PY - 2019 T2 - Women's Health Across the Lifespan, 2e AB - Although every person is a special patient requiring the utmost in medical and medication therapy, the primary emphasis of this book is individualizing therapy for girls and women. This book builds upon learning from standard medical and pharmacotherapy textbooks by describing the sex gender differences in biology, pathophysiology, assessment, social determinants, pharmacotherapy, and health care services that require different assessments, diagnoses, treatments, communications, and health care delivering specific for female patients. Basic, clinical, social, and health care service research continue to document how health care needs to be differentiated based on sex and gender versus a one-dimensional approach that ignores these two important concepts.
