Develop a patient medication guide for treatment of depressive disorders in the vulnerable population of dementia patients. Be sure to use language appropriate for your audience (patient, caregiver, parent, etc.). You will include non-copyright images and/or information tables to make your patient medication guide interesting and appealing. Limit your patient medication guide to 5 pages. You will create this guide as an assignment; therefore, a title page, introduction, conclusion, and reference page are required. You must include a minimum of 3 scholarly supporting resources outside of your course provided resources.

In your patient guide, include discussion on the following:

Depressive disorder causes and symptoms
How depression is diagnosed for the vulnerable population of your choice, why is this population considered vulnerable
Medication treatment options including risk vs benefits; side effects; FDA approvals for the vulnerable population of your choice
Medication considerations of medication examples prescribed (see last bullet item)
What is important to monitor in terms of labs, comorbid medical issues with why important for monitoring
Special Considerations (you must be specific, not general and address at least one for EACH category; you must demonstrate critical thinking beyond basics of HIPPA and informed consent!): legal considerations, ethical considerations, cultural considerations, social determinants of health
Where to follow up in your local community for further information
Provide 3 examples of how to write a proper prescription that you would provide to the patient or transmit to the pharmacy.

 

Sample Solution

Depression, also called clinical depression or mood illness, causes a prolonged sadness or loss of interest. The exact cause of depression is not understood and it can be caused by a multitude of factors such as: Impaired brain chemistry;  biological differences: Depressed people seem to have physical changes in their brains. The main significance of these changes is still unknown, but they may ultimately help identify the cause; imbalance of hormones; and family history. Common symptoms of depression include: sadness, tears, emptiness, despair; outbursts of anger, irritability, or frustration, even over trifles; and loss of interest or pleasure in most or all usual activities such as sex, hobbies, sports, among others. Some of the drugs used for the treatment of depression are: SSRIs (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), SNRIs (Selective serotonin and norepinephrine inhibitors).

circumstances such as on the Rolls of Parliament. However, after 1334, her financial and social situation vastly increased allowing her to move freely around the country and therefore allowing her to influence domestic politics. While the amount which Isabella manipulated this opportunity is debated, Isabella undeniably took an interest in political events and was well informed of developments in both domestic and foreign matters. As she was queen-mother and spent time with her son each year, she will have been informed of information in confidence as she was still considered a good source of advice for the king. Likewise, Isabella kept in close correspondence with the rest of her family and this regular correspondence allowed her to keep up with political events. For example, after the peace negotiations with France of 1358, Isabella received the news from three different sources – Queen Philippa, John Winwick and the marshal d’Audrehem. Due to three separate people feeling compelled to inform the queen about the negotiation outcome, Isabella was considered by others to be politically significant and thereby needed to be informed. Furthermore, when she received these messengers, she gave £6 13s to the messenger from Winwick and the same to the messenger from Queen Philippa. Such a sum was uncommon, even from a queen-mother, and this amount indicates that Isabella was grateful and happy to receive the information. However, Isabella’s political role extended further than merely receiving news of political events and, instead, was an active and influential political figure during her retirement.

 

 

While Edward initially restricted Isabella’s movement, Edward evidently had a change of heart in terms of his mother’s political and social role within the country. It is widely mentioned in chronicles that Edward relied on Isabella for ‘superiority by hereditary right’ to the French throne so it is probable that after the succession crisis in 1328 and the beginning of the Hundred Years War Edward decided to allow Isabella back into politics to fulfil a diplomatic purpose. Whether by her son’s influence or not, Isabella regularly made contact with her French relatives and entertained them during the peace negotiations and whenever they visited the England. Isabella hosted both the captal de Buche and the comte de Tancarville regularly placing her in a position to influence the negotiations on the side of the French. Reflecting on the officious character of Isabella prior to her retirement, it is implausible that Isabella would entertain key diplomats without attempting to influence their opinions. Furthermore, Isabella’s importance in Anglo-French negotiation is observed by diplomats when, according to Strickland, the French monarch proposed that the queen-dowager of France and Isabella should be the ones to negotiate peace between the two countries. Likewise, while Isabella died before it came into fruition, in 1358 Edward chose Isabella to advise final treaty negotiations with the French.
