INTRODUCTION
A key skill for an advanced practice nurse is gathering patient information that can be used to inform diagnosis and treatment of conditions. Physical examination of a patient is often initiated by simple visual observations of external characteristics, including body language, demeanor, and cognitive ability, as well as the skin, hair, and nails (integumentary system). This information can contribute to the overall evaluation of a patient and guide assessment and diagnosis.
For this week, you will analyze a simulated case study about an adult i-Human patient with an integumentary condition and formulate a differential diagnosis, based on the patient’s information. Using the findings of your analysis, you will evaluate treatment options and then create an appropriate treatment plan for the patient.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
· Formulate differential diagnoses for adult patients with integumentary conditions
· Analyze pattern recognition in adult patient diagnoses
· Analyze the role of patient information in differential diagnosis
· Evaluate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment options for adult patients
· Create an appropriate treatment plan that includes health education and follow-up care
I-HUMAN CASE STUDY: EVALUATING AND MANAGING INTEGUMENTARY CONDITIONS
This course will require you to complete a series of case studies using the i-Human software application. The i-Human Patients (IHP) Case Player enables you to interact with virtual patients for the purpose of learning patient-assessment and diagnostic-reasoning skills. With IHP, you will be able to independently interview, examine, diagnose, and treat virtual patients and receive expert feedback on your performance.
The integumentary system is susceptible to a variety of diseases, conditions, and injuries, ranging from the bothersome but relatively innocuous bacterial or fungal infections that are categorized as disorders to skin cancer and severe burns, which can be life-threatening.
For this Case Study Assignment, you will examine your first case study and work with a patient with an integumentary condition. You will formulate a differential diagnosis, evaluate treatment options, and then create an appropriate treatment plan for the patient.
RESOURCES
Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.
TO PREPARE:
· Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how to assess, diagnose, and treat patients with integumentary conditions.
· Access i-Human from this week’s Learning Resources and review this week’s 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 most appropriate to gather more information about the patient's condition.
· Reflect on how the results would be used to make a diagnosis.
· Identify three to five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
· Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis.
· Develop a treatment plan for the patient that includes health promotion and patient education strategies for patients with integumentary conditions.
Assignment
As you interact with this week’s i-Human patient, complete the assigned case study. For guidance on using i-Human, refer to the i-Human Graduate Programs Help link within the i-Human platform.
