The body manages its energy supply with amazing precision. Consider that many people maintain their weight within about a 10- to 20-pound range throughout their lives. How do they do this? How does the body manage excess energy? How do bones, muscles, fat, fluid, and other tissues influence our body composition? However, overweight, and underweight both result in energy imbalance. Almost 42% of adults aged 20 and above are overweight placing them at risk of developing chronic diseases that affect quality of life.

Evidence-based practice uses the PICOT model for formulating a searchable question. Follow the guide below to answer the questions that will help you develop your PICOT question. Support your response by citing and referencing either the course lesson or assigned textbook.
P = Population: How would you describe the group of patients in question?
I = Intervention: What main nursing intervention within your scope of practice are you considering implementing to improve patient outcomes?
C = Comparison: Is there an alternative to compare with the intervention?
O = Outcome: What do you hope to accomplish, improve or affect from the implementing the nursing intervention?
T = Timeframe: What would be the timeframe for data collection or time to measure the outcome?
Based on your responses, use the sample below to develop your clinical PICOT question. State your clinical question.
In elderly patients (P), does a fall risk assessment tool (I) compared to none (C) affect fall rates (O) by hospital discharge (T)?

Electronic medical records systems are not always available, so the importance of knowing how to write an accurate prescription on a prescription pad is imperative. Writing prescription medications is something you will be doing day after day, patient after patient. There are special considerations depending on the DEA schedule of controlled medication you are writing. This Assignment will start preparing you for this task and understanding.
Note: Written prescriptions for pharmacies may differ from chart orders for hospitalizations. For this Assignment, you are writing outpatient prescriptions for pharmacies.
Create prescriptions using the patient information, medications, and indications listed below. Your goal is to demonstrate the accurate way to write a prescription that a patient would present to a pharmacy. The prescription should be written and signed. You will develop your mock prescriptions in a word document to include everything one might find on a printed prescription pad. You will write one prescription per page.
To write your prescriptions, please use the following patient information:
Patient Name: Jane Doe
DOB 1/1/2001
Duration: 3 months
Write a prescription for each of the following medications:
Sertraline, 100mg each day (depression)
Lorazepam, 1mg twice each day, if needed (panic attacks)
Aripiprazole, 2mg before bedtime (depression)
Methylphenidate ER, 54mg every morning before school (ADHD)
