Common Health Conditions with Implications for Women

Case studies provide the opportunity to simulate realistic scenarios involving patients presenting with various health problems or symptoms. Such case studies enable nurse learners to apply concepts, lessons, and critical thinking to interviewing, screening, and diagnostic approaches, as well as to the development of treatment plans.

For this Case Study Assignment, you will chose from four case studies to identify common health implications for women. You will then explore the chosen case study to determine the diagnosis, diagnostic tests, and treatment options for the patient.

Week 8 case study

Case Study: Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding

Gretchen Abernathy is a 38-year-old G2 P2 Caucasian female who presents to the clinic with complaints of frequent menstrual bleeding. Her menstrual calendar shows bleeding frequency 17-36 days, lasting 5-10 days in duration and on her heaviest day she needs to change her super tampon every 2 hours. She relates this has been getting worse since stopping her OCP’s when she had a bilateral tubal ligation 4 months after having her second child 9 months ago. She is upset as no one told her that weight gain could happen after and relates she has gained 27 lbs. since her surgery. She states that all this bleeding is making her tired and she cannot keep herself awake. Gretchen’s mother told her she probably just had “low iron” and if she took vitamins, she would feel better.
