Week 3 discussion 505

To be successful this week, complete all of the required readings, and consider how you would identify and treat the differentials associated with stress and anxiety. Drawing on your clinical experience, describe a patient presenting with signs and symptoms of anxiety and/or stress in early childhood, school age, or adolescence. Respond to the following prompts: What diagnosis did you develop, and what differentials did you consider? How did you and your preceptor determine the diagnosis? How did you explain the diagnosis to the patient and their family? How did you incorporate considerations of gender and culture into your treatment plan and communication? Support your initial and reply posts with at least 1 current (published within the last 5 years) scholarly citation and associated reference in addition to your textbook.
