Homework: Case Study Analysis

Case Scenario:

Patient is a 58-year-old man who presents to the clinic with complaints of not being able to obtain an erection. He reports that the symptoms have been worsening and his wife told him to be seen by the provider. The patient denies any dysuria, fever, or abdominal pain. He has a history of diabetes type 2 and hypertension. The patient is currently taking Metformin 500 mg po twice daily and Lisinopril 20 mg po daily. He reports that he has been having some issues at work and is under a lot of stress. Upon exam peripheral and femoral pulses are present. Scrotum is normal. Normal size testes. Penis is circumcised. UA is unremarkable.

An understanding of the factors surrounding women's and men's health can be critically important to disease diagnosis and treatment in these areas. This importance is magnified by the fact that some diseases and disorders manifest differently based on the sex of the patient.
Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond the human systems involved. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact.

An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in systems based on these characteristics is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

In this Homework, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.
