Coverage by of the news is not carried out by any monolithic  organization that gets to decide what is, and is not, the correct way to  report the news. Today perhaps more than ever, the editorial or opinion  piece of the news is more apparent and widespread than it had been in  the decades before cable news, 24-hour-news cycles, and the rise of the  Internet as a news source. This does not necessarily mean that the news  has become any less impartial, simply that news organizations are more  conscious of markets and demographics, the people they are trying to  attract, than ever before.

For your assignment this week, find two articles that address the  same issue produced by two different news sources (this cannot be the  same AP story published by different sources). In 1-2 pages, provide a  summary of what message each writer is trying to get across, and provide  a brief compare and contrast analysis of the two pieces. Explain which  piece you feel is more effective and why. Be sure to include links for  each article in your assignment.

Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document. (Mac users, please  remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename.) The name of  the file should be your first initial and last name, followed by an  underscore and the name of the assignment, and an underscore and the  date. An example is shown below

Discussion: Pharmacotherapy for Neurological Disorders

Neurological disorders, such as headaches, seizure disorders, sleep disorders, depression, and dementia can present several complications for patients of all ages. These disorders affect patients physically and emotionally, impacting judgment, school and/or job performance, and relationships with family and friends. Since these disorders may have drastic effects on patients’ lives, it is important for advanced practice nurses to effectively manage patient care. With patient factors and medical history in mind, it is the advanced practice nurse’s responsibility to manage the diagnosis, treatment, and education of patients with neurological disorders.

To prepare:

· Review this week’s media presentation on pharmacology for the nervous system.

· Select one of the following neurological disorders: headaches, seizure disorders, sleep disorders, depression, or dementia. Consider the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with this disorder.

· Select one of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how this factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a description of the neurological disorder you selected including types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat associated symptoms. Then, explain how the factor you selected might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.
