However, subtle symptoms can sometimes escalate into life-threatening conditions that require prompt assessment and treatment.<br \/>\nNurses conducting assessments of the ears, nose, and throat must be able to identify the small differences between life-threatening conditions and benign ones. For instance, if a patient with a sore throat and a runny nose also has inflamed lymph nodes, the inflammation is probably due to the pathogen causing the sore throat rather than a case of throat cancer. With this knowledge and a sufficient patient health history, a nurse would not need to escalate the assessment to a biopsy or an MRI of the lymph nodes but would probably perform a simple strep test.<br \/>\nIn this Case Study Assignment, you consider case studies of abnormal findings from patients in a clinical setting. You determine what history should be collected from the patients, what physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted, and formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.<br \/>\nTo Prepare<br \/>\n\u00b7 By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study<br \/>\nCASE STUDY 1: Focused Ear Exam<br \/>\n\u00b7 Martha brings her 11-year old grandson, James, to your clinic to have his right ear checked. He has complained to her about a mild earache for the past 2 days. His grandmother believes that he feels warm but did not verify this with a thermometer. James states that the pain was worse while he was falling asleep and that it was harder for him to hear. When you begin basic assessments, you notice that James has a prominent tan. When you ask him how he\u2019s been spending his summer, James responds that he\u2019s been spending a lot of time in the pool.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic\/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic\/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic\/Focused SOAP Notes have specific data included in every patient case.<br \/>\nWith regard to the case study you were assigned:<br \/>\n\u00b7 Review this week\u2019s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient\u2019s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?<br \/>\n\u00b7 Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.<\/p>\n<p>The Assignment<br \/>\nUse the Episodic\/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic\/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic\/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources.<br \/>\nProvide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case.<br \/>\nList five different possible conditions for the patient\u2019s differential diagnosis and justify why you selected each<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case Study Assignment: Assessing the Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat Most ear, nose, and throat conditions that arise in non-critical care settings are minor in nature.
