Lehne’s pharmacotherapeutics for advanced practice
As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely encounter patients
who will present with symptoms affecting the gastrointestinal (GI)
tract. Of special note, is the consideration that most symptoms
concerning the GI tract are non-specific and therefore, diagnosing
diagnoses of the GI tract require thoughtful and careful
investigation. Similarly, hepatobiliary disorders may also mirror
many of the signs and symptoms that patients present when
suffering from GI disorders.
How might you tease out the specific signs and symptoms
between these potential disorders and body systems? What drug
therapy plans will best address these disorders for your patients?
This week, you examine GI and hepatobiliary disorders. You will
review a patient case study and consider those factors in
recommending and prescribing a drug therapy plan fo your
patient.
