You are prescribing Lithium to a patient. Develop a narrative scriipt of what you would tell the patient about the medication. Why is this medication being prescribed? What can the patient expect? What are the benefits/risks? What symptoms are you targeting with this medication? How long will it take to work? What will it cost? Where can it be filled? What if the patient loses the prescriiption, etc.? The narrative dialog should reflect knowledge of mechanisms of action, pharmacodynamics/kinetics, dosing, side effects, pertinent patient instructions (such as take with food, don’t drive, stand slowly, when/why to contact provider or return to the office, etc.) It should be written in your voice, providing education to a patient for a medication they have never taken before. Please identify the patient’s illness and demographic information (age, demographics, and any psychosocial considerations including education/comprehension). The scriipt should demonstrate your knowledge of the medication, best practices, cultural competency, and knowledge of health literacy, etc. Please limit the scriipt to 3 double-spaced pages and no more than 10 PowerPoint slides (excluding title and references slide). Please make sure to use at least 2 peer-reviewed references and cite in the latest APA format.
Once you have completed the scriipt, you will create a PowerPoint presentation with verbal narration that represents the overall summary of the scriipt and verbal instructions given to a patient about the drug being prescribed.
Will upload rubric to be followed in a few hours.
