The psychopharmacologic treatments you might recommend for patients may have potential impacts on other mental health conditions and, therefore, require additional consideration for positive patient outcomes. For this Assignment, you will review and apply your understanding of psychopharmacologic treatments for patients with multiple mental health disorders.

o Carefully read and follow the assignment instructions, my announcements, and review the grading rubric for grading criteria. Be sure you have all required elements (see grading rubric and assignment instructions).
o Follow the quantity limits placed on each question. For example, the first question is to be answered in 3-4 sentences, so please write 3-4 sentences and not multiple paragraphs or pages. Other questions ask for a list of a certain number, so be sure to include that many as asked. You need to be concise and include the required information.
o If all of the questions listed in the assignment or all of the required elements listed in the assignment are not in your paper, there will be point deductions unfortunately.
o This paper should follow APA 7 format with a title page, reference page, in-text citations, etc. Whenever you use a source, you must cite it to give credit to the author. Cite more often than not.
o Substantiate/support your responses with acceptable, approval resources/references for your discussion post and your replies/responses. As a reminder, WebMD is not an acceptable academic resource.
o All work must be your own work in your own words with proper citations.
o Do not view or use other students work as this is cheating and will be treated as such. This includes but is not limited to: other students currently in this course in any section; students who previously took this course; students’ work posted online; students’ work posted on assistive sites; using other students’ work for your research or as guidance, etc. and all of these aforementioned are considered cheating. This is not allowed or permissible. When I grade, I will research this and if I find this has been done, I will start the Academic Integrity inquiry process for the College of Nursing program and program director to make the determination and establish the punishment if a violation is found.
o Your work should not match other student’s work.
o Paraphrasing using your own words, thoughts, understanding, and ideas is required.
