NURS6630 Week 2 Assignment Instructions
Psychopharmacology Scavenger Hunt Concept Map
As you continue to learn about psychopharmacology, you will find that
medications used to treat mental health conditions are agonists across the
spectrum. It will be important for you to recognize some of those
medications and how they act on a variety of neurochemicals in different
ways to treat the symptoms.
In this Assignment, you will “scavenger” the literature as you research the
agonist spectrum and key neurotransmitters and pathways targeted in
psychopharmacology. You will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge
as you create a Concept Map exploring each of the agonist spectrum listed
below. Support your answers with evidence-based, peer-reviewed scholarly
literature. APA style format title page, citations, and references will apply.
NOTE: You will not set up your Assignment as a paragraph-formatted paper
but, instead, as a creative, visually appealing Concept Map.
To prepare for this Assignment: INSTRUCTIONS
Explore the listed agonist spectrum and consider the action and receptor of
each:
1. Agonist
2. Partial agonist
3. Antagonist
4. Inverse agonist
