PRAC 6531 Week 7 Discussion : Evaluation and Management of Renal and Genitourinary Conditions

PRAC 6531 Week 7 Discussion : Evaluation and Management of Renal and Genitourinary Conditions PRAC 6531 Week 7 Discussion : Evaluation and Management of Renal and Genitourinary ConditionsGenitourinary conditions such as prostate cancer often create a feeling of powerlessness, frustration, anxiety, and embarrassment in patients. For many patients, making health-related decisions is difficult when the implications of their diagnoses are severe. Having provider-patient conversations about symptoms, potential treatment options, and patient education can be overwhelming for patients under such stress. However, as the advanced practice nurse, it is essential that you can facilitate the treatment and management process through these difficult conversations. Your role in the clinical setting is unique, as it is not only your responsibility to evaluate, diagnose, manage, and educate patients on their conditions, but also to provide emotional and psychological support to patients and their families.PRAC 6531 Week 7 Discussion : Evaluation and Management of Renal and Genitourinary ConditionsThis week, you will continue to engage with Meditrek, recording your clinical hours and patient encounters. You will also learn about evaluation and management of renal and genitourinary conditions in the reading selections. As you think about the patients in your clinical setting who may have a renal or genitourinary condition, what strategies would you use to facilitate the treatment and management process while providing emotional and psychological support?ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HERELearning ObjectiveStudents will:Describe clinical hours and patient encountersLearning ResourcesRequired Readings (click to expand/reduce)Fowler, G.
