For some disorders, treatments can include surgery.Gastrointestinal conditions, such as ulcers, diverticulitis, and pancreatitis, often cause varying levels of pain and discomfort. Hepatobiliary conditions can also bring significant changes to patient routines and well-being.This week, you examine fundamental concepts of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disorders. You explore common disorders in these categories, and you apply the key terms and concepts that help communicate the pathophysiological nature of these issues to patients.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERSNURS6501 Week 5: Concepts of Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders Learning ObjectivesStudents will:Analyze concepts and principles of pathophysiology across the life spanLearning ResourcesRequired Readings (click to expand/reduce)McCance, K.
