Pharmacotherapy for Endocrine and Musculoskeletal Disorders, pharmacists-advanced-pharmacology-assignmentPatients with endocrine and musculoskeletal disorders often require long-term treatment and care resulting in the need for extensive patient education. By appropriately educating patients, advanced practice nurses can assist patients with the management of their disorders. In clinical settings, patients with endocrine and musculoskeletal disorders typically seek treatment for symptoms that pose problems to their everyday lives as ordinary tasks may become difficult to complete. For instance, patients might have difficulty walking short distances, preparing meals, or even running errands. To reduce these symptoms and additional health risks, it is essential to develop drug therapy plans with individual patient factors in mind.To prepare:· Select one of the following endocrine or musculoskeletal disorders: thyroid disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatic arthritis, gout, multiple sclerosis, or fibromyalgia. Consider the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with this disorder.· Select one of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how this factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.With these thoughts in mind:WriteA description of the endocrine or musculoskeletal disorder you selected(I am looking for an explanation at the cellular or molecular level (whenever possible). including types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat associated symptoms.· Then, explain how the factor you selected might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.Discussion: Pharmacotherapy for Endocrine and Musculoskeletal DisordersPatients with endocrine and musculoskeletal disorders often require long-term treatment and care resulting in the need for extensive patient education.

May use https://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/clinicians-providers/guidelines-recommendations/index.html Rules for writing (FYI) Whether writing a discussion posting or a paper, keep a few things in mind— 1) I am looking for an explanation at the cellular or molecular level (whenever possible). 2) I am not looking for pathophysiological explanations that we would give to patients (e.g. “your heart just isn’t pumping the right way). While this explanation is acceptable for patient teaching, it will not cut it in a course titled “advanced pathophysiology.” To be very specific- I am looking for you to tell me the precise aberrancies (or theorized aberrancies) which inexorably lead to disease states. Thanks.
