1. Application of Course Knowledge
A. Review the results of your APEA predictor exam. Identify the knowledge area in which your score was the lowest. (I did the lowest in RESPIRATORY)
B. Create an original case study based on a common chief complaint seen in clients in primary care settings in the body system related to the lowest-scoring knowledge area. Select a chief complaint not already covered in this term’s iHuman case studies. (We covered asthma and COPD in iHuman so those cannot be addressed).
C. Case study requirements:
a. Include the chief complaint, demographics, previous medical history (PMHx), previous surgical history (PSHx), allergies, lifestyle, history of present illness (HPI).
b. Analyze associated risk factors/demographics that contribute to the chief complaint and differential diagnoses
c. List three common differential diagnoses for the chief complaint, including pathophysiology and rationale, from the topic area identified on the APEA exam.
d. Discuss how the three differential diagnoses differ from each other in occurrence, pathophysiology, and presentation. Your discussion should compare and contrast these diagnoses rather than listing them.
e. Describe relevant testing required to diagnose/evaluate the severity of the three differential diagnoses.
f. Present applicable national guidelines related to diagnosis and diagnostic testing for the differential diagnoses.
