10 discussion
Prophylactic
Hysterectomy
This discussion assignment provides a forum
for discussing relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies
covered. For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the
Discussion Area by the due date assigned.
To support your work, use your course
textbook readings and the South University Online Library. As in all
assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the
citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the
postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at
least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion
by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point
of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or
indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the
discussion. Cite resources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your
participation for this assignment by the end of the week.
For this assignment, you will review and
reflect on the Prophylactic Hysterectomy article. This article can be applied
to healthcare providers in the primary care and specialty settings. Discussion of the article is based on the
course objectives and weekly content, which emphasize the core learning
objectives for an evidence-based primary care curriculum. Throughout your nurse
practitioner program, discussions are used to promote the development of
clinical reasoning through the use of ongoing assessments and diagnostic
skills, and to develop patient care plans that are grounded in the latest
clinical guidelines and evidence-based practice.
Discuss any “take-away” thoughts from the
article.
What are the ethical dilemmas to consider
with prophylactic surgeries?
Discuss the
screenings/interventions/options/education that you would provide to a patient
that has a strong family history of ovarian cancer. What if the patient has no
health insurance? What resources could you offer to assist the patient?
