THE ASSIGNMENT: STUDY GUIDE FOR MEDICATION TREATMENT SCHIZOPHRENIA SPECTRUM AND OTHER PSYCHOSIS DISORDERS
Assigned Medication: Lurasidone
Create a study guide for your assigned psychotropic medication agents Lurasidone. Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references, and you should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide should be informed by the FDA-approved and Evidenced-Based, Clinical Practice Guidelines Research but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources.
Areas of importance you should address, but are not limited to, are:
• Title page
• Description of the Psychopharmacological medication agent including brand and generic names and appropriate FDA indication uses
• Any supporting, valid and reliable research for non-FDA uses
• Drug classification
• The medication mechanism of action
• The medication pharmacokinetics
• The medication pharmacodynamics
• Mechanism of Action
• Appropriate dosing, administration route, and any considerations for dosing alterations
• Considerations of use and dosing in specific specialty populations to consider children, adolescents, elderly, pregnancy, suicidal behaviors, etc.
• Definition of Half-life, why half-life is important, and the half-life for your assigned medication
• Side effects/adverse reaction potentials
• Contraindications for use including significant drug to drug interactions
• Overdose Considerations
• Diagnostics and labs monitoring
• Comorbidities considerations
• Legal and ethical considerations
• Pertinent patient education considerations
• Reference Page
Use an outline format with references not paper format and include tables/graphics- the more the better. This should not be in the format of an APA paper other than your title page and reference page.
The instructions include a list of all required elements and pages. Include everything exactly as explained in the assignment instructions.
Any required elements or pages (including the title page and reference page) not included will result in point deductions.
For references: you must use FDA-approved and Evidenced-Based, Clinical Practice Guidelines Research but also use at least three other scholarly resources. There is a minimum of 5 academic resources.
