Abstract:
As the companion article to Part I of the Journal of Nurse-Midwifery (JNM) series on "Primary Care for Women: Comprehensive Assessment of the Head and Neck", the pertinent primary care management steps involved in the prevention and treatment of problems of the head and neck in women are addressed. Emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and management of the most common head and neck illnesses; less common diagnoses that may be acute, seasonal, and/or life-threatening are also presented. Collaborative roles in the management of women with problems of the head and neck are discussed, and emphasis is placed on the importance of both preventive strategies and coordination of referrals.
