NURS 6521 Week 9 Discussion Essay: 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 providerpatient relationship must be carefully managed. During
Assessments, 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.
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.
