Problem:
In 600 words, speak as if you are back in your clinical and explain each psychiatric medication (continue Fluoxetine 20 mg orally daily for depression, continue Vyvanse 40 mg orally every morning for ADHD and continue Hydroxyzine pam 25 mg orally as needed qhs for anxiety/insomnia) to this person(Ms Jay). Be sure to adjust your explanation for any age or cognitive consideration (such as to a child, teenager, or a person with a cognitive disability). Explain why you are prescribing the medication, dosing, side effects, and patient education. Clarify the route of administration; do not assume that a medication is given by po (or oral route). Some meds are administered intramuscular injection (IM) or as a liquid. It is important to clarify when writing a note (or a prescription) that the med is po. Document your plans and intentions moving forward. If starting a cross-taper or planning on discontinuing or re-evaluating any current medications, what is the end goal? This is especially true for medications that should be used short-term, such as benzodiazepines or sedative-hypnotics. When a person has never taken a medication, tolerability should always be established orally before starting a long-acting injectable. Be concise and thorough with your medications. You wouldn't copy and paste or read off an entire PDR to your patient, so do not do it here. What are the most important teaching points regarding your medication choices?
