I JUST PUT 5 SLIDES BUT I THINK IT WILL BE LONGER CONSIDERING THE INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD MORE SLIDES AS MUCH AS IT TAKES TO COMPLETE IT
The following will be expected of each student: Identify 1 psychotropic medication from the list
posted on the blackboard (cannot use the same medication that you used for the teaching tool
assignment). Develop (1) one case study that shows how, why, and when you would use this
medication and (1) one that shows how, why and when you would NOT use this medication. You
may use real or fabricated patients for these studies. Each case summary will include a full
psychiatric initial evaluation of the patient, a summary of their current condition and treatments
used previously. You must justify your decision about the use or non-use of the medication with
evidence-based research. Provide information on your chosen medication prior to the case
studies. Briefly and succinctly, tell why it is appropriate or not appropriate to use the chosen
medication at the conclusion of the case study. Demonstrate how each of the patient’s
medications assist in their treatment plan. Provide a discussion of the expected overall encounter
with the sample patient including potential barriers/issues that you might anticipate when
working with the clients and explaining why or why not you have chosen or ruled out this
medication for them. Provide an example of how culture and diversity enter into your decision-
making process for your patient or possible adaptations that may be required. Provide a summary
of conclusions and 3 statements of what you learned from this exercise. The power point/video
should be no longer than 10 minutes, submitted in a timely manner and contain 2 case studies.
References as necessary.
Basic Voice over Power Point/Video requirements
• Each student will submit into Live Text a power point or video of their chosen medication case
studies.
• Please see rubric.
• You may use real patients but use no identifying data.
• You will need different patients for each case study
• The power point/video must NOT be longer than 10 minutes
• Please ensure high quality of the power point audio/video so the reviewer can hear what you
are saying.
