PRESCRIBING FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

PRESCRIBING FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

TO PREPARE

Your instructor assigned you bipolar disorder research on this Assignment.
Use the Walden library to research evidence-based treatments for your assigned disorder in children and adolescents. You will need to recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating this disorder in children and adolescents.

THE ASSIGNMENT (1–2 PAGES)

Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating your assigned disorder in children and adolescents.
Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?

I have some advice for you regarding the FDA approved and the off-label drug. Pease discuss the risks and benefits of the drugs that you picked, not risks and benefits of FDA approved and off-label drugs in general. For example, if you picked Haloperidol as your FDA approved drug and Buspirone as the off-label drug, explain risks and benefits of those two drugs.

Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this disorder and, if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not, explain what information you would need to take into consideration.
Support your reasoning with at least three scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a non-medication intervention for the disorder. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
