    What’s Happening This Module?

    Module 7: Women’s and Men’s Health, Infections, and Hematologic Disorders is a 1-week module, Week 10 of the course. In this module, you will examine fundamental concepts of diseases and disorders that impact women’s and men’s health, including infections and hematologic disorders. You will also evaluate the impact of patient characteristics, including racial and ethnic variables, on physiological functioning within these populations.

    Week 10: Concepts of Women’s and Men’s Health, Infections, and Hematologic Disorders

    Literature, cinema, and other cultural references have long examined differences between women and men. These observations extend well beyond obvious and even inconspicuous traits to include cultural, behavioral, and biological differences that can impact pathophysiological process and, ultimately, health.

    Understanding these differences in traits and their impact on pathophysiology can better equip acute care nurses to communicate to patients of both sexes. Furthermore, APRNs who are able to communicate these differences can better guide care to patients, whatever their gender.

    This week, you examine fundamental concepts of women’s and men’s health disorders. You also explore common infections and hematologic disorders, and you apply the key terms and concepts that help communicate the pathophysiological nature of these issues to patients.

    Learning Objectives

    Students will:

    Analyze concepts and principles of pathophysiology across the life span
    Analyze processes related to women’s and men’s health, infections, and hematologic disorders
    Identify racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning
    Evaluate the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology

    Module 7 Assignment: Case Study Analysis

    An understanding of the factors surrounding women’s and men’s health, infections, and hematologic disorders can be critically important to disease diagnosis and treatment in these areas. This importance is magnified by the fact that some diseases and disorders manifest differently based on the sex of the patient.

    Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond the human systems involved. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact..

    An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in systems based on these characteristics is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

    In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

    To prepare:

    By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study scenario for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.

    Assignment (1- to 2-page case study analysis)

    In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:

    The factors that affect fertility (STDs).
    Why inflammatory markers rise in STD/PID.
    Why prostatitis and infection happens. Also explain the causes of systemic reaction.
    Why a patient would need a splenectomy after a diagnosis of ITP.
    Anemia and the different kinds of anemia (i.e., micro and macrocytic).
