NRNP 6665 Week8 Assignment

STUDY GUIDE FORUM

MY ASSIGNED topic is Tics and Tourette’s Disorder.

Abnormal brain development or damage at an early age can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. Within this group of disorders, some are resolvable with appropriate and timely interventions, either pharmacological or nonpharmacological, while other disorders are chronic and need to be managed throughout the lifespan.
For this Assignment, you will develop a study guide for an assigned disorder and share it with your colleagues. In sum, these study guides will be a powerful tool in preparing for your certification exam.

To Prepare
• Your Instructor will assign you to a specific neurodevelopmental disorder from the DSM-5-TR .

• Differential diagnoses
• Incidence
• Development and course
• Prognosis
• Considerations related to culture, gender, age
• Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects
