For this Assignment, you will choose a vulnerable patient and develop a 2- to 3-page Medication Guide for them and their family. In your guide, you will consider their ages, birth-assigned sex, FDA approvals, and considerations for increased or decreased risk for side effects. You will choose the most appropriate medication for each of these individuals. Support your answers with evidence-based, peer-reviewed scholarly literature. APA style format title page, citations and references will apply.
Note: You will not set up this Medication Guide as a paragraph-formatted paper but, instead, as a creative, visually appealing guide.
Create a Medication Guide for a patient. In your guide, you should provide the following specific instructions for the patient:
Describe the chosen classification of medications, from the classification category, for your chosen vulnerable patient. Explain your rationale for your choice.
Explain what dose you would start the chosen medication with and the frequency.
Discuss how the medication works to treat their symptoms.
Explain how long they should take the medication.
Discuss the typical or common side effects of the medication.
Explain the urgent or emergent considerations for the patient taking the medication.
The Medication Guide should also include:
Directions you would provide the patient on how to take the prescribed medication
Instructions on what the patient should do if a medication dose is missed
List of any other medications, over-the-counter medications, and/or supplements/herbals the patient should avoid while taking the prescribed medication
List of foods the patient should avoid when taking this medication
Date when the patient should return for follow-up visit with you
Discussion about the legal and ethical considerations for the medication being prescribed
Answers in consideration of Social Determinants of Health on how you would:
Assist the patient who cannot not afford to pay financially for the medication you are recommending/prescribing; and/or
Has difficulty with transportation that impacts their ability to present for regular appointments with you

Advanced registered nurses work in highly collaborative environments and must collaborate with interdisciplinary teams in order to provide excellent patient care. Besides knowing the role and scope of one’s own practice, it is essential to understand the role and scope of other nurse specialties to ensure effective collaboration among nurses, the organization, and other professionals with whom advanced registered nurses regularly interact.
Use the “Nursing Roles Graphic Organizer Template” to differentiate how advanced registered nurse roles relate to and collaborate with different areas of nursing practice. Compare your future role with one of the following: nurse educator; nurse leader; family nurse practitioner; acute care nurse practitioner; graduate nurse with an emphasis/specialty in public health, health care administration, business, or informatics; clinical nurse specialist; doctor of nursing practice. Indicate in the appropriate columns on the template which roles you are comparing.
Make sure to compare the following areas of practice in your graphic organizer:
Ethics
Education
Leadership
Public Health
Health Care Administration
Informatics
Business/Finance
Specialty (e.g., Family, Acute Care)
Include any regulatory bodies or certification agencies that provide guidance or parameters on how these roles incorporate concepts into practice.
