Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references, and you should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide should be informed by the FDA-approved and Evidenced-Based, Clinical Practice Guidelines Research but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources.

Areas of importance you should address, but are not limited to, are:

Title page

Description of the Psychopharmacological medication agent including brand and generic names and appropriate FDA indication uses

Any supporting, valid and reliable research for non-FDA uses

Mechanism of Action

Appropriate dosing, administration route, and any considerations for dosing alterations

Considerations of use and dosing in specific specialty populations to consider children, adolescents, elderly, pregnancy, suicidal behaviors, etc.

Definition of Half-life, why half-life is important, and the half-life for your assigned medication

Side effects/adverse reaction potentials

Contraindications for use including significant drug to drug interactions

Overdose Considerations
