This document discusses the requirements for a discussion board assignment on cervical cancer or breast cancer. Students must choose one key point related to the etiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, or pathophysiology of cervical cancer or breast cancer. They must then explain how knowledge of this key point impacts the care they provide as a nurse practitioner, without discussing patient education. Responses should be well-researched and cite evidence on how the key point can guide diagnosis, treatment, screening or health promotion.

discuss a different manner by which this information impacts the care you provide as a
nurse practitioner.Read and analyze your classmates’ original posts. Respond to two
original posts and answer the following question for each post: How does the information
presented impact the care you provide as a nurse practitioner? The role of all registered

The role of all registered nurses including advanced practice nurses is patient education. As
such your answer should discuss a different manner by which this information impacts the
care you provide as a nurse practitioner.Discussion Board AssignmentIn the discussion
board assignments, I ask you to review the specific content (etiology, pathophysiology,
clinical manifestations etc ) for a particular disease (for module 7 it is one of the neurologic
diseases in the core concepts) and discuss how it impacts the care you provide as a nurse
practitioner. The key point that I ask you to identify is upto you, there is not a right or
wrong answer to what you choose.They key point is a concept from the etiology,
pathophysiology, clinical manifestations or risk factors for the disease. For instance, a risk
factor for the development of atrial fibrillation is gout. You could use this as a key point and
describe the risk factor, describe how likely it is to increase the risk of atrial fibrillation and
why or how it increases the risk of atrial fib. Doing this will meet part of the criteria for the
discussion board assignments, which is to describe your key point. You key point canbe
anything from the etiology, patho , clinical manifestations, risk factors etc. It should be
something you find interesting and consider important. There is not a right or wrong
answer to this part of the assignment. Cervical Cancer or Breast Cancer etiology, risk
factors, clinical manifestations and the pathophysiologyOnce you have identified a key
point/concept and after reading and researching the topic you should then discuss in your
post (in addition to describing the key point) how this information impacts the care you
provide to your patient as an NP, without discussing that you will educate the patient. DO
NOT DISCUSS PATIENT EDU CATION.Decide why this key point is significant to the care you
provide to the patient and your answer with research and evidence. Think about why this
key point is important for you to know as a nurse practitioner. What will knowing this
information is important for you to know as a nurse practitioner. What will knowing this
information do for you or your patient when caring for them. Think about this as being the
“so what”. The answer may be found in the early diagnosis, treatment, screening, health
promotion and should be ed with outcomes data.The easiest answer to this type of
question is usually one related to educating the patient. The care we provide our patients as
nurse practitioners goes well beyond patient education, therefore I want you to discuss how
else you will use thisinformation to provide care to this patient. In other words if you
describe your key topic and then say I would educate my patient on xyz , then you have not
completed the assignment correctly. I do not want anyone to discuss patient education as
the reason that this information is important.Discussion Board AssignmentI want you to
delve deeper into the information and discuss how this information will shape the care you
provide to your patient. This assignment is designed to help you apply the knowledge which
you are acquiring in the course. It requires you to interpret the information you have read,
draw some conclusions about patient care, and your answer with facts.You may find an
answer in risk reduction, health promotion, primary secondary tertiary prevention, early
diagnosis, or treatment protocols. First you start by finding something in the information

3. that seems important to you and build your discussion board post from there.Discussion
Board AssignmentLet me give you an example. If the assignment called for you to review
acute myocardial infarction, then you would read about the etiology, risk factors, clinical
manifestations, and pathophysiology for this disorder and choose a topic. If it wereme, I
would choose the pathophysiology of a STEMI. I would describe how the infarction damages
the entire wall of the heart and how the damaged tissue is no longer functional, therefore
heart failure occurs. Then I would think to myself why isthis significant? It is significant
because heart failure is a very common acute and long term complication of STEMIs and
many strategies have been developed to decrease mortality and morbidity, improve quality
of life, and decrease hospitalizations.I would then describe in my post about one method
that I would use as a nurse practitioner to decrease mortality from a STEMI and heart
failure. One example maybe be the use of a beta blocker post MI and in heart failure. This
medication decreases mortality and prevents the remodeling associated with heart failure
and therefore preserves cardiac function. I would provide data which s this. The details
you provide should be more in depth than what I have presented here, but this should give
you a better understanding of the requirements of the assignment.Discussion Board
AssignmentThere is no minimal or maximal length for the discussion board post. Just make
sure you have the appropriate content. To write a good post, I estimate, it will take around
two paragraphs to explain your answer. Remember your original post and your responses
to two colleagues each require the use of references.Please let me or your coach know if you
have any questions. You are almost done and are doing great. Hang in there. Cervical Cancer
