Hi,
I would like someone to review the case study from attachment very careful (please review several times). From the case study above, please compare the diagnosis with I have below and assist me with any new diagnosis with the table in section 2. Please create from most to least important diagnosis.
PLEASE COMPLETE BY 5 PM TODAY.
1. HOMEWORK INSTRUCTIONS
“Differential Diagnosis Table
a. Complete a differential diagnosis table for this patient (see below)
i. A differential diagnosis list is a list of all the possible diagnoses this patient could have based on the symptoms the patient presents with, the available history and the physical exam. Examine what you know about this patient, and consider the pathophysiology as you make your list of possible diagnoses.
ii. You should be able to generate a list of at least 4-5 possibilities, though there is space for more if you would like.
iii. Put them in a list of most likely being number 1, to less likely.
1. Your number one diagnosis is the one you think this patient has, given the history and physical exam. This is the most likely diagnosis given that there are more clinical manifestations and findings in the history and exam that support this diagnosis.
2. Include any differential that you think is appropriate for this patient, given the information you have, but make sure it is in the order of most likely.
3. Be specific in your possible diagnosis. Do not use generic diseases or diagnoses. If there are more than one type of a disease, list each separately, as likely the pathophysiology is different.
