Post a 275-word response in which you address the following:
Provide the full DSM-5 diagnosis for the client. Remember, a full diagnosis should include the name of the
disorder, ICD-10-CM code, specifiers, severity, and the Z codes (other conditions that may be a focus of clinical
attention). Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most recent 12 months.
Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis.
Explain why it is important to use an interprofessional approach in treatment. Identity specific professionals you
would recommend for the team, and describe how you might best utilize or focus their services.
Explain how you would use the client’s family to support recovery. Include specific behavioral examples.
Select and explain an evidence-based, focused treatment approach that you might use in your part of the
overall treatment plan.
Explain how culture and diversity influence these disorders. Consider how gender, age, socioeconomic status,
sexual orientation, and/or ethnicity/race affect the experience of living with an eating disorder.
Note: You do not need to include an APA reference to the DSM-5 in your response. However, your response
should clearly be informed by the DSM-5, demonstrating an understanding of the risks and benefits of
treatment to the client. You do need to include an APA reference for the treatment approach and any other
resources you use to support your response.
