1.  Diagnose the following scenario:  Mark’s parents notice, one night at dinner, that Mark (16 years old) is acting “weird.”  He was unusually giddy, talkative and seemed to jump from topic to topic, often not making any sense at all.  At first they thought it was funny, but then his behavior became down-right bizzare.  His dad even jokingly asked, “what have you been smoking?”   His mom began to worry later and went to his room to check on him.  He was supposed to be doing his homework, but he was just lying on the bed with his eyes open, mumbling and would not respong or, if he did, would respond very slowly to his mom’s questions.  His mom called his dad in and he noticed that Mark’s pupils were dialated.  This is when they knew that Mark was on something.  They rushed him to the emergency room.  The doctors knew that it was adrug reaction, but they weren’t sure of the drug.  They finally figured out that mark had found an old prescription of OxcyContin, an opioid,  that had been prescribed after his dad had a minor surgery.  Mark had never used drugs before and he was not delirius or having hallucinations.  What is his ICD-10-CM code.

2.  What does the term “Comorbid” mean?”  Give a very brief example.

3.  Todd has been smoking Cannabis (Marijuana) for 20 years.  He used to smoke it only on weekends for recreation, but now practically chain smokes cannabis to get the same effect.  He has tried to stop many times before, has lost jobs because of it and has been arrested several times.   He has been married and divorced twice because his spouses could not abide the constant interruptions that cannabis use caused.  What would his ICD-10 diagnosis be?

4.  What does the term “assigned gender” mean?

5.  The Smiths had a child that was born with both sets of genitalia (intersex).  They decided to have the small underdeveloped penis removed and to raise the child as a girl.   At about 4 years of age, they began to have trouble with their daughter because she wanted to dress like a boy, play with typically boy type toys and hated the long hair that her parents made her keep.  Diagnostically, what might the Smiths be dealing with?

6.  For the scenario in question 5 (the Smith’s child) what would the typical developmental course be and what are some ways that the parents might help help mitigate some of the distress for the child?

Discussions are fundamental to shared learning, so please be sure to participate early and often!

After you have completed the Reading, and without reviewing your classmate’s responses, post your initial response to the following Discussion. Your post should be at least 350 words in length and should extend the Discussion of the group supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources.

After you have submitted your initial post, take time to review your classmates’ responses and to respond specifically and substantially to at least two of them. Refer to the Discussion Rubric in Course Resources for specific grading explanation.

Animal research is highly controversial, and yet it is often used when studying learning and behavior. How does animal research provide useful information applicable to human beings? Discuss the importance of animal research in better understanding any of the following issues (or provide your own example):

• addiction
• depression/anxiety
• phobias
• response to rewards or punishment

In this unit, you have explored the idea that learning serves a valuable purpose to the organism. It often increases survival and provides improved quality of life opportunities. In these ways, learning is “adaptive.” In this Discussion, describe an example of how learning can be “maladaptive.”
