Analyzing a Pharmacological Agent. Paper is one page, excluding references and title page. It does have to be in APA format looking for a title page and I am looking for a reference page to go along with this, but that’s not part of the one-page paper. You need to have one-page of written words double-space with the information. So describes the intended brochure audience. Who is the drug metaphor? It could be pediatric drug. But you don’t necessarily write a brochure for the child, right? You’re going to write the drug for the parent. Describes intended use of the brochure, includes the name, date, drug class, and a reference page, APA format. And then here I have it highlighted to scholarly primary sources within the last five years. Since the drug can’t be more than five years old.
