Explain the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of psychopharmacologic agents
Details: Pls for in-text citation, I need to see a lot from the required reading textbook. I attached it below. Outside sources will be cited too. pLS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND PROVIDE EXAMPLES WHEN IT IS REQUIRED. USE ARTICLES THAT ARE RELATED TO THE THE QUESTIONS ASKED.
For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and reflect on the concepts of foundational neuroscience as they might apply to your role as the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in prescribing medications for patients.
By Day 3 of Week 2
Post a response to each of the following:
Explain the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of psychopharmacologic agents, including how partial and inverse agonist functionality may impact the efficacy of psychopharmacologic treatments.
Compare and contrast the actions of g couple proteins and ion gated channels.
Explain how the role of epigenetics may contribute to pharmacologic action.
Explain how this information may impact the way you prescribe medications to patients. Include a specific example of a situation or case with a patient in which the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner must be aware of the medication’s action.

Students will:
Analyze the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of psychopharmacologic agents
