With her last screening five years ago, I would want a pap smear, since the standard is every three years (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2014). With her presentation of vasomotor symptoms related to menopause such as the sleep disturbances, night sweats, and genitourinary symptoms, the topic of hormone therapy would need to be assessed (Roberts & Hickey, 2016). Estrogen affects the cardiovascular system through cholesterol, clot formation, and vascularity (Cleveland Clinic, 2019).

Her elevated blood pressure would suggest she is non-compliant with her current routine.

I would also want to know her A1C due to her weight.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span>During patient education, assessing what the patient knows is essential to effective teaching. Along with assessing a patient\u2019s knowledge base, understanding what method of teaching the patient prefers improves communication. Using the patient\u2019s preferred form of learning, teaching regarding weight loss (diet and exercise or medication if necessary), menopause (medication purpose and side effects), and cancer screenings (timing, risk factors, s\/s to monitor) would be discussed. Educating patients about their medication and treatment helps promote safety and accountability which leads to better patient outcomes (Laureate Education, 2019).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nReferences<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAgency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
