Treatment of Sleep/Wake Disorders The power of sleep to heal the body cannot be underestimated. Most research indicates that 7–8 hours of sleep are a minimum that people need to stay healthy. Clients who come to the PMHNP’s office frequently complain of sleep problems. It is estimated that 10–20% of patients report some type of sleeping problem. In this Discussion, you will analyze the diagnostic criteria and evidence-based psychotherapy and psychopharmacologic treatment for sleep/wake disorders.

  3. Describe the goal of the proposed policy.
  4. What is the supporting evidence for implementing this policy?
  5. How is this policy to be achieved?
  6. Who is this policy intended to help?
  7. Which agencies will implement this policy?
  8. How cost-effective do you expect this policy to be?
  9. How well do you anticipate this policy will be accepted, given the priorities, culture, values, and political climate?
  10. What are your strategies for overcoming barriers in implementing the policy?

SLP Assignment Expectations

Length: Assignment should be from 3 to 4 pages (750 to 1000 words) in length. Assessment and Grading: Your paper will be assessed based on the performance assessment grading rubric that is linked within the course. Review it before you begin working on the assignment. The following guidance appears only in Module 1, but it applies to the assignments throughout the course: File format: Your work should be prepared using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel depending upon the assignment instructions. If an assignment requires video or voice recordings, use media formats that are supported by MyTLC Courses as noted on the Trident Support page. In-text citations and references: Be sure that all information and ideas in your papers are supported by in-text citations and corresponding references at the end of the paper. Scholarly sources: At least two references must be included from academic sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles) and include required readings. Online sources must be limited to credible professional and scholarly publications such as peer-reviewed journal articles, e-books, or specific Web pages on websites from a university, government, or nonprofit organization (these have extensions .edu, .gov, or .org). Presenting consumer sources such as e-magazines, newspapers, Wikipedia, WebMD, or other commercial websites (these have extensions .com) as references is not appropriate. Scholarly writing: Use an academic paper format, not an essay based on your opinions or experience. Avoid using the first person in writing. Synthesize what you learned from the sources you read; write papers in your own words; and cite sources within the text, as well as include a properly formatted reference list. APA format is recommended, but you may use another standardized format. Use of direct quotes: Use of direct quotes should be avoided, as the focus of the assignments is critical thinking. Only use direct quotes when preserving the exact words of an author is necessary. In the rare instance that directly quoted material is used, it must be properly cited (with quotation marks and page numbers in the in-text citation); quotes should not exceed 5%-10% of the total paper content.
