Be patient, and that’s almost an impossible thing because you want to grab for it, for the first remedy you can think of and you want the whole world to stop and start focusing on your problem and for most of us, that isn’t going to happen.
—Drew Bouton, prostate cancer survivor
Genitourinary disorders 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 are able to 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 disorders, but also to provide emotional and psychological support to patients and their families.
This week, as you study genitourinary disorders, you examine the patient evaluation process.
You also explore the diagnosis and treatment of patients with genitourinary disorders.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this week, students will:
•Assess differential diagnoses for patients with renal and GU disorders
