NR 603 Week 5 APEA Predictor Assignment Part One
Dr. Starks and Class,
After reviewing the scores on the APEA predictor examination, I the lowest score was in the area of sexual transmitted disease. This was surprising to me being a Labor and Delivery nurse. However, in this program we have discussed several of these diseases in the discussion threads. With that being said I decided to look at other areas that I scored low in and choose a topic that we have not had a lot of exposure to therefore I chose Men’s Health as the topic for this weeks assignment.
