NURS 6541 Week 8 Assignment: i-Human Case Study: Evaluation and Management of Renal and Genitourinary Conditions

As you prepare for this i-Human Case Study, reflect on your prior case studies and feedback you have received. Focus on what to strengthen or improve in your examination process and procedures. As you consider possible renal and genitourinary conditions you may address, identify particular issues or patient ages of greatest interest or concern to you. In short, do the most to maximize this experience in any and all ways.

To prepare:

Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how to apply knowledge of renal and genitourinary conditions and understanding of socio-cultural family needs to assessing, diagnosing, and treating pediatric patients.

Access i-Human from this week’s Learning Resources and review the i-Human Case Study. Based on the provided patient information, think about the health history you would need to collect from the patient.

Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. Reflect on how the results would be used to make a diagnosis.

Identify 3–5 possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis.

Develop a treatment plan for the patient that includes health promotion and patient education strategies for patients with renal and genitourinary conditions and their families.

Assignment:

As you interact with the i-Human patient, complete the assigned case study. For guidance on using i-Human, refer to the i-Human Patients Case Player Student Manual in the Learning Resources.
