Topic 1: High-Risk Medications in Older Adults

Older adults are at increased risk for adverse drug events due to age-related changes in renal function, metabolism, and polypharmacy. The Beers Criteria, published by the American Geriatrics Society, outlines medications that may pose more risks than benefits in this population.

Choose one medication listed in the Beers Criteria that youve seen used in clinical practice.

1. Briefly explain why this drug is considered high-risk for older adults.
2. Describe one or two key nursing implications (e.g., monitoring needs, side effects to watch for, patient teaching).
3. If you feel this drug is still useful in some cases, explain why and include cautionary notes.

Be sure to cite at least one scholarly or regulatory source in APA format (e.g., AGS, FDA, peer-reviewed journal).

Topic 2: Pharmacology in the Era of Rapid Drug Development

In recent years, we have seen a rapid pace in drug developmentfrom emergency authorizations during pandemics to fast-tracked approvals of breakthrough therapies.

Select one recently approved drug (within the last 5 years) or one newly issued FDA/EMA/WHO drug safety warning. Briefly describe:

1. What the drug is used for or what the warning was about
2. How this reflects the evolving role of pharmacology in clinical practice
3. Explain how one implication for advanced nursing practice is affected (e.g., prescribing, teaching, monitoring)

Be sure to cite at least one current scholarly or regulatory source (e.g., FDA, WHO, peer-reviewed article) in APA format.

Make sure to hit all the below highlights (use rubric for further guidance):

• Clearly explain drug’s purpose or safety concern in an accurate and concise manner.
• Thoughtfully connect the topic to current trends in pharmacology or drug regulation.
• Provide one clear, relevant implication for the advanced practice nurse role (eg;, prescribing, education, monitoring).
• Use at least one scholarly or regulatory source cited and referenced correctly in APA format.
• Use clear, organized, professional tone.

Many drugs have names that might sound like other drugs. This could cause confusion for the patient or provider and could lead to serious medical errors. Review the resources on this topic. Find a commonly known medication that has a look-alike, sound-alike name with another different medication. Create an infographic with the following information: Names of both drugs (generic and trade names) What is the primary indication (use) for each of the drugs? What are the typical dosage range, dosing schedule, and route for each drug? What are the most common side effects of each drug? What are the most serious (dangerous) side effects? How could you use the tall man lettering to help patients/staff who administer the medication distinguish between the 2 drugs? What other ideas might you use to prevent errors from receiving the wrong drug (for patients and/or providers)? Upload your infographic to this assignment link.

TASK: Attend at least one recovery related event in your community. You can choose a number of events including but not limited to 12 step meetings, drug court hearings, or speakers talking about drug policy, addiction, prevention, or other related topic. Other events or activities may be permissible as well but you must attend them this semester and if you are at all unsure if an event qualifies contact your instructor. It is your responsibility to locate and select the activity you wish to attend.

15 points:

Detailed description of the event you attended including date, time, and location. Include

why you selected the event, what happened, and who the participants were (i.e. number,

gender, and estimate of age ranges names are not necessary). Describe how you were

able to find the event including how easy the event was to find.

15 points:

Analysis of strengths and weaknesses of the event: Drawing on things you learned in

class, do you think the event / activity would promote recovery? Are there certain types

of people you think would benefit more from the event than others? Considering lessons

learned in class, describe aspects that you believe tie into good practice / policy as well

as aspects that were of concern.

It is very important you explicitly connect some aspect of lessons from class to what

you experience during this activity. This component is worth 5 points of this section

alone; failure to do this will cost you 10% of your total grade on this paper!

10 points:

Describe your reaction to the event on an emotional level what was your gut

reaction? How do you think an addict trying to get clean would respond to the event?

Was the experience what you expected or something entirely different?

10 points:

Use proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, and organization. It is advisable to use

headers to help organize main components of the paper.

Respiratory Drugs Presentation Project

You have been assigned to a topic related to a respiratory group of medications. Refer to Chapter 11 in your D2L content or respiratory drugs therapeutic class of drug cards (red and rust-colored). I also encourage you to do outside research for your presentations, including consultation of a pharmacist at a local community pharmacy for their recommendations on specific respiratory drug categories as listed below. You may submit a video, power-point slide with voiceovers, or another presentation-style project to the dropbox. Each participant must record their voice overs for their portion of the project.

You must complete your project (worth 95 points), a partner evaluation (worth 2.5 points), and evaluate one other students project (worth 2.5 pts) for full credit. The project you evaluate must be a different topic from your project. This evaluation adds a learner-benefited exposure to additional areas of content for your respiratory drugs.

You must present the following information for your respiratory project (worth 95 pts):

• Background on the disease and/or symptoms assigned.
• The various types of dosage forms available for your respiratory group of medications.
• The advantages and disadvantages of the various dosage forms.
• If a drug is controlled, indicate to which scheduled control group the medication(s) belongs.
• Special precautions of which the patient should be aware, such as possible contraindications, allergy alerts, and or food interactions.
• If medications within your group are also available OTC you must include pictures and prices contrasting options available for patients and the various price points of options (example, brand name Robitussin DM and its price vs. store brand/generic equivalent OTC to Robitussin DM).
• Be sure to include the medications from your Siglers Drug Cards relevant to each respiratory group!
• You may choose the type of presentation for your information (YouTube, Prezi, Canva, WebEx, etc.), but your project MUST include your voice in the presentation for full credit. Ten points are automatically deducted if there is no audio voice recording of presented information.
• You must include documentation for all your information. Be sure to include your sources.

Respiratory Topics

(You may use multiple sources, D2L PowerPoints, and your Sigler’s Drug Cards to gather your research and information.)
