Week 9 DQ: Diagnosis and Management of Genitourinary
Disorders – NURS 6541
Many genitourinary (GU) disorders such as kidney disease begin
developing during childhood and adolescence (Johns Hopkins
Children’s Center, 2010). This early onset of disease makes it
essential for you, as the advanced practice nurse caring for
pediatric patients, to identify potential signs and symptoms.
Although some pediatric GU disorders require long-term
treatment and management, other disorders such as bedwetting
or urinary tract infections are more common and frequently
require only minor interventions. In your role with pediatric
patients, you must evaluate symptoms and determine whether to
treat patients or refer them for specialized care. For this
Discussion, consider potential diagnoses, treatment, and/or
referral options for the patients in the following three case studies.
Discussion board posting assignments are assigned alphabetically
by FIRST NAME to ensure all cases are covered and discussed.
