Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is for learners to:
- Have the opportunity to integrate knowledge and skills learned throughout all core courses in the FNP track and previous clinical courses.
- Demonstrate an advancing understanding of the care of women and children.
- Demonstrate the ability to analyze previous patients seen in the clinical setting be able to perform an evidenced-based review of their case, diagnosis, and plan, while guiding and taking feedback from peers regarding the case
- Demonstrate professional communication and leadership, while advancing the education of peers.
For Weeks 3 of the course you will be presenting your own
case from clinical. The case should be clear, organized, and meet the following
guidelines:]
Initial Case Presentation:
The initial presentation should include BOTH the subjective and
objective dataon the patient organized as you would organize them in a SOAP
(CC, HPI – in paragraph format (noOLDCART); ROS, PE findings, three (3)
differential diagnoses with rationale and in-text citation of scholarly
source(s) used as support and Two (2) questions for your peers to address. **Do notput the diagnosis or plan in initial
post.
WEEK 3: The case should be pediatric (a patient age 17 years or
younger). By now, with two full courses and almost all of this course completed
you should have seen a pediatric patient at some time.
WEEK 3 specific guidelines: The
case must notbe something overly simple. The list of things that should not be
covered include sore throat, URI, UTI, ear infection, or contact dermatitis
(poison ivy). You need to present a case
that intrigued you or presents new content in a different light. *One of
the above diagnosis can be presented if the findings were unusual and you clear
such case with your course faculty prior to posting (at least 2 days before
posting). In the pediatric case you must also include in the objective data
growth chart percentiles for height, weight, and BMI, and tanner staging. A patient you saw both for initial complaint and
follow-up would be ideal, but not required.
