Week 8: Evaluation and Management of Endocrine, Metabolic, and Hematologic Conditions
Endocrine conditions such as diabetes often require extensive patient treatment and management. According to the American Diabetes Association (n.d.), “in 2018, 34.2 million Americans, or 10.5% of the population, had diabetes,” and “nearly 1.6 million had type 1 diabetes, including about 187,000 children and adolescents” (para. 1). Knowledge Check: Module 3: Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Endocrine, and Hematologic Conditions If not properly treated and managed, these millions of diabetic patients are at risk for several alterations including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. Whenever treatment and management is involved, especially long-term treatment and management, patient education is critical. As the advanced practice nurse providing care for these patients, it is your responsibility to facilitate this process. Knowledge Check: Module 3: Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Endocrine, and Hematologic ConditionsThrough patient education and provider-patient collaboration, you can increase adherence to treatment and management plans, which is essential for patients with endocrine conditions such as diabetes. Additionally, it is important to work with patients to establish a regular pattern for daily activities, such as eating and taking medications. Knowledge Check: Module 3: Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Endocrine, and Hematologic Conditions When developing care plans for patients, you must keep the projected outcomes of treatment in mind, as well as patient preferences and other factors that might impact adherence to treatment and management plans.
