PTSD compares with depression in the level of disability it imposes on patients with the disorder. Individuals fail to realize their potentials for career development, marriage, and education. Decreased productivity leads to a financial loss of more than 3 billion per year. This figure does not include economic loss associated with the failure of patients with PTSD to achieve their educational or career goals. Women in a health care maintenance organization with high scores on the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist had more than twice the adjusted total annual median cost ( 1,283) of care (i.e., outpatient, specialty care, primary care, pharmacy and mental health care costs) than those with a low score ( 609).

(2) You, the teacher of physical chemistry must decide how to apply this large amount of information and the physical chemistry knowledge that you already possess. You should make these decisions consciously, based on the situation that you face and on your goals and objectives for the course. This essay is primarily an attempt by a retired professor of physical chemistry to comment on some of the decisions he has made in a career of four decades. 

Practice standards. Practice standards are needed to ensure consistent, comprehensive pharmacy services for each patient. According to the mission statement, the goal is for each patient to be free of drug-related problems. And drug products must be procured, prepared, and distributed cost-effectively, efficiently, and safely. The standards must be designed so that the pharmacist is reasonably able to maintain them. Career advancement opportunities should be made available within clinical practice and not be confined to a managerial track. Career ladders should be constructed to institutionalize and formalize department expectations for the development of clinical practice skills.
