ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER!!!NRS 434v-Discussion: Informed consent for an antipsychotic

In this assignment, you will practice giving informed consent for an antipsychotic and obtaining consent for the treatment plan. Even if you have no plans of prescribing these psychotropic medications, you will still complete this assignment. You may choose any first (1st) or second (2nd) generation antipsychotic to give informed consent about seek consent for treatment.

It is the prescriber’s duty to offer full informed consent that encompasses education about the medication, an explanation of the medication’s mechanism of action, the possible side effects, and the goal of the medication in that particular patient.

However, please see below for specific instructions on whether you will be seeking consent to begin an antipsychotic in a geriatric patient. Your audience may be the patient or the patient’s caregiver. Discuss what the medication will be targeting (mechanism of action for specific s/sx), the dose you plan to start, key side effects/consideration for the patient, and monitoring or tests that need to take place, and alternatives. Lastly, let the patient know how soon they will need to have a follow-up appointment and what to expect in terms of how often they will follow-up for an appointment after initiation of treatment. (“Risks, benefits, side effects, monitoring, alternatives and follow-up”). At least 2 scholarly reference should be included with each response.?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
