For three months, a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who specialized in Developmental Disability Psychiatry sought to decrease same-class polypharmacy, and benzodiazepine use. A standardized tool, the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), was used to assess impact of medication changes on behavior problems. Caregivers answered a question comparing the attentiveness of the specialized PMHNP compared to the attentiveness of previous psychiatric providers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, and 1-sample t-tests. 000007619 650__ $$aQuality Improvement $$039456 000007619 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000007619 7001_ $$aDeisenroth, Lauren K.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000007619 8564_ $$9d85231ca-7fe4-4105-b269-bb3c73354412$$s283750$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7619/files/Deisenroth.Lauren.2017.pdf 000007619 905__ $$a/rest/prod/zp/38/wd/20/zp38wd206 000007619 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7619$$pstudent-work 000007619 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
