Practicum: Journal Entry week 5
Reflect on a patient who presented with endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or amenorrhea during your Practicum Experience. Describe the patient’s personal and medical history, drug therapy and treatments, and follow-up care. Then, explain how treatment modalities differ for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and amenorrhea, as well as the implications of these differences when diagnosing and treating patients. If you did not have an opportunity to evaluate a patient with this background during the last five weeks, you may select a related case study from a reputable source or reflect on previous clinical experiences.
