The American Cancer Society estimates that by the end of 2012, more than 226,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 241,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (American Cancer Society, 2012a; American Cancer Society 2012b). With such prevalence of women’s and men’s cancers, patient education and preventive services are essential. In clinical settings, advanced practice nurses must assist physicians in educating patients on risk factors, preventive services, and for patients diagnosed with cancer, on potential drug treatments. The clinical implications of women’s and men’s cancer greatly depend on early detection, which is primarily achieved through preventive services. In this Assignment, you consider the short-term and long-term implications of cancer and drug treatments associated with women’s and men’s health, as well as appropriate preventive services.

To prepare:

• Select a type of cancer associated      with women’s or men’s health such as breast, cervical, or ovarian cancer      in women and prostate cancer in men.
• Locate and review articles examining      the type of cancer you selected.
• Review the U.S. Preventive Services      Task Force article in the Learning Resources. Think about available      preventive services that providers might recommend for patients at risk of      this type of cancer.
• Select two of the following factors:      genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how these      factors might impact decisions related to preventive services.
• Consider drug treatment options for      patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected including      short-term and long-term implications of the treatments.

Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe available preventive      services that providers might recommend for patients at risk of the type      of cancer you selected.
• Explain how the factors you selected      might impact decisions related to preventive services.
• Describe drug treatment options for      patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected. Explain the short-term      and long-term implications of these treatments.

Evaluating Interdisciplinary Collaboration Skills

The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.—Vince LombardiCollaboration is a critical component of quality improvement. It is also a central tenet of your endeavors as a scholar-practitioner in this Walden University Master’s program. To succeed in your role as a nurse leader-manager, it is important to engage in ongoing development of collaborative skills and to help foster a culture that values collaboration.In Weeks 1 and 2 of this course, you analyzed your strengths and considered how to leverage these strengths for effective leadership. In a similar vein, this week you evaluate your strengths and areas for growth with regard to interdisciplinary collaboration.

To prepare:Review the competencies described in the Interprofessional Education Collaborative report and in Chapter 9 of the Hickey and Brosnan text.

As you reflect on the competency statements outlined for each domain, think about which ones reflect your strengths. Which competency statements point to areas for growth?Consider the benefit of working with interdisciplinary teams for addressing quality improvement initiatives.Conduct a search of the literature and select at least one article that illustrates the benefits of interprofessional collaboration for nurse leader-managers as it relates to improving quality.

In clinical settings, some of the most common questions that patients ask are Why do I have this? What caused this disorder? Will it ever go away? These emotional questions can be difficult to ask and to answer. However, for patients to come to terms with their diagnoses and adhere to treatment plans, they must have an understanding of factors that might have caused, or continue to impact, their disorders. As an advanced practice nurse, it is important that you are able to explain disorders, associated alterations and symptoms, and changes that might occur within your patients’ bodies.
