As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely experience patient encounters with complex comorbidities. For example, consider a female patient who is pregnant who also presents with hypertension, diabetes, and has a recent tuberculosis infection. How might the underlying pathophysiology of these conditions affect the pharmacotherapeutics you might recommend to help address your patient’s health needs? What education strategies might you recommend for ensuring positive patient health outcomes?
You will be assigned a patient case study and will consider how to address the patient’s current drug therapy plans. You will then suggest recommendations on how to revise these drug therapy plans to ensure effective, safe, and quality patient care for positive patient health outcomes.

As an advanced practice nurse, you will almost certainly encounter patients who have several comorbidities. Consider a pregnant female patient who also has hypertension, diabetes, and a recent tuberculosis infection. What impact can the underlying pathophysiology of these diseases have on the pharmacotherapeutics you propose to aid your patient’s health needs? What educational initiatives do you think would be most effective in promoting favorable patient health outcomes?
You’ll be given a patient case study to work on, and you’ll have to figure out how to deal with the patient’s present pharmacological therapy programs. You will then suggest recommendations on how to revise these drug therapy plans to ensure effective, safe, and quality patient care for positive patient health outcomes.
