A: Assessment
Medical Diagnoses. Provide 3 differential diagnoses which may provide an etiology for the CC. The first diagnosis (presumptive diagnosis) is the diagnosis with the highest priority. Provide the ICD-10 code and pertinent findings to support each diagnosis.

Pertinent Findings |
| Acute post-traumatic headache | G44.309 | Positive for headache attributed from MVA 1 week ago |
| Cervical strain | S13.4XXA | Complains of neck stiffness 3/10 pain after MVA 1 week ago |
| Unspecified injury of the neck, initial encounter related to MVA | S19.9XXA | Reports headache over last 2 days after MVA 1 week ago |
P: Plan
Address all 5 parts of the comprehensive treatment plan. If you do not wish to order an intervention for any part of the treatment plan, write “None at this time” but do not leave any heading blank. No intervention is self-evident. Provide a rationale and evidence-based in-text citation for each intervention.

| Flexeril(cyclobenzaprine) | 10mg | 3xs a day as needed. For 2 weeks. | Flexeril is a muscle relaxant. IT works by blocking nerve impulses that are sent to your brain. (Woo & Robertson, 2018) |
| Tylenol | 500 mg by mouth | Take 2 tablets every 6-8 hours as needed | Most commonly used medicine for mild to moderate pain – from backaches, headaches, and sprains (Woo & Roberston, 2018). |

Education: |
|||
|
Encourage the patient to take medications strictly as prescribed by the physician. Advise the patient to observe the symptoms of her condition and alert the doctor in case of any severity or increase in the frequency of the headache. Educate the patient to apply nonpharmacological measures in managing her condition such as ice application, cool presses to the head, scalp, neck or face, moist heat application, quiet atmosphere and darkened room (Hugentobler, Vegh, Janiszewski, & Quatman-Yates, 2015). Encourage the patient to adopt mild stretches to help in relieving the upper back and neck stiffness.
|
Rationale/Citation | Taking medication as prescribed is important for controlling chronic conditions, treating temporarty conditions and overall long-term health. Ice and heat therapy has been shown to lessen the pain of headaches. Turnig off lights can help lessen headaches, and any sound triggers. Physical therapy can reduce pain and stiffness. Also helps to improve neck and head ROM. | |
|
Follow Up: Indicate when patient should return to clinic and provide detailed instructions indicating if the patient should return sooner than scheduled or seek attention elsewhere. |
|||
|
Explain to Ms. Jones when emergency care is required in instances such as worsening of the headache, hearing problems, changes in vision, loss of consciousness, increased episodes of nausea and vomiting that is accompanied by extreme headache, tingling, numbness, or paralysis of new onset (Lin et., 2015). Advise the patient to call the hospital after every two weeks for review of her symptoms and alteration of the treatment plan with better interventions. Visit the clinic after 5 to 7 days for evaluation and assessment of the presenting illness and monitoring the effectiveness of the prescribed medication.
