1: Intervention for Mr. B

CASE 5 ? Mr. B
Mr. B, 74 years of age, complains with increasing frequency of pain. His physician is puzzled by the complaints because the methadone he has prescribed should be controlling the pain. She has already increased the dosage a couple of times and is reluctant to do so again. She finally asked a family member to bring all of Mr. B’s medications to check for a problem in interaction or perhaps the wrong medication. Examination of the methadone tablets reveals that someone has switched most of the methadone with over-the-counter potassium tablets, which are nearly the same size and color. His failing eyesight prevents him from being able to tell the difference in the very similar tablets. Questioning revealed that Mr. B’s niece, a former drug addict, has been living with him in exchange for his care, and she prepares his medications each day. The family has suspected that she is using drugs again, but was reluctant to probe too deeply because there is no one else to care for Mr. B.

2:Annotated Bibliography Directions

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations of books, articles, websites, and other documents. Each citation is followed by a brief summary and evaluation of the source. For further explanation of what an annotated bibliography is, see this guide from the Cornell University Library. (Links to an external site.)

You are required to prepare an annotated bibliography for your policy brief, containing citations to, and brief summaries of, at least six different sources related to your topic. At least two of these must be academic peer-reviewed sources. For more information about academic peer-review, please see this guide from the Lloyd Sealy Library at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice (Links to an external site.).

Your annotated bibliography, must follow Chicago Manual of Style guidelines. For details on Chicago Style, check out this guide from the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (Links to an external site.). Please keep in mind that proper formatting is part of the assignment. Failure to follow formatting guidelines will adversely impact your grade on the assignment.
