NURS 6531 Week 5: Evaluation and Management of Respiratory Conditions

Respiratory conditions can often be well managed when properly diagnosed and treated. Despite the existence of effective pharmacological treatments, lack of patient adherence to those treatments can negatively affect patient outcomes. As an advanced practice nurse, you play a critical role in the management of respiratory conditions, including providing education to patients about treatment options and their potential side effects and helping them weigh the benefits and risks. You must know when to treat, when to order diagnostics, and when to refer for specialized care. Failure to implement the appropriate actions can negatively impact the diagnosis and treatment of a patient, including the possible loss of their life.
