Case study
A patient presents to your clinic with Fever and sore throat
· Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be most appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition.
· Reflect on how the results would be used to make a diagnosis.
· Identify
three to five (3–5) possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
· Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis.
· Write the History of Present Illness using Subjective findings only
· Plan: Use the expert diagnosis provided to create a pertinent, comprehensive, evidenced-based management plan. Address the following criteria in the plan: 1.) Diagnostic tests; 2.) Medications (write out a complete order, even for OTC meds); 3.) Suggested consults/referrals; 4.) Patient education; 5.) Follow-up, including time interval and specific symptoms to prompt a return visit sooner; 6.) Provide rationales for each intervention and include references to support your plan. Clinical practice guidelines should be utilized as applicable.
