Prescribing for Older Adults and Pregnant Women

In this Discussion, you will investigate a specific disorder and determine potential appropriate treatments for when it occurs in an older adult or pregnant woman.

Choose one of the two following specific populations: either pregnant women or older adults. Then, select a specific disorder from the DSM-5 to use.

Use the Walden Library to research evidence-based treatments for your selected disorder in your selected population (either older adults or pregnant women). You will need to recommend one FDA-approved drug, one non-FDA-approved “off-label” drug, and one non-pharmacological intervention for treating the disorder in that population.

Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one non-pharmacological intervention for treating your chosen disorder in older adults or pregnant women.

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?

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 current, credible scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a non-pharmacological intervention for the disorder.

Evidence Base Practice Plan Paper Guidelines

Guidelines:
1. Write a clinical question using the PICOT format (population/patient, intervention, comparison, outcome(s), and time.

a. Should reflect uncertainty in clinical practice

b. The question is phrased using the PICOT (i.e., Patient population, Intervention, Comparison or comparison group, Outcome(s), Time period [if applicable to the question/concern]) format. The following is an example of a PICOT question:

In newborn infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), does oral sucrose administration provide better non-pharmacologic pain oral sucrose management than non-nutritive sucking during heel sticks?

2. Collection of the strongest, most relevant evidence to answer the question. Search the evidence and define the level of evidence found

Select three (3) research articles that address your PICOT question. These must be reports of single, original research studies and can be either quantitative or qualitative studies.

Do not use reviews of literature, clinical practice guidelines, or meta-syntheses. You may use mixed-methods studies if they report on a single project. You will be marked down if your articles do not meet these criteria. You may use articles that you have selected for previous assignments (i.e. discussion forums).

3. Appraise the evidence for evidence based practice

a. What is the quality of the evidence? How rigorous and reliable is it?

b. What is the evidence-magnitude of effects?

c. What is precision of estimates?

d. What evidence is there of side effects/benefits?

e. What is financial cost of applying the evidence?

f. Is the evidence relevant to my practice?

4. Extract the data. Complete the evaluation table for your two articles chosen.

5. Develop a plan for implementation
