INTRODUCTION

Purpose:

Map out a clinical patient’s symptoms and other data to make an informed decision about prescribing psychotropic medications. This patient should be from your previous assignment: Psychiatric Evaluation.

A major component of the role of the PMHNP is medication assessment and management. Initially, most students and newly graduated NPs find this to be quite challenging, even overwhelming.  Once you are experienced, this task will be become more automatic, occurring multiple times a day based on evidence, literature, trends, laboratory values, patient preference, and prior history, as well as your preference. You must be proficient in correct DSM-5 diagnosis/differential diagnosis, psychopharmacology, symptoms, side effects, and proper medical management including laboratory values to check and monitor and patient education.

Do not simply copy what your preceptor or other prescriber wrote for medication. Make a plan for what you decide the patient should be taking and provide the rationale.

Complete a psychopharmacology map indicating what the patient is currently prescribed and what you recommend going forward as the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner treating the patient. (use the same patient from Part I- Psychiatric History)

Map out a clinical patient’s symptoms and other data to make an informed decision about prescribing psychotropic medications.

Submission to be in essay format using the topics:

1 Major DSM-V diagnosis. 2 Differentials. Symptoms to target. Medications. Rationale for medication decisions. Possible side effects. Medical interventions/labs.

The psychopharmacology map is a plan of care, not a snapshot. Discuss potential titrations of medications and also possible assessments, such as lab work.

This should be 11 pages , not including title page and reference page. 

Each assignment this semester should be on a unique patient. This patient should be documented in Typhon. Provide patient Typhon Identification number in assignment.
