Week 9 Assignment

Preventative Health and Assessing, Diagnosing, and Treating Special Populations

Certain groups of patients have concerns that may be specific to their particular population. Conditions related to men’s or women’s health, pregnancy, pediatrics, older adults, college students, LGBTQ individuals, athletes, those with particular cultural beliefs or concerns, or those undergoing palliative or end-of-life care would all fall under this category. Individuals may identify with more than one category.

For this Assignment, you practice assessing, diagnosing, and treating disorders seen in special population patients.
