As 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 requires thoughtful and careful investigation. Similarly, hepatobiliary disorders may also mirror many of the signs and symptoms that patients present when suffering from GI disorders.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?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 for your patient.To PrepareReview the case study assigned by your Instructor for this AssignmentReflect on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and drugs currently prescribed.Think about a possible diagnosis for the patient. Consider whether the patient has a disorder related to the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary system or whether the symptoms are the result of a disorder from another system or other factors, such as pregnancy, drugs, or a psychological disorder.Consider an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.THE SCENARIO/CASE STUDY:Patient HL comes into the clinic with the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, anddiarrhea. The patient has a history of drug abuse and possible Hepatitis C. HL iscurrently taking the following prescription drugs:· Synthroid 100 mcg daily· Nifedipine 30 mg daily· Prednisone 10 mg dailyTHE ASSIGNMENTExplain your diagnosis (Gastroenteritis) for the patient, including your rationale for the diagnosis.Describe an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.Justify why you would recommend this drug therapy plan for this patient. Be specific and provide examples.

The nursing process is a tool that puts knowledge into practice. By utilizing this systematic problem-solving method, nurses can determine the health care needs of an individual and provide personalized care.Write a paper (1,750-2,000 words) on cancer and approach to care based on the utilization of the nursing process.

What ACS services would you recommend and why?Explain how the nursing process is utilized to provide safe and effective care for cancer patients across the life span. Your explanation should include each of the five phases and demonstrate the delivery of holistic and patient-focused care.Discuss how undergraduate education in liberal arts and science studies contributes to the foundation of nursing knowledge and prepares nurses to work with patients utilizing the nursing process. Consider mathematics, social and physical sciences, and science studies as an interdisciplinary research area.You are required to cite to a minimum of five sources to complete this assignment.

Consider the following case study:Patient AO has a history of obesity and has recently gained 9 pounds. The patient has been diagnosed with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Drugs currently prescribed include the following:· Atenolol 12.5 mg daily· Doxazosin 8 mg daily· Hydralazine 10 mg qid· Sertraline 25 mg daily· Simvastatin 80 mg dailyTo prepare:Review      this week’s media presentation on hypertension and hyperlipidemia, as well      as Chapters 19 and 20 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text.Select      one one the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or      behavior factors.Reflect      on how the factor you selected might influence the patient’s      pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.Consider      how changes in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes might      impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy.Think      about how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan based on the      pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes. Reflect on whether you would      modify the current drug treatment or provide an alternative treatment      option for the patient.With these thoughts in mind:Post an explanation of how the factor you selected might influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in the patient from the case study. Then, describe how changes in the processes might impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy. Finally, explain how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan.- This work should have Introduction and conclusion- This work should have at 3 to 5current references (Year 2012 and up)- Use at least 2 references from class Learning ResourcesThe following Resources are not acceptable:1.
