This document is a pre-class assignment for NUR 233, Concepts of Mental Health Nursing at Hondros College of Nursing, specifically for Week Three. It’s designed for students to prepare for a lesson focused on a pediatric patient, Isiah Bowman, a 10-year-old recently diagnosed with ADHD.
This assignment is crucial for students to begin applying developmental theories and health promotion concepts to a real-world clinical scenario *before* the in-class lesson. It serves as a foundation for understanding Isiah’s case and preparing for discussions about appropriate nursing interventions. It’s used to activate prior knowledge of development, health promotion, and patient education.
This assignment does *not* provide answers or solutions, nor does it replace the full lesson or required readings. It requires students to independently analyze Isiah’s situation using frameworks from Giddens textbook chapters.
The full assignment includes: a detailed patient scenario, tables for comparing Isiah’s development to normal expectations across Freud, Erikson, Piaget, and Kohlberg’s theories, sections to assess physical, social/emotional, cognitive, communication, and adaptive development, and a prompt to consider how developmental assessment informs a treatment plan. It also includes a section on health promotion and prioritizing care for Isiah and his family. This preview does not include the completed tables or answers to the questions.
