STUDY GUIDE FOR MEDICATION

Assigned psychotropic medication name:
Paliperidone

Psychosis and schizophrenia greatly impact the brain’s normal processes, which interfere with the ability to think clearly. When symptoms of these disorders are uncontrolled, patients may struggle to function in daily life. However, patients often thrive when properly diagnosed and treated under the close supervision of a psychiatric mental health practitioner. For this Assignment, you will develop a study guide for an assigned psychotropic agent for treating patients with Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders. You will share your study guide with your colleagues

· Research your assigned psychotropic medication agent using the Walden Library. Then, develop an organizational scheme for the important information about the medication.

Create a study guide for your assigned psychotropic medication agents. 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 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

Research Article

  

Week 6 Critical Appraisals of One (1) key study (2 to 3-pages) excluding first page and references and Appendices.

Article to write on

 ” Relevance of Depression among adolescents in the American society”

 Learning Objectives: 2, 5, 6To ensure students utilize quality studies and research, the implementation of a Rapid Critical Appraisal (RCA) can assist in evaluating key research information to determine its strength and reliability.Objectives: The purpose of this assignment is for students to select an RCA that best applies to current research, a study, or other evidence, to validate its content. Utilize one of the RCAs made available in Week 6, or an RCA of their own choosing. Readings – Beginning in Week 5, please read:

  1. Melnyk &      Fineout-Overholt (2014) Chapters 4-6
  2. Optional:      Explore other sites and tools for other RCAs

Preparation

  1. Choose a Rapid      Critical Appraisal from Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt. Alternatively, you      can choose an RCA from another source but you must share that source.
  2. Evaluate a      chosen article using the selected RCA.
  3. Prepare your      paper (2-3 pages).  For submission, title your file:  “Last      Name_RCA”
    1. Construct your       2-3 page paper based on rubric criteria.
    2. Attach your       RCA as an Appendix (APA format)
    3. Don’t forget       your APA format and references!

Module 1: Indigenous Religions Overview.   

Explain the significance of ancestors for indigenous religions. Provide at least one specific example of this significance to support your response.  Identify key characteristics of leadership in indigenous regions and how this understanding of leadership differs from Western religions.

EXPLORING EBP QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

To prepare: the key requirements are to identify a hypothetical practice problem as the focus of an evidence-based quality improvement project; a hypothetical health care setting for the project based on investigating actual sites; stakeholders for project approval and implementation within health care settings; and a presentation outlining the basic steps of a specific framework/model for translating research and evidence to improved practice.

The Assignment:Part 1: Key Project Elements

Complete your p a p e r of 6–8 pages, plus cover page and references page, explaining your investigation of three hypothetical practice sites for an Evidence based practice QI project.

Part 2: Implementation Science Presentation

Complete your PowerPoint presentation of 3–5 slides, plus cover and reference slides, to inform hypothetical stakeholders.

discussion 3 cl

 

discuss a very brief description (one paragraph for the group session– do NOT include the actual 12-steps) to include the following: Official name of the program or group you observed. 

19-year-old female college student to the hospital for fevers.

You are admitting a 19-year-old female college student to the hospital for fevers. Using the patient information provided, choose a culture unfamiliar to you and describe what would be important to remember while you interview this patient. Discuss the health care support systems available in your community for someone of this culture. If no support systems are available in your community, identify a national resource.

In pediatrics, clinicians are constantly searching for ways to refrain from or reduce the amount of pain we inflict on patients. That may involve less frequent lab work or making the choice to leave out a PIV that is lost. Though efforts are made to reduce pain in healthcare settings, we are not able to guarantee painless experiences. One of the most notable examples of unavoidable pain is childhood immunizations. Since I am a current pediatric nurse and in the primary care pediatric NP track, this is and will even more so, become a common practice issue for me. I wanted to figure out what methods of distraction work for infants when receiving immunizations. Using Richardson and colleagues’ concept (1995, as cited by Davies, 2011) I created the PICO question: In infants, do distraction techniques during immunization administration result in lower pain scores when compared to no intervention? 

Using the CINAHL and MEDLINE combined database, I searched the terms “distraction + immunization”. 106 articles resulted. After adding the term “infant” and excluding duplicates, reviews, and studies that involve study groups other than infants,10 articles remained. I used search techniques recommended by Stillwell et al. (2010). I searched using relevant keywords from my PICO question and used infant as my final limit on the articles that resulted. To improve my database searches, I could ask a librarian for help, use subject terms, or increase the publication date range on my search (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023, pp. 62–87).
