Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making

Order Instructions

In this Discussion, you will investigate a specific disorder and determine potential appropriate treatments for when it occurs in an older adult or pregnant woman.

To Prepare:

-Choose one of the two following specific populations: either PREGNANT WOMEN or OLDER ADULTS. Then, select a specific disorder from the DSM-5-TR to use.

Use the Walden Library to research evidence-based treatments for your selected disorder in your selected population (either older adults or pregnant women).

-You will need to recommend one FDA-approved drug, one non-FDA-approved “off-label” drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating the disorder in that population.

By Day 3 of Week 9

1.***Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating your chosen disorder in older adults or pregnant women.****

2.****Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making.

3.***What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine?***

4.*** What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?***

5.****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.*****

6.***Support your reasoning with at least three current, credible scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a nonpharmacological intervention for the disorder.*****
