NURS 6521 week 9 Discussion: Women’s and Men’s Health, Infectious Disease, and Hematologic Disorders
NURS 6521 week 9 Discussion: Women’s and Men’s Health, Infectious Disease, and Hematologic Disorders
As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely experience patient encounters with complex comorbidities. For example, consider a female patient who is pregnant who also presents with hypertension, diabetes, and has a recent tuberculosis infection. How might the underlying pathophysiology of these conditions affect the pharmacotherapeutics you might recommend to help address your patient’s health needs? What education strategies might you recommend for ensuring positive patient health outcomes?
For this Discussion, you will be assigned a patient case study and will consider how to address the patient’s current drug therapy plans. You will then suggest recommendations on how to revise these drug therapy plans to ensure effective, safe, and quality patient care for positive patient health outcomes.

NURS 6521 week 9 Discussion: Women’s and Men’s Health, Infectious Disease, and Hematologic Disorders
Week 9: Women’s and Men’s Health
As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely encounter many disorders associated with women’s and men’s health, such as hormone deficiencies, cancers, and other functional and structural abnormalities. Disorders such as these not only result in physiological consequences but also psychological consequences, such as embarrassment, guilt, or profound disappointment for patients. For these reasons, the provider-patient relationship must be carefully managed. During evaluations, patients must feel comfortable answering questions so that you, as a key health-care provider, will be able to diagnose and recommend appropriate treatment options. Advanced practice nurses must be able to educate patients on these disorders and help relieve associated stigmas and concerns. NURS 6521 week 9 Discussion: Women’s and Men’s Health, Infectious Disease, and Hematologic Disorders
This week, you examine women’s and men’s health concerns as well as the types of drugs used to treat disorders that affect women’s and men’s health. You also explore how to treat aspects of these disorders on other health systems.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
- Evaluate patients for treatment of complex health issues
- Evaluate patients for treatment of infections
- Evaluate patients for treatment of hematologic disorders
- Analyze patient education strategies for the management and treatment of complex comorbidities
