I-HUMAN PATIENTS CASE STUDY: ASSESSING THE GENITOURINARY AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS

Examining case studies can help prepare advanced practice nurses to accurately assess patients with problems in these areas.
For this i-Human Patients Case Study Assignment, you will examine and work with a patient with a condition of the genitourinary and/or reproductive system.
