Disorders of the Reproductive Systems

/in /by

Discussion: Disorders of the Reproductive SystemsWhile the male and female reproductive systems are  unique to each sex, they share a common function—reproduction. Disorders  of this system range from delayed development to structural and  functional abnormalities. Since many reproductive disorders not only  result in physiological consequences but also psychological consequences  such as embarrassment, guilt, or profound disappointment, patients are  often hesitant to seek treatment. Advanced practice nurses need to  educate patients on disorders and help relieve associated stigmas.  During patient evaluations, patients must feel comfortable answering  questions so that you, as a key health care provider, will be able to  diagnose and recommend treatment options. As you begin this Discussion,  consider reproductive disorders that you would commonly see in the  clinical setting.To PrepareReview Chapter 22 and Chapter 23 in the  Hammer and McPhee text, as well as Chapter 33 and 34 in the Huether and McCance text.Select two disorders of the male and/or female  reproductive systems that interest you.Consider the similarities and  differences between the disorders.Select one of the following factors: genetics,  ethnicity, age, or behavior.Think about how the factor you selected  might impact the diagnosis of and treatment for the reproductive  disorders.Post a description of the two  reproductive disorders you selected, including their similarities and  differences. Then explain how the factor you selected might impact the  diagnosis of treatment for the reproductive disorders.NOTE: This is the link of the book you have to usehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/12MGt6z2PicuM1y4rM-SN8rpGD09-Tmkj/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/12MGt6z2PicuM1y4rM-SN8rpGD09-Tmkj/view?usp=sharing

If you were the chairperson of a medical ethics committee faced with the decision concerning which of the following patients would receive a heart transplant what decision would you make and what justification would you give to the families of each of the patients for making that decision?
Patient 1: A seventy-six-year-old nonsmoker with good pulmonary and renal function is a good candidate for a heart transplant and his life expectancy without the transplant is one month. The patient has the resources to pay cash for the transplant procedure and follow-up care.
Patient 2: A forty-six-year-old unemployed auto worker with a history of alcohol use and smoking suffered a heart attack and will die within one month if he does not receive a heart transplant. The patient does not have health insurance nor does he have the resources to pay for the procedure.
