Fact sheet on Prostate Cancer

This week includes the study of disorders affecting women’s and men’s health. You will analyze the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapeutic interventions of these disorders and learn to integrate these interventions into patient care. You will also study the maladaptive and physiological responses to these disorders and the drugs prescribed to treat symptoms and their effects. For this Assignment, you will create a fact sheet that will follow the same format as the one you created in Week 6. For this fact sheet, you will select a disorder affecting women’s or men’s health. Be sure to incorporate any feedback you received on the Week 6 Fact sheet assignment. Feedback from 1st assignment was - physiological and maladaptive responses needed to have more specific and clear distinction between the two. Create a 1-page fact sheet on your selected disorder in which you address the following: • Briefly describe the pathophysiology of the disorder you selected. PROSTATE CANCER Be specific. • Explain how the maladaptive and physiological responses of the disorder might differ. • Describe the types of drugs that might be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with this disorder you selected and explain why. Be specific and provide examples. Use the Learning Resources and/or best available evidence from current literature to support your explanation.
