Drug Industry targeting children…
This article points out two very important issues for nurses. The story of Anya points out how parents are not given FULL INFORMED CONSENT before their children are being drugged with off-lable and atypical psychotropic drugs. Anya’s mother did not know what side effects she could expect from Risperdal nor was she given any alternative treatments for her daughter’s condition. This violates our Nurses Code of Ethics and should not have happened. Secondly, there was no evidence that Resperdal should be used for eating disorders, so a psychiatrist decided, and without consent, to experiment with using the drug on this 12 year old to help her gain weight. Human experimentation without consent is a violation of their HUMAN RIGHTS. Nurses should be calling for a cessation of this practice. Are you going to help me fight for their rights?
