Please review and follow the grading rubric details and include each component in the assignment as required. Also, follow the APA 7 writing rules, style/Format, Title page, Introduction, Purpose statement, Literature Review, Conclusion, References.

Assignment:

Choose one of the two following specific populations: either pregnant women or older adults. Then, select a specific disorder from the DSM-5-TR to use. Use the Walden Library to research evidence-based treatments for your selected disorder in your selected population (either older adults or pregnant women). You will need to recommend one FDA-approved drug, one non-FDA-approved “off-label” drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating the disorder in that population.

Specifically:

- Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating your chosen disorder in older adults or pregnant women.

- 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, justify your recommendations using them. If not, describe what information you would need to consider.

Support your reasoning with at least three current, credible scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label drug, and a nonpharmacological intervention for the disorder.

At the end, ensure your paper adheres to APA 7 guidelines, includes a title page, introduction, purpose statement, literature review, conclusion, and references. Properly cite all sources, and ensure the Safe-assign plagiarism report is below 50%.
