Create a 3- to 4-page (excluding visual elements) Medication Study Guide for your assigned psychotropic medication agents that may be utilized by you and colleagues for study. Your medication guide should be in the form of an outline and should include a title page, citations, and references. You should incorporate visual elements, such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative!

Any supporting, valid, and reliable research for non-FDA uses

Drug classification

The medication mechanism of action

The medication pharmacokinetics

The medication pharmacodynamics

Appropriate dosing, administration route, and any considerations for dosing alterations

Considerations of use and dosing in specific specialty populations, such as children, adolescents, elderly, pregnant people, those exhibiting suicidal behaviors, etc.

Definition of half-life, why half-life is important, and the half-life for your assigned medication

Side effects/adverse reactions potential

Discuss clinical concerns with EPS and Tardive Dyskinesia

Note: Be sure to include screening tools that would be utilized.

Contraindications for use including significant drug to drug interactions

Overdose considerations

Diagnostics and labs monitoring comorbidities considerations

Legal, ethical, and social considerations

Pertinent patient education considerations

References page

Support your rationale with a minimum of three (3) academic resources.
