This is the reality patients with anterograde amnesia face. Although this form of amnesia is rare, it can result from severe brain trauma. Anterograde amnesia demonstrates just how impactful brain disorders can be to a patient's quality of living. Accurately assessing neurological symptoms is a complex process that involves the analysis of many factors.undefinedIn this Case Study Assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.undefinedTo Prepareundefined By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor. 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. undefinedWith regard to the case study you were assigned:undefined Review this week's Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study. Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned. 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? Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient. undefinedThe Case Study AssignmentundefinedUse 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. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient's differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected each. undefinedCase 1: Drooping of the face: A 33-year-old female comes to your clinic alarmed about sudden "drooping" on the right side of the face that began this morning.

Initial Post Choose one of the infectious respiratory disorders from this module to discuss the multidimensional care strategies for this disorder. List these interventions based on priority and include rationale as to why you prioritized in this manner. Reply Post While providing interventions to a patient, you will be exposed to the infectious respiratory disorder. Choose one of the respiratory disorders selected by a classmate and explain how you would provide compassionate and emphatic care to the patient while also taking the necessary precautions to protect yourself.
