em>., 2019). Zolpidem has a documented risk of abuse and complex sleep behaviors, making it a less ideal drug due to the client’s history of opiate abuse. I did not select Hydroxyzine due to its strong sedative properties. Krystal (2019) explains that Hydroxyzine sedative properties contribute to increased daytime sleepiness following nighttime use.
