Prescribing for Children and Adolescents
To Prepare
Your Instructor will assign a specific disorder for you to research for this Assignment.
Use the Walden library to research evidence-based treatments for your assigned disorder in children and adolescents. You will need to recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one non-pharmacological intervention for treating this disorder in children and adolescents.
The Assignment (1–2 pages)
Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one non-pharmacological intervention for treating your assigned disorder in children and adolescents.
Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?
Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this disorder and, if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not, explain what information you would need to take into consideration.
Support your reasoning with at least three scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a non-medication intervention for the disorder. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
