I-HUMAN PATIENTS CASE STUDY: ASSESSING THE GENITOURINARY AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS
 
Patients are frequently uncomfortable discussing with healthcare professionals issues that involve the genitalia and rectum; however, gathering an adequate history and properly conducting a physical exam are vital. Examining case studies can help prepare advanced practice nurses to accurately assess patients with problems in these areas.
 
For this i-Human Patients Case Study Assignment, you will examine and work with a patient with a condition of the genitourinary and/or reproductive system.
