2 Assignments On Psychopharmacology Week 9
From negative changes in mood to problems concentrating,
sleep/wake disorders can have a tremendous impact on patients’
lives. When patients suffer from these disorders, they often seek
medical care with the intent of receiving medications to manage
symptoms. However, many of the medications used to treat
sleep/wake disorders may be addictive, making thorough patient
assessments and close follow-up care essential. To prescribe
appropriate therapies with patient safety in mind, you must
understand not only the pathophysiology of these disorders but
also the pharmacologic agents used to treat them.
This week, as you study therapies for individuals with sleep/wake
disorders, you examine the assessment and treatment of patients
with these disorders. You also explore ethical and legal
implications of these therapies.
