As a nurse practitioner you will develop a plan of wellness for women across the lifespan, inclusive of adolescence, child-bearing years, and beyond. Follow the case of Mary below and develop a wellness plan for each life phase. For each age, include the well visit content, immunizations, preventive screenings and at least one education related to age in life.
At age 18 Mary is healthy. What are her well visit and screening needs?
At age 40 Mary is early in rheumatoid arthritis. She has two teenage children and is sexually active. What are her well visit and screening needs?
At age 65 Mary is disabled due to severe rheumatoid arthritis. What are her well visit and screening needs? What additional concerns and recommendations will you have for her as a disabled woman? How can you demonstrate and advocate for policies/practices that promote social justice and health equity for Mary’s needs?
Provide evidence-based sources.
