A correct response removes an item from the question bank; an incorrect response moves the item to the end of the bank for re-testing. Every response is counted and the final score is the percent correct of the total responses.
This app is primarily intended to help the emergency healthcare provider increase scene safety by recognizing a potential psychiatric situation through the presence of on-scene, psychiatric medication. To a lesser extent, this app might help with patient assessment, and, if one discovers an aptitude for memorizing names, lead to a more advanced medical position.
The data in this app are from a (US) National Institute of Mental Health site listing commonly used, generic, psychiatric medications: NIMH ยป Mental Health Medications, 2020. Medications are cross-referenced with Wikipedia and The National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus to obtain trade names and to verify drug availability (by a common, or popular, trade name.)
There are multiple ways to classify medications, and some medications might occasionally fall under more than one class. The following list adheres to the NIMH's therapeutic classification, which might be different from other respectable sources:
The drug called "lisdexamfetamine dimesylate" by the NIMH is called simply "lisdexamfetamine" on other respected sites, including MedlinePlus.
According to the NIMH, valproic acid is the same medication as divalproex sodium.
The medications above follow the order given by the NIMH.
Some medicines on the list might also be used to treat non-psychiatric conditions.
Reading these medications aloud multiple times might help with memorization.
