Case studies are a useful way for you to apply your knowledge of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects of pharmacology to specific patient cases and health histories. For the Week 4 Assignment, I have posted the case study scenarios for the week below:
For the Week 4 Assignment, you are to evaluate drug treatment plans for patients with various disorders and justify drug therapy plans based on patient history and diagnosis. Please refer to the grading rubric to ensure that you receive maximum points for the Assignment, and keep the following in mind:
- Review the information provided and answer questions posed in the case study.
- When recommending a medication for each scenario, write out a complete prescription for the medication, including all 5 aspects required for a valid order. The order must be complete, accurate, and appropriate.
- Whenever possible, use clinical practice guidelines in developing your answers.
- Include at least three references to support your answer for each scenario and cite them in APA format.
Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines are fundamental to clinical practice, as they assist providers with clinical decision making. I have attached some applicable guidelines below as additional Optional Resources for your Week 4 Assignment.
Have a great week!
