| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ethical and legal considerations | make accurate diagnosis and identify target symptoms. phase of illness is important determine prior personal and family history of response to certain drugs consider risk to benefit ratio monitor response and side effects document |
| these things are important to document | informed consent patients understanding of target symptoms benefits risks alternatives |
| Prescribing should be done | in accordance with state and federal regulations and based on clinical indicators |
| Monitoring includes that | the effect of the medication is evaluated by target symptom remission |
| Managing includes this | provides information on risks, benefits and adverse effects, treat SE when necessary |
| Evaluating includes this | evaluate therapeutic and potential adverse effects of medication. Make changes in treatment based on evidence. |
| Pharmocologic Interventions includes | Prescribing Monitoring Managing Evaluating |
| Pediatric diagnoses can be | atypical, constantly changing and unusually comorbid with other psychiatric disorders |
| With kids be aware of this | psychosocial aspects related to drug taking |
| Hepatic capacity, glomerular filtration and fatty tissue for children | greater hepatic capacity more GFR less fatty tissue |
| Kids are less able to store drugs in fat so | they have quicker elimination and shorter half lives |
| Lithium and anticonvulsants in kids | may take longer to work and are not effective |
| Most malformations in pregnancy occur during this period | embryotic period |
| the embryotic period occurs at | 3rd to 8th week of gestation |
| positive pregnancy tests are possible at weeks | 4-7 may be past window of teratogenic risk |
| No behavioral toxicity found in children exposed to this prenatally | fluoxetine |
| Depakote in pregnancy leads to | neural tube defects |
| Lithium in pregnancy leads to | Epstein's Anomaly |
| Epstein's Anomaly is | congenital defect displacing tricuspid valve |
| these may be safer than mood stabilizers | atypical antipsychotics but they are not well studied |
| To prevent 1st trimester exposure, recommend this | birth control |

| These medications are good for use with postmenopausal women | Estrogen replacement plus SSRI or SNRI effective for maintenance and prevention of recurrence of depression Menopause is another risk period |
| Why are geriatric patients susceptible to adverse effects | cardiovascular disease and reduced cardiac output can affect both renal and hepatic drug clearance lower cholinergenic output results in an increased risk for anticholinergic toxicity |
| Which risks are the highest for geriatric pts | cardiovascular risks - increases risk when using drugs with cardiovascular effects - TCAs, increased risk of orthostatic hypotension and falls |
| Consider this for elderly | More susceptible to adverse effects metabolize drugs more slowly and require lower doses have other medical problems and therefore potential drug interactions |
| Why do elderly people need lower doses and metabolize drugs slowly | lean body mass decreases and body fat increases lipid soluble psych drugs are distributed more widely in fat tissue so the drugs action can be unexpectedly prolonged |
| Elderly people may have GI issues | GI disease and decreased gastric acid secretion may slow absorption |
| Hypertensive crisis in elderly is associated with | MAOI and tyramine ingestion |
| This is used with to treat hypertensive crisis | phentolamine (Regitine) alpha adrenergic blocker |
