Advance Pharmacology Case Study

Chief complaint: “I’m here for a medication refill because I ran out of my medicines”.

HPI: Mrs. Allen is a 68-year-old African American who presents to the clinic for prescription refills. The patient indicates that she has noticed shortness of breath which started about 3 months ago. The SOB gets worse with exertion, especially when she is walking fast, and it is resolved when she is resting. She reports that she is also bothered by shortness of breath that wakes her up intermittently during her sleep. Her symptoms of shortness of breath resolve after sitting upright on 3 pillows. She also has lower leg edema pitting 1+ which started 2 weeks ago. She indicates that she often feels light headed at times with intermittent syncope episodes while going up a flight of stairs, but it resolves after sitting down to rest. She has not tried any over the counter medications at home.
She started taking her medications, but failed to refill the prescriptions because she cannot afford the medications as she only works part-time and lives alone. In addition, she reports that she does not think taking all these medications would help her condition anyway.

Assessing and Treating Pediatric Patients With Mood Disorders

Assignment: Assessing
and Treating Pediatric Patients With Mood Disorders
When pediatric patients present with mood
disorders, the process of assessing, diagnosing, and treating them can be quite
complex. Children not only present with different signs and symptoms than adult
patients with the same disorders, they also metabolize medications much
differently. Yet, there may be times when the same psychopharmacologic
treatments may be used in both pediatric and adult cases with major depressive
disorders. As a result, psychiatric nurse practitioners must exercise caution
when prescribing psychotropic medications to these patients. For this
Assignment, as you examine the patient case study in this week’s Learning
Resources, consider how you might assess and treat pediatric patients
presenting with mood disorders.
To prepare for this
Assignment:
Review this week’s Learning Resources, including the
Medication Resources indicated for this week.
Reflect on the psychopharmacologic treatments you might
recommend for the assessment and treatment of pediatric patients requiring
antidepressant therapy.

The Assignment: 5
pages
Examine Case Study: An African American
Child Suffering From Depression. You will be asked to make three decisions
concerning the medication to prescribe to this patient. Be sure to consider
factors that might impact the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
processes.
At each decision point, you should evaluate all
options before selecting your decision and moving throughout the exercise.
Before you make your decision, make sure that you have researched each option
and that you evaluate the decision that you will select. Be sure to research
each option using the primary literature.

your rationale with a minimum of five academic resources. While you may use the
course text to support your rationale, it will not count toward the resource
requirement. You should be utilizing the primary and secondary literature.

Week 4: Therapy for
Patients With Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Posted on: Monday, June 21,
2021 2:00:00 AM EDT
Hello Students,
This week, as you examine antidepressant therapies, you explore
the assessment and treatment of three populations: pediatrics, adults, and
geriatrics. The focus of your assessment tool, a decision tree, will
specifically center on one of the most vulnerable populations, pediatrics.
Please remember, you must also consider the ethical and legal implications of
these therapies.

NB: – Minimum of five academic resourdes
– Include a tittle pae, introduction, in-texte headings by answering the questions asked, and a conclusion.
