  •  research evidence-based treatments for your assigned disorder in  children and adolescents. You will need to recommend one FDA-approved  drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for  treating this disorder in children and adolescents.

The Assignment (1–2 pages)

  • Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one  nonpharmacological intervention for treating your assigned disorder in  children and adolescents.
  • Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment  decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved  medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?
  • Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this  disorder and, if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not,  explain what information you would need to take into consideration.
  • Support your reasoning with at least three scholarly resources,  one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a non-medication  intervention for the disorder. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
