Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Contact Hours: 1

Phillip Meredith RN, MSN Candidate

Course Overview

Testosterone replacement therapy is becoming more common now. It’s been shown to help with alertness, energy levels, and sexual function in those with clinically low testosterone. There is a lot of marketing out there targeting men to try this/ask their doctors for more information so there is also an increased awareness. Nurses will gain a better understanding of what TRT is and what education they need to provide to their patients as there is a lot of misinformation out there.
