·        Review the Episodic note case study your instructor provides you for this week’s Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your Episodic note case study.

·        Based on the Episodic note case study:

o   Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study. Refer to Chapter 3 of the Sullivan resource to guide you as you complete your Lab Assignment.

o   Search the Walden library or the Internet for evidence-based resources to support your answers to the questions provided.

o   Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study.

o   Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?

o   Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

THE LAB ASSIGNMENT

Using evidence-based resources from your search, answer the following questions and support your answers using current evidence from the literature.

·        Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.

·        Analyze the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.

·        Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or why not?

·        Would diagnostics be appropriate for this case, and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?

·        Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at least three different references from current evidence-based literature.
