NRNP 6552 Week 7 Discussion Case Study Health Conditions and Implications for Women
NRNP 6552 Week 7 Discussion Case Study Health Conditions and Implications for Women
Some health issues, including heart disease, depression, and autoimmune disease, present more frequently in women than in men. Others, including ovarian cancer and pregnancy issues, are obviously exclusive to the female population. Nurse practitioners focused on women’s healthcare become well-versed in these health issues and apply their expertise to helping to screen for and offer care for patients with these conditions.
