Assignment task:
I-Human Case Study: Evaluation and Management of EENT Conditions or Respiratory Conditions
Welcome to another i-Human Case Study. Take a moment to imagine a child and family you might meet. Based on the Learning Resources for this week, consider eye, ear, nose, and throat (EENT); and respiratory conditions you may identify frequently as a Family Nurse Practitioner and those that may be more unusual. Also consider what aspects of the exam process might be more challenging for you-assessing, evaluating, providing multiple diagnoses, treatments, or offering the patient and family management advice. Work to be mindful of how to take best advantage of the simulated i-Human exam to prepare for pediatric patients with EENT and respiratory conditions.
Resources:
Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.
To prepare:
- Review this week's Learning Resources and consider how to apply knowledge of EENT and respiratory conditions and understanding of socio-cultural family needs in assessing, diagnosing, and treating pediatric patients.
- Access i-Human Patients from this week's Learning Resources and review the i-Human Case Study. Based on the provided patient information, think about the health history you would need to collect from the patient.
- Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient's condition. Reflect on how the results would be used to make a diagnosis.
- Identify 3-5 possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient. Need Assignment Help?
- Consider the patient's diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis.
