NURS-6512 Week 9 Assignment 1 Case Study: Case Study Assignment: Assessing Neurological Symptoms NURS-6512 Week 9 Assignment 1 Case Study: Case Study Assignment: Assessing Neurological Symptoms Week 9 Announcement Posted on: Tuesday, October 27, 2020 6:25:20 AM EDT Welcome to Week 9!!! Can you believe that we are this far along in the semester??? Just a few updates today……mostly a repeat of last week…. 1. Week 9 Case Study Assignment This week there are 3 case studies. You are writing and submitting an episodic SOAP note. Be sure to follow the SOAP template and rubric to assure that you are completing the assignment correctly. The assignments for this week are as follows: ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS Case Study #1- Last name A-K 20-year-old male complains of experiencing intermittent headaches. The headaches diffuse all over the head, but the greatest intensity and pressure occurs above the eyes and spreads through the nose, cheekbones, and jaw. Case Study #2- Last name L-R 47-year-old obese female complains of pain in her right wrist, with tingling and numbness in the thumb and index and middle fingers for the past 2 weeks. She has been frustrated because the pain causes her to drop her hair-styling tools Case Study #3- Last name S-Z 33-year-old female comes to your clinic alarmed about sudden “drooping” on the right side of the face that began this morning. She complains of excessive tearing and drooling on her right side as well. 2. Discussion Boards – overall great job with your discussion posts. You are providing additional insight to your peers and incorporating good additional references. When writing your initial post, be sure to follow the SOAP template format. Insert or discuss the information that you would want to have to arrive at your list of differentials. Be specific…ie: when discussing ROM. You need to indicate….FROM of left shoulder, etc… be specific in how you document. Your differentials are all looking good. Be sure to list in reverse chronological order…..most suspected to least suspected. I have been challenging you to also think out of the box with those differentials. Just because we are working on a musculoskeletal unit…..doesn’t mean it is necessarily a musculoskeletal issue. It could me other medical issues, such as in this past week….back pain could be contributed to an abdominal aneurysm or even a kidney infection. The answer may not always be as black and white as you thing. Think outside the box ?? 3. APA Errors For the most part, everyone is doing a very good job with your references being in APA. Some of you…..I am repeatedly reminding you to correct the same problems I am seeing on a weekly basis. It is not ok just to “freelance” and create your own method of citing articles. You must follow the APA 7th edition manual. Please do so…..you are graduate students expected to work at a graduate level. Also, before hitting submit for your weekly post, make sure you have intext citations for everything on your reference list. Your reference list must match what is in your intext citations. 4. DCE Assignments This week you will be completing a head to toe assessment. Please follow the rubric…..you must receive a minimum of 80% of this assignment to pass the class. You can repeat this assignment as many times as needed to achieve the maximum score. Be sure to follow the SH feedback to improve your assessment. This assignment must be completed and uploaded by the due date. You are submitting 3 things for this assignment: Your lab pass, the documentation notes for the head to toe encounter, and the acknowledgement form. Additionally, for the acknowledgement forms, please do not type your name. I need an actual signature on that acknowledgment form. Have a great week 9!! Stay well!!!!!

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. In this Case Study Assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. NURS-6512 Week 9 Assignment 1 Case Study: Case Study Assignment: Assessing Neurological Symptoms To Prepare 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. With regard to the case study you were assigned: 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. The Case Study Assignment Use 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. By Day 6 of Week 9 Submit your Assignment.
