Discussion: Asthma and Stepwise Management<\/p>\n
Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment, making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors. Asthma is a problem with the lungs that affects both kids and adults. Patients with these disorders often get help from advanced practice nurses. Patients with asthma sometimes need treatment right away, so it’s important to know how to tell the difference between minor asthma symptoms and serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often brought on by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients figure out what their triggers are and suggest ways to deal with them. Asthma can be treated and managed in many different ways, just like many other diseases. These ways depend on the individual patient.<\/p>\n
One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.<\/p>\n
To Prepare<\/p>\n
Reflect on drugs used to treat asthmatic patients, including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients, including adults and children.
\nConsider how you might apply the stepwise approach to address the health needs of a patient in your practice.
\nReflect on how stepwise management Helps health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.
\nBy Day 7 of Week 3<\/p>\n
Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:<\/p>\n
Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient.
\nExplain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management for your patient.
\nExplain how stepwise management Helps health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease. Be specific.

Module 3<\/p>\n
Module 3: Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Systems
\nSymptoms of various gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary disorders often overlap, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. For example, symptoms such as vomiting, constipation, and bloating are non-specific and could also be the result of underlying medical history or current prescription drug use. As an advanced practice nurse, you could be potentially responsible for providing care to a patient who may present with non-specific symptoms related to the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary systems.<\/p>\n
How would you proceed to care for this patient? What type of drug therapy might you recommend, not knowing current medical history or prescription drug use? Are there certain drugs you should avoid in ensuring a drug-drug interaction does not occur? These are the types of questions that may guide you in your role as an advanced practice nurse.

Week 4 (your nursing study bay): Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders
\nAs an advanced practice nurse, you will likely encounter patients who will present with symptoms affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Of special note, is the consideration that most symptoms concerning the GI tract are non-specific and therefore, diagnosing diagnoses of the GI tract require thoughtful and careful investigation. Similarly, hepatobiliary disorders may also mirror many of the signs and symptoms that patients present when suffering from GI disorders.<\/p>\n
How might you tease out the specific signs and symptoms between these potential disorders and body systems? What drug therapy plans will best address these disorders for your patients?<\/p>\n
This week, you examine GI and hepatobiliary disorders. You will review a patient case study and consider those factors in recommending and prescribing a drug therapy plan fo your patient.<\/p>\n
Learning Objectives<\/p>\n
Students will:<\/p>\n
Evaluate diagnoses for patients with gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disorders
\nJustify drug therapy plans based on patient history and diagnosis
