You are also encouraged to complete items 5 and 6 for instructor comments, which will not affect your g

Description Use the outline below to organize your paper or presentation. Do not type the “Steps” into your paper or presentation. Rather, formulate a well thought out analysis with logical transitions as you would a professional paper or presentation. The grading rubric will be your guide for all the points you need to address in your final submission. Research and critical thinking is a large component of this project. You will curate resources to support your statements using proper APA Style (Links to an external site.). ◦Margaret Sanger • Step 2: Describe your selected person’s biographical background (i.e., experience). ◦TIP: Research the individual’s background. This can include resume elements such as birthdate, location, education, and brief statement of their contribution to public health. (Reminder: biographical information can be easily plagiarized. Please do not copy from your biographical websites. Paraphrase or quote and cite everything according to APA.) • Step 3: Analyze the climate of the time period in terms of political, socioeconomic, environmental, and technological context in which this person worked. ◦TIP: Research the barriers and issue of the time. Think about whether this person was up against resistance or if the work this person did was welcomed. (For example, if you were writing on Abraham Lincoln and the abolition of slavery, you would note that slavery was prevalent and accepted at the time, and the change was welcomed by some and rejected by others.) • Step 4: Examine the personal beliefs of your person that prompted this work. ◦TIP: You are basically addressing the question: “Why did this person get involved with the issue at the time?” (In continuing the Lincoln example above, you would note that black people were considered property, not people; yet Lincoln believed everyone had equal rights regardless of skin color.) • Step 5: Examine how this individual overcame or confronted any adversities. ◦TIP: Think about how this person overcame the barriers and issues. Questions to consider: What did the person specifically do? Did they have any allies? How did their actions succeed or fail? • Step 6: Describe the final outcome of this individual’s contribution to community or public health. ◦TIP: Think about the importance of the contribution to community or public health at the time. Think about this question: What occurred as a result of this person’s action? • Step 7: Explain what the individual’s contribution did for overall community or public health at the time. ◦TIP: Think about this question: What was the purpose for the community or nation? (In the Lincoln example, the explanation would involve a national recognition of human rights of all people, regardless of skin color.) • Step 8: Explain why this contribution was so important at that particular point in history. ◦TIP: Think about this question: What made this important for our nation? (In the Lincoln example, you would answer the question: Why was it so important that Lincoln freed the slaves?) You have a choice of which format you wish to present your findings. You can choose either a written paper or a presentation format. Follow the instructions below for the option you choose.

A large population of aging adults experiences complication in their genitourinary health. Often, this is caused by the lapsing of various urinary organs and reproductive system. The most common form of Urinary Infections (UI), are the UTIs, which refer to inflammation and infection of the glands of the urinary bladder. These complications are experienced by both genders with the women having a higher predisposition (Detweiler, Mayers, & Fletcher, 2015). Due to the physical layout of the female genitalia, women are more common to contract UTIs. The most frequent urological concerns in the aging population include Urinary Incontinence, Dysuria, and Urethral Hypermobility, among others. Unwanted bacteria cause urinary Tract Infections within the geriatric urological system. Often, if such bacteria outnumber the healthy ones, the individual develops certain strains of UTIs. The Escherichia Coli and Proteus bacteria are responsible for up to 90% of UTIs in women and men, respectively. Dysuria is a condition such that one experiences a burning sensation on urination. This condition affects both women and men in equal measure. Common symptoms of this disease include bladder problems and failure of the renal system. However, menopause contributes to a significant extent, the prevalence of urological concerns in women. Lower levels of estrogen and general dryness of the female genital during this life stage predispose women to develop urethral complications. Urinary incontinence, the involuntary release of urine from the bladder is of significant concern in the elderly. In the US, this condition is common, especially in geriatric care. In women, it can be as a result of pregnancy, estrogen deficiency, and pelvic manipulation. Prostate issues, history of UTIs, and unmanaged diabetes are risk factors for developing this condition in men. Patients usually experience embarrassment and a resulting decrease in the quality of life due to the need for pull-ups and adult pads to avoid soiling themselves. Moreover, there occurs an apparent cost burden for the purchase of such products and admission into adult-care homes. Management and treatment of UTIs are necessary to reinstate the life of such patients. As a health provider of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), I would advocate for minimally invasive procedures to manage and treat such conditions. Treatments aimed at shrinking the prostate and relaxing bladder glands will focus on improving the response of urological patients (Hoey & Shadduck, 2016). Optimal goals and intention of treatment would be to lower the urgency and incontinence symptoms and improve patient’s quality of life. Ultimate diagnosis in urology requires intrinsic physical examination and workup. As a health provider, performing a Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) on patients promises accurate diagnosis, and therefore, the proper course of treatment. The DRE results in findings such as enlarged bladders and prostates weakened pelvic floors, and pudendal nerve damage, all of which are symptoms of various abnormalities within the urological system. Additional tests such as vaginal, pelvic, and cough exams aid in establishing the extent of genitourinary damage within the system of the patient. Upon satisfactory diagnosis, geriatric care calls for developing a counseling plan to help the patient through the healing process. Some management guidelines for recovering patients include pelvic kegel exercises, bladder control training, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle modification. The AUA has put in place strict regulations in PSA levels, especially in urological clinical care (Bekelman et al., 2018). For this reason, I have to maintain the highest standards of professionalism in delivering this form of geriatric care. Counselling also aids in countering side effects such as abnormal ejaculation, edema, and nausea as a result of medication. References Bekelman, J. E., Rumble, R. B., Chen, R. C., Pisansky, T.

INSTRUCTOR QUESTION BASED ON THE THIS DISCUSSION ABOVE I am glad to read of your desire to utilize PSA results to help guide the care of your patient population. class – what OTC or prescription medications can influence a PSA level? That is, what medications, when taken, may result in an abnormal high or low PSA level?
