- Week 4 Dangerous Drug Interaction Project
- You will create an educational item of your choice
The specific instructions are located in Module 4
Make sure your project included two different medications from two different classifications!
Also, don’t forget to write the one-page assignment stating how you would use the material in practice!
Please refer to the rubric for this assignment to guide completion
Hello Everyone! I have been getting questions related to the drug interaction project. For this assignment, choose TWO different medications from TWO different medication classifications from ones we have studied so far in this course. You will develop ONE infographic, it may be more than ONE page, but each medication must be mentioned on each page as this is a comparison of the two medications related to adverse reactions when taken incorrectly. You will also compare BOTH medications to interactions with other drugs, OTC, and alcohol. You will submit the assignment as a PDF (do NOT submit a link! Whatever tool use must allow you to download the image as a PDF). In addition to the PDF, you will submit a Microsoft word document writing to how you will SPECIFICALLY use this educational item in practice. Make sure to include a detailed plan that considers barriers related to language and technology!
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Select two medications (the medications must be from different medication classifications) and ones we have studied so far in the course. Review the medication classifications from weeks 1 – 4.
You will compare BOTH medications to each other, OTC, other medications, and alcohol for adverse reactions if taken incorrectly.
You can decide what type of educational product you want to develop but if more than one page, both medications must be included to show the interaction dangers.
Make sure to include APA references on the education tool! As stated in the rubric, the references must be peer-reviewed! This leaves out blogs, .com, and any other reference that is not proven to be peer-reviewed. Using the WCU is an excellent way to ensure your references are peer-reviewed!
The educational tool you develop must be uploaded as PDF. Ensure whatever site you use allows this. You cannot provide a link!
You will write a 1 page paper (not including title and reference page) that explains why you chose the drugs, how you would specifically use this tool in practice, and barriers related to technology and language. How specifically would the barriers be overcome? Review the rubric! This will be submitted as a Microsoft Word document in APA format. Both files should be uploaded together.
Week 4
Dangerous Drug Interaction Project
Dangerous Drug Interaction Project
This week, you will create an educational item about dangerous drug interactions. Choose two drugs from different categories of drugs that we have studied thus far in the course that can have a dangerous reaction if taken incorrectly. Research the drugs’ interactions with other drugs, including OTC medications, and alcohol. Please note that you may not choose the same drug that you are using for your medication research paper for this assignment.
For this assignment:
1. Create an educational item that describes/displays the dangers associated with the chosen drugs.
2. This educational item can be in any format, so be creative. For example, you can create a pamphlet/brochure, a flyer, an infographic, a newsletter, etc. (at least one page)
3. Also include a one page summary as to why you chose the drugs and how you would use this educational item in practice. Make sure to cite your sources using APA formatting. You should include at least two scholarly sources.
